As Versi said one way to pick up a language is to watch t.v. in that language. You’ll find some funny Spanish soaps on the local channels. Like soaps everywhere, they are full of drama, tears, stolen kisses and temper tantrums. Or you can catch translated versions of popular US series like Lost or make it a point to always watch the news in Spanish.
Another way to make learning Spanish more fun is to follow Spanish blogs. Versi’s Me Yo Misma…. is very entertaining. And it is so much more interesting to work your way through each blog post with English/Spanish dictionary in hand than to do the same with a dusty old text book. If you are completely lost when viewing Versi’s blog or any other Spanish page, don’t forget you can always click on the translate button on the Google toolbar.
Wow, I feel overwhelmed, thanks for the link and for the compliment.
I published a ‘meme’ and I’d like you to follow it, it’s about your favourite television ad.
