¡Hola! My name is Vincent. I'm 35 and I'm born & bred native English. I am planning to go to South America next year with my girlfriend. We plan to start in Santiago and then travel around for about a year experiencing all that South America has to offer. Currently I am trying to learn Spanish using a program called Fluenica. It is very good but I am struggling because I don't get to speak Spanish with anyone and sometimes it is really hard trying to understand all the subtleties of Latin American Spanish. I also have the Lonely Planet phrasebook & dictionary. I also use another book called Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish. Hopefully I can meet people on here that help with problems I have when learning Spanish. I am also looking for a professional tutor to have lessons with. If you have any questions with trying to learn English then I am very happy to help you if I can!

It was very nice talking to Vincent. He had some background of Spanish and needed just brushing it up. The lesson went by fast and Vincent did a great job!

    Yo Quiero / Quisiera / Me Gustaria - ??? So the Latin American Spanish I have learned has been telling me to use "Yo quiero" when I want something but I have just found out this is not very polite. Apparently I should be using "quisiera" or "me gustaria" instead. But I am confused what they actually mean and when I should use them. Also do I need to use "yo" as well; "Yo quisiera una manzana" or just "quisiera una manzana"

    Both are fine to use. But to make the sentence sound more natural say it this way; "I talk with MY friends from another country" "I talk to MY friends from another country" Also if you are referring to a conversation that has happened use talk in its past tense; "I talkED with my friends from another country"

    Kristen is right. Also "to leave" means to not remove something from where it is. Eg. "Leave that spoon in the bowl."
