Hey Amy, don't be sad. Subjunctives you can drive around, meaning you can speak without and people will still understand, and while reading just check http://www.wordreference.com/conj/ESverbs.asp to see what it is. As for the r and rr, your Chinese background makes them difficult to pronounce. Looks like you might need more listening to Spanish speakers, try some podcasts or television: http://wwitv.com/portal.htm?http://wwitv.com/television/index.html?http://wwitv.com/television/191.htm Suerte, amiga!

Hi Amy. Subjunctive is necessary in several Roman-Mediterranean languages, where you want to talk about possible but unreal things, or talk politely. Anyway, we don’t use that too often, neither. My mom used to say me in my early years: “Me gustaria que hagas tu cama” (I’d like you maKe your bed), instead of the more formal “Me gustaría que hicieras tu cama” (I’d like you maDe your bed). RR, R and L are rather different. Have you heard a cat sleeping?, well, that’s the RR sound. Some english words have spanish R and L unnoticed. Examples: The Spanish R appears in US English for ‘counter’. Also, the Spanish L sounds in the english “caller”. Examples of single L: 'cola' (tail) sounds like saying "call-ah" Spanish, like german, is based on harsh sounds. English is composed of more soft sounds. Hearing Spanish music while repeating the lyrics may help you.
