Hello, my name is Cynthia and I'm from Chile. My native language is Spanish and I speak English as a second language. I decided to use English in my introduction because I thought it would be easier to understand for most people. I like languages and the different way they sound. My favorites are Slavic and Germanic languages. Currently I'm learning to speak German and Russian. And as many of you I'm an autodidact :)

    Супер! This is very helpful. It's easier to recognize and memorize word this way.

    Great article, thank you!

    "Aquí" y "ahí" son abverbios de lugar. La diferencia está en la distancia en la que se encuentra el objeto o sujeto sobre el cuál se hace referencia.

    Por ejemplo: 

    "Aquí (en mi mano) está mi libro"

    "Mi libro está ahí (sobre la mesa)"

    Estás en lo correcto, es un error tipográfico. La palabra correcta es "podremos".

    Can the word "gerade" be used with any verb? (Present Continuous) I was reading an article about German language and the present continuous tense, and to my big surprise I found out there is no such thing as the "verb + ing ending" English rule to determine the present continuous tense in a verb. Basically, it means I can't modify the verb in German, however I learned the word "gerade" can be used as follows: If I want to say "I'm reading a book", the German equivalent would be "Ich lese gerade ein Buch". Can I use the word "gerade" in this manner with any verb? Is there any other way to express the same idea?

    Was ist für dich ein perfekter Moment? Ein perfekter Moment für mich ist zu essen geniessen und trinken Wein mit Freunde und Familie.

    Es lo mismo, depende de cómo lo pronuncie cada persona. Es bastante común que las personas de habla hispana a veces cambiemos la manera de pronunciar esas letras incluso en una misma oración :) Ambas letras deberían pronunciarse como "j" en inglés, pero algunas personas a veces usan un sonido más suave como "y" en inglés. Sin embargo eso no cambia el significado de las palabras.

    I would translate it like this: "You do not know how I appreciate the information you gave me, it's truly guiding for me" That's because the word "orientativa" in the way it's being used makes reference to "help" or "guidance"

    Hi Michael, It would've been helpful if you'd posted the original text in English. That way it would be easier to translate into Spanish maintaining the whole context, therefore corrections would be more accurate.

    Hello Mia, Personally I think that having a particular accent is not such a bad thing, actually most of us who are non native speakers have a little bit of it. The important thing is to able to communicate with others and get understood. Now regarding to your question, what I found very useful is listening to music in your target language whether is American or British English (I'd recommend to stick to just one of them and not mix them), watching movies with subtitles as Martin recommended above is also very useful. Listen to the pronunciation and intonation as much as you can, then repeat it to yourself and try to imitate. The key to success is to listen, listen, and listen! :) Basically that's what I'm doing to learn German ;) Best of Luck!!

    What does this German abbreviation mean? I was checking song lyrics when I read this: "Wie'n kleiner Applaus". Now my question is, what does "wie'n" stand for?, does it mean "wie ein" by any chance or am I too lost? :) Thank you!
