I have decided I'd like to learn Spanish. I figure this a good discipline for myself and something I can build upon each day. Most of my thoughts (& supposedly other people's as well) come to me thru words and often I get sick of the words at my disposal, finding them inadaqute to express my inner feelings & experience.
I like the idea of being able to communicate in a new way, with new words. I can imagine that by learning a new language I will have to think about the way I communicate in genral and which words, phrases, etc. are truly important to me to learn.
I also like the idea of suprising a young Latin American maiden by starting a conversation with her in her native tounge and being able to have "private" conversations in public arenas.
Any advice on the best way to learn a language (I know school didn't work very effectively)? I know alot of you have English as your second language.
Any good forums in Spanish that y'all know of? Or websites with alot of vocabulary/translations?
If you'd like, share your experiences or learning/knowing multiple languages.
Thanks!
