    I wanted to be a dentist, but when I grew up, I realized that was not for me. My inclinations are to arts and human nature in general.

    If you want a linguists opinion, this is it: no one can say there is a better Spanish (or any other language in the world) than the other. All of them have their own particularities and beauty and for that reason no one can choose one to be the better in detriment of another. If that happens, that would create a miscomfort in everyone that is not speaking the "best" language and this wouldn't be nice. What we all do, as Mart said above, is to like or dislike one variant of a language, but this si your own opinion about it and that is all we can do. For instance: my mother language is Portuguese (Brazilian variation), but I love the Portuguese from Portugal as well. I can't understand much the Portuguese from Mozambique, but I still like its sound, but the one from East Timor I don't like that much. As you can see, this is a particular opinion.

    "Isto" and "isso" are remaining forms from latin and there is no gender for them. They are used in sentences where gender is not specified, but the notion is of a situation or samething that gathers a total comprehension by the listener. For example, let's say you are fed up with "something" that is happening to you and you say: "Isso/Isto está me deixando muito chateado!". In this sentence, "isso" means the situation as a whole and there is no gender at all for that. In spoken language, "isso" is easily pronounced than "isto", so its usage is much larger than the second form.

    "Está nevando. Não importa como ele é.
    No futuro, eu nunca vou me esquecer de você,
    Ou de nossas lembranças." ♥

    To me it sounded like a poem! Beautiful!

    The letters "K", "w" and "y" come from another alphabet and for many years, they were part of the Brazilian alphabet to be used mainly in names. In 1983, they were abolished from the alphabet, now returning in 2009 and from 2012 on, they will figure in the Brazilian alphabet normally. Their pronunciation are the same as the letters "q", "v" and "i" respectively. The pronunciation of the letter "e" differs a little in Brazil and Portugal, but completely understandable by native speakers of both countries.

    Hello Charlie, here is the correction: "Eu (<strike>apenas</strike>) estou apenas (<strike>começ</strike>) começando". It is better to use the adverb after the verb.

    Angel, você poderia adicionar um exemplo ou dois para que eu possa explicar melhor? Não entendi bem se você está falando de "artigo" antes do pronome relativo "que" ou de preposição. Um abraço.
