I'm a User Experience Developer with aspirations to artist. I like drawing, playing the guitar, watching movies (I'd love to make one) and videogames (but not only to play them but also to create them). I was born in Madrid, lived my until 5 in Mallorca, and in Valencia until I was around 21 when I started travelling. I spent an awesome year in Finland, six great months in Urbana IL, and I have been living in Ireland since 2009 where I am currently working for a German company called SAP.

    There's a conversation group happening in the public library (in Ilac), I was thinking of attending, but I already go to French classes at l'Alliance Francaise on Wednesdays. I might try to learn German basics, and give a shot to the Thursday group... Anyway, I hope this helps! :)

    There are many sources, you should first add some friends here who speak Spanish and want to learn some English. Many websites have short tutorials with the basics and YouTube is great source to find Spanish videos. Anything like that, CD's, books, etc, are good in order to get the basics. Listen to some Spanish songs, watch some Spanish movies with Spanish subtitles... And make a lot of Spanish friends and friends who speak the language and can help you (I'm sure you'll know some in Jamaica). Finally, if none of that works, get a Spanish gf/bf or move to a Spanish speaking place, that'll do it ;)

    Ok, I hope we're not making your homework ;P 1. "Desde que descubrí que no cabía en mi ropa vieja" seems the beginning of a sentence, or at the most, a short answer. It means "since I found out I didn't fit in my old clothes", so you can say it is grammatically incomplete, since the whole sentence is more of a "temporal" verb complement. The sentence could be right, in my opinion, if it was for example "Desde que descubrí que no cabía en mi ropa vieja, empecé a hacer ejercicio". 2. "Sara fue a trabajar a pesar de no sentirse bien" is correct. As you may know, it means "Sara went to work even though she didn't feel ok".

    Ok, your suggestions are quite good. But it depends on the tone you want to use, obviously you would not (or at least I would not) tell a lady "you're hot!!". 1. Estás buena / estás buenísima: That's probably the most accurate. 2. Estás guapísima: I would probably say "eres guapísima", "estás guapísima" would be only for that right moment -like "you LOOK hot", like for someone you already know (and usually doesn't look that great ^_^), while "ser" is more like "you -actually- ARE hot". 3. Estás monísima: Sounds more like what my mom would say to her. 4. Uy mami estás deliciosa: I guess it is more of a specifically south-american compliment (not wrong, just not that universal). That's in regard to the ones you mentioned. I'd personally tell her: "Eres preciosa": Like "you're beautiful". "Precios@" is an adjective which sounds extremely good in Spanish (at least for me), you can use it to describe any nice things you find in her "tienes unos ojos preciosos". "Pareces un angel caído del cielo": You look like an angel that felt from the sky. (ok, I guess that'd be more for your gf). Then you can use funny sentences (probably not working for me, but I'm sure they're better with some foreign accent :P): "Estás para mojar pan": Referencing the habit of finishing a dish by picking up the sauce left with pieces of bread. "Eso es andar y lo demás es joder el suelo": That's walking, the rest is just "fucking" (like ruining) the floor. Finally, give it a try by looking different "piropos" (compliments) in google: http://www.google.es/search?q=piropos
