In Hungary, it is  compulsory for elementary and high school students to learn a foreign language,  and many students have language classes every day of the week. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, despite the efforts of the Hungarian education system, few students  learn to speak a foreign language by the time they finish high school. Adults  have a similar tendency of not being able to progress, causing most of them to  give up. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indeed, learning a foreign language can be a frustrating task. Most people  know the feeling when you sit over your homework and cannot make sense of the  sentence in front of you. But remember, it takes time to learn a new language  and you need to persist. This is a very important point often neglected by  language learners. Time and persistence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another important aspect is that learning a new language is hard work. There  are those few derive pleasure out of the process but most will simply want to  get to a level where they can start using the language. In any case, you  absolutely &lt;i&gt;must&lt;/i&gt; learn vocabulary. Grammar is something you can gradually  put together yourself from sentences you have memorized (although some people  prefer to memorize grammar too), but you absolutely &lt;i&gt;have to&lt;/i&gt; learn the  words of the new language. There is simply no way around this. There are no  shortcuts here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore the secret rules of learning foreign languages is time, persistence  and hard work. Motivation is perhaps the best trick to get you going but you  will simply need to bite the bullet and keep going once your motivation runs  out. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;Learning a new language can be difficult, but some languages can be trickier than others. For native English speakers, the difficulty level of a new language depends on a variety of factors. So which are the most difficult to learn? And which languages would you be able to master in under a year? View the infographic below to learn more.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Producer/songwriter Rudy Perez has helped everyone from Christina Aguilera to Il Divo record in Spanish. His latest crossover project is the one and only Beyonce, he has adapted a few of her&amp;nbsp;songs for a re-release of her &quot;B&#39;Day&quot; album.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Spanish version of her current Red Hot 100 chart topping &quot;Irreplaceable&quot; has propelled the tune to No. 13 on Billboard&#39;s latest Hot Latin chart&#39;s. He recently talked with Billboard about taking that challenge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IT WOULD SEEM THAT&amp;nbsp;&quot;IRREPLACEABLE&quot; BECOME &quot;IMPRESCINDIBLE?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have it all written out in phonetics. We read the lyrics together, and I tell her exactly what she&#39;s saying. Even if you don&#39;t explain it, she&#39;ll ask you because she&#39;s very meticulous. So she knows that if the phrase is largate, it means &quot;get the hell out of my face.&quot; She says it with that same emotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I worked hard in trying to find the least amount of troubling words. For example, &quot;to the left.&quot; How the hell do you say &quot;to the left&quot; in Spanish? A la izquierda, a la izquierda? That doesn&#39;t fit the music. It&#39;s an awkward word, and it didn&#39;t make sense. So I wrote, &quot;Ya lo ves, ya lo ves.&quot; It&#39;s not exactly the same as the English, but it has the emotion and it has the concept of the whole English lyric, but perfectly done in Spanish where a Latin person from Argentina or Costa Rica can understand the story and identify with it. And yet I took some risk. Imprescindible, sustituirse . . . these are hard words, but she pulled it off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m a singer myself. I&#39;ll sit there and sing it to her and give her a bunch of little tricks. Like, &quot;Don&#39;t think of it as four words separated. Think of this as one word up to here.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DID YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE ROLLING R&#39;S WITH BEYONCE?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did this exercise with her, &quot;Erre con erre cigarro, erre con erre barril, rapido corren los carros.&quot; She&#39;d be laughing, and I&#39;m like, &quot;Beyonce, trust me, do this.&quot; She stands there literally sometimes six hours nonstop in front of the microphone trying to get this right. That&#39;s why she&#39;s a superstar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HAVE YOU EVER MET AN ARTIST THAT YOU THINK JUST ISN&#39;T&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
QUALIFIED TO MAKE THE CROSSOVER?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I still haven&#39;t gotten somebody that I say, &quot;This guy just can&#39;t sing in Spanish.&quot; (The key is) getting the superstar to take the time and not come in and say, &quot;I&#39;m only going to give you 15 minutes.&quot; Well, you know what? You can&#39;t do it like that. You&#39;ve got to take the time. And Beyonce gave me all the time.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5581502670249367273/posts/default/8918812046509139569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5581502670249367273/posts/default/8918812046509139569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dwlearnanewlanguage.blogspot.com/2011/05/behind-scenes-with-beyonces-new-spanish.html' title='Behind the scene&#39;s with Beyonce&#39;s New Spanish hit'/><author><name>Darren Lee Wright</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14528849424851017156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuUL_nGk_C-iOCr0bB0IZrdepFBC-b5MOuFDbScSoXNPJ9-e6nbM6kLLLWxpsueIPeZagb46QkTH7iBneoCUbzMV0azD6ZtOm6dGaBTKFY7MoysX78hGfWc-YGG4vPQ/s220/darrenleewright1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581502670249367273.post-5565250937393314278</id><published>2011-05-05T10:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-05T10:02:05.468-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="language"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="language spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="languages"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learn how speak spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learn spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learn to speak spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mariah carey spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spanish language"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="where to learn spanish language"/><title type='text'>Mariah Carey in Spanish</title><content type='html'>This is a little off putting because the video wasn’t redone for the Spanish version on the close ups you can see she’s not singing the words you’re hearing.&lt;br /&gt;

My opinion is, that if you’re going to do a song for a different language, do a video to match it, don’t just use the one that’s already done. I still put this up just because it’s Mariah Carey.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
#2 - Italian is Cool&lt;br /&gt;

There is a whole aura around the Italian experience that instantly transforms people to a very positive self-image. Since it is a very unique experience, many people know that speaking Italian in itself makes them a very physically attractive person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#3 - Italian is Romantic&lt;br /&gt;

#6 - Love of Italian Food&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am told that there are more words for food in Italian than in any other language. I do not know if that is true, but nobody can deny the fact that Italian is the most popular cuisine in the world. Ordering food in Italian or at least pronouncing the food properly is a lot of fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#7 - Love Italians&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Italians are very warm people. Anywhere that I have met them, they have always been warm, generous and affectionate. Anyone can see why you would want to learn Italian to talk more with Italians. I have spent time in many Italian homes (in Italy and the U.S.) and I have remembered these times throughout my life. Luckily, at the time I spoke Italian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#8 - Romance of Italian culture&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Italian history, Italian architecture, and the overall Italian experience that is part of everyday life all over the world, is fantastic. Many people have told me that experiencing this through the language gives them a better understanding of the people. If you have ever wanted to watch an Italian movie without the subtitles, you might be in this category.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#9 - Native Speaker&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Italians live now in English speaking countries. These people have great stories to tell. I have listened to hours and hours of these interesting people and their stories. What better way to listen to their stories than in their native Italian Language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#10 - Learned Some Italian in School&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lot of people learned how to speak Italian in school at some point and wish now to spend time to brush up their Italian language skills. They had enjoyed Italian so much after studying it that they have now returned to improving the skills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can relate to many of the above reasons. Although there are probably more reasons, these are the most popular that I have heard. If you choose to Speak Italian, check out the link below for a great course to learn Italian. I recommend it highly. Ciao.&lt;br /&gt;

It is the one factor that differentiates the complacent from the ones who keep striving for more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Language is one of the skills which not only broadens the horizon of an individual but uncovers new avenues for one&#39;s social and professional well being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an era where the whole world is becoming a global village it is all the more important that one gets to learn as many languages as possible to become an effective member of this community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the biggest hindrances that people face in their professional as well as personal lives is their non familiarity with a particular language. This becomes a barrier to a number of factors as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Settling down in a new place &lt;br /&gt;b) Getting along with people &lt;br /&gt;c) Finding new opportunities in professional lives &lt;br /&gt;d) Grasping new ideas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us analyze all of the above one by one in brief details:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Settling down in a new place:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learning a new language helps one being accepted in another society. It is human nature that they are more comfortable with someone speaking to them in their own language rather than struggling to communicate otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) Getting along with people:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As stated above, the concept of global village is fast leading to the elimination of the geographical limitations. One comes across people from various backgrounds and origins in their professional as well as personal lives. However the success rate of the ones who have command over more languages is far more than the ones who have limitations in this area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c) Finding new opportunities in professional lives&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In times of unlimited opportunities across the world, one needs to acquire the basic language skills to benefit from them. If we look around the globe, we may come across a lot of successful professionals, who have gained the edge on the basis of their multi lingual skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d) Grasping new ideas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the professional element to it, a new language helps one to learn new ideas and concepts through mere reading and interacting with people from various back grounds and origins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trends across the World:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the clear evidence of the significance of the subject is the revolutionary trends in a super power like China. A country which used to take pride in its culture and language is fast adapting to the needs of the changing dynamics of this new global village. If one gets an opportunity to visit modern China, the English speaking ability of the younger generation is commendable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new concept of foreign language schools among the third world countries in particular, is a clear depiction of their desire to excel &amp; grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all of the above stated facts in mind, it is very obvious that learning a new language is not just a simple addition to one&#39;s knowledge but a dire need to keep up with the pace of the fast changing trends of this world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haisham Saeed&lt;br /&gt;Language consultant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danish Language Course &lt;br /&gt;French Language Resources&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Haisham_Saeed</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5581502670249367273/posts/default/9078959892212695629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5581502670249367273/posts/default/9078959892212695629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dwlearnanewlanguage.blogspot.com/2010/01/importance-of-learning-new-language.html' title='The Importance of Learning a New Language'/><author><name>Darren Lee Wright</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14528849424851017156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuUL_nGk_C-iOCr0bB0IZrdepFBC-b5MOuFDbScSoXNPJ9-e6nbM6kLLLWxpsueIPeZagb46QkTH7iBneoCUbzMV0azD6ZtOm6dGaBTKFY7MoysX78hGfWc-YGG4vPQ/s220/darrenleewright1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581502670249367273.post-614229835974677646</id><published>2010-01-19T08:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-05-04T00:30:27.895-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="A Really Fun Way Of Learning New Languages"/><title type='text'>A Really Fun Way Of Learning New Languages</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id=&quot;body&quot;&gt;After studying around 30 minutes French or German I start to get tedious and anxious. It has always been like this, and not just for languages, but for almost everything: math, chemistry, programming, etc. About a year ago, I found a really good way of studying languages, which never got me tired or anxious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve always been a computer geek and always loved to play computer video games. Someday, when I started wondering about things (usually this happens in bathroom...), I started questioning myself how did I learned English (I&#39;m from Mexico, so my first language is Spanish). A good percentage of my English was learned at school, but what I discovered was that most of my English came from video games, especially RPG&#39;s (Role Playing Game). Then, a marvelous idea came to my mind: why not do the same with French and/or German? Immediately I began my search for some games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a good research, I remembered I had a game called The Secret of Monkey Island, the CD version, which came in several languages. I began playing it in Italian (I didn&#39;t know any Italian, 0%, nada), and after around 30 minutes, I noticed I started to understand a lot of words. After beating the game in 2 days, I was able to talk some Italian (just some... I wouldn&#39;t survive in Italy... or maybe I would, but just because the Spanish is like a brother to the Italian). Then, I decided to start the game again (damn, I love that game), and during this second time I was able to understand around 70% of what the characters were saying. And after beating it the second time, I started it in German. Well, I guess you got the point by now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important thing about this technique isn&#39;t how fast I started to get a catch about the words, grammar, etc., but how long I lasted playing the game! When I study French the classical way, I only last about 30 minutes without a headache... when I study French playing a video game, I only last... well, I&#39;d last until I gotta go to college.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you believe you can stand against studying languages the classical way, do it! You&#39;ll learn in a better quality way. But if you are struggling because of all those headaches, I recommend to try this out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#39;t have a video game to start studying? Well, you can download The Secret of Monkey Island. This game is so old they made it abandonware (it&#39;s free). Or you can buy a video game which comes in several languages.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div sizcache=&quot;1&quot; sizset=&quot;76&quot;&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; sizcache=&quot;1&quot; sizset=&quot;76&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody sizcache=&quot;1&quot; sizset=&quot;76&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div sizcache=&quot;1&quot; sizset=&quot;76&quot;&gt;I and some other people are working towards making a language learning community, where anyone can come by and start practicing new languages for free and/or help others learn.

Given the passion for Italian opera, food, fashion, art, and history, these courses make our immersion to the well-celebrated Italian culture complete. Whether it is for education, business, work, or traveling pleasure purposes, these language courses simply give you the perfect opportunity to hone a new skill, which is certainly a smart personal investment. While there are a plethora of how to learn Italian language courses in the market today, here is a feature of the top 4 programs that offers to teach you naturally and confidently speak Italian in 6 to 90 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Top 4 Courses&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lingo Basic Italian, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone Italian, and Rocket Italian are listed as the most reliable language learning programs that offer more practical learning alternatives. They simply cover anything and everything you need to know to become part of a living and breathing Italian community. Unlike conventional language classes, these programs allow you to take lessons at the comfort of your home and during your most convenient time. Their computer-based teaching programs provide learning tools that makes your learning experience engaging and fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lingo Basic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lingo Basic Italian is designed as a compiled language course that is suited for beginners. It provides lessons in learning basic Italian, such as numbers, adjectives, days of the week and nature. In 30 days, this program promises to achieve Italian proficiency or your money back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pimsleur&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pimsleur courses are based on Dr. Pimsleur&#39;s 20 years of experience in effective language teaching. It basically aims to help people learn Italian language have an experience that is pretty much like learning your first language. Its effectiveness has won the approval of the FBI CIA and business professionals because of its highly scientific approach to Italian Language courses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosetta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosetta Stone Italian has the ability to simplify language learning by using computer based teaching and learning tools. It simplifies language teaching by eliminating the need to memorize a long list of vocabulary words. Instead, it uses word associations, which it believes is better in increasing retention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocket&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocket Italian Premium has been translated into rapid, effective, and easy to learn Italian language course. What&#39;s great about this course is that it makes the learning experience more integrative and intuitive, which keeps the user wanting for more instead of getting bored. That definitely is a fresh change to any learning experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comparisons&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of the four given courses, Lingo Basic and Rocket Italian are more preferred for its value, effectiveness, and practicality. Pimsleur offers language courses that usually demands more time for you to fully grasp the language. The Rosetta Stone program works great. However, its language courses are basically divided into 3 levels, which means you have to buy all three packages. This makes it rather more expensive than the three other programs. Lingo Basic is perfect for beginners as it takes a slow pace with basic and fundamental topics. It puts emphasis on pronunciation. Just like Rocket Italian, it comes with audio CDs that you can use at home, in your office or in your car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While all 4 language learning courses provide great alternatives to traditional Italian language courses, only Rocket Italian and Lingo Basic learn Italian language offer cheaper yet interactive and fun language learning programs. This is certainly an exception to the understanding that &quot;you get what you pay for&quot;. Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur are both great, they are just not cut out for those who wanted to learn Italian language fast under a tight budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miriam Price has had a vast amount of knowledge and experience in different languages and programs.

Did you ever try to learn a language by going to classes, buying courses, programs, software etc but still got nowhere? Well you&#39;re not alone! Learning a new language can be extremely hard but I would like to let you in on a little secret. With the right system learning a new language can be totally effortless!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a fact that learning language is totally natural for the human brain. It is one of our most basic functions and indeed if you look around you will see that everyone can speak, read and write. From the time we are born we naturally begin learning to communicate through language and it takes children no effort at all. If this is true and our brains are actually wired up to make learning languages natural and easy then why is it so hard for adults to learn a new language? Is it because nearly all language learning systems, programs, teachers and software fail to make use of our natural tendencies? Is it because nearly all language systems are backwards and actually work against our natural tendencies?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well from my experience the answer is YES! It is not that the adult&#39;s brain is too old to learn a new language but that the teachers out there are making the task far more difficult than it needs to be. Well now there is a system that makes learning a new language easy, fun and extremely fast. With this new system you basically sit back for 10 minutes a day listening to a set of specially designed sound tracks and within months you can understand and speak in an entirely new language. The sound tracks use the very latest in accelerated learning technology which makes use of the natural tendencies of the human brain. All the confusing stuff that other courses try to fill you with is a complete waste of time. Our system cuts through all the hindrances and gets you understanding and actually being able to converse in a fraction of the time and with almost no effort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did you know that one of the biggest hindrances to learning a new language is trying? When you try to learn, you put in effort and your brain becomes tense. Your brainwaves go into the high beta band where very little can go into long term memory. In this state you are stuck in short term memory and it takes a huge amount of repetition and effort to get anything to &quot;sink in&quot;. Kids are very often in a lower theta band of brainwaves where their brain is very relaxed and what they are exposed to goes straight into long term memory! This is why learning is effortless and natural for them. With our technology you are automatically induced into a low theta brainwave state where what you learn &quot;sinks in&quot;. No need to hear it 100 times, you will remember it after once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our soundtracks don&#39;t just use brainwave technology but also make use of the natural tendencies of your brain to make learning totally natural, effortless and easy. It really is amazing how easy learning a new language can be. Our brains truly are wired up to be natural linguists, all we need to do is stop trying to force them to do things unnaturally and to use their natural tendencies. Then learning is a breeze!&lt;br /&gt;

If you follow these &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;six tips, you can be sure that you will &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;learn to speak Spanish online much easier.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Key Numero Uno to Learn Spanish Online:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Stay motivated&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I think everyone that studies &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;a foreign language will experience &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;a time when they are becoming less and less &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;motivated. You may feel that you are &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;losing your desire to learn Spanish online &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;around the same time that you have reached a plateau.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If you feel that you are losing your desire &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;to learn to speak Spanish online, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;try planning a trip to a Spanish speaking country. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Since you will want to get the most out of &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;your trip, this should motivate you to study.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s another tip to help you stay motivated and &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;to make you want to learn to speak Spanish online. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Find a native speaker that you are romantically interested &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;in. Since you will probably want to impress him or &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;her with your Spanish, this should motivate you &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;to keep studying and make you want to learn Spanish &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;online. You will also notice that you &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;are making progress quicker by practicing your &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Spanish with a native speaker and that should also &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;motivate you to keep studying and practicing Spanish.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Of course, this tip only applies to single people &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;or other people without a significant other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Key Numero Dos to Learn to speak Spanish Online: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Don&#39;t Be Afraid of Making Mistakes&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Make lots of mistakes. And then after you have made &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;lots of mistakes go make some more mistakes. And then &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;go make some more mistakes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Many people are afraid of making mistakes &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;when learning Spanish online. If you really &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;want to learn to speak Spanish online, then you &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;have to accept the fact that making &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;mistakes is part of the learning process. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The more mistakes you make, the quicker &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;you learn to speak Spanish online.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If you are not making mistakes, that&#39;s probably &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;an indication that you are not making &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;the effort to learn Spanish online.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Some people will try to learn to speak Spanish &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;online by ONLY listening. Their reasoning is &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;that once they learn enough Spanish that&#39;s &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;when they will begin trying to speak Spanish online. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;But I can I assure you that it doesn&#39;t work that way. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;It works in reverse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;That is, once you start trying to speak Spanish &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;and making mistakes that&#39;s when you will begin to &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;learn to speak Spanish online. Not the other way around.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So go ahead and make mistakes. The mistakes &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;aren&#39;t there to embarrass you. The mistakes &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;are there to help you master Spanish.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Key Numero Tres to Learn Spanish Online:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Focus on how to speak Spanish&quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t focus on &quot;why Spanish is Spoken &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;the way it is&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Many people have sent me emails with questions &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;such as why is it &quot;me gusta&quot; (I like) instead &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;of &quot;me gusto&quot; or why is it &quot;me toma&quot; instead &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;of &quot;me tomo&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Of course, I could easily answer these questions. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;(And I do) But the objective is not to try equate everything &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;in Spanish with English or your native language.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Accept the fact that Spanish grammar is different &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;from English grammar. And focus on the objective &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;of any language -- which is to communicate effectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;And in order to communicate effectively, you only &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;need to understand and be understood. It is not &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;necessary that you understand each and every &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;grammatical facet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Trying to do so will only hinder your learning and make &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;it difficult to learn Spanish online. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Imagine trying to teach a 4 yr old the definition &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;of a direct pronoun vs. an indirect pronoun. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;We would never attempt such a thing. But the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;4yr old child is still fluent in his or her &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;native language.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So make your goal to understand and be understood. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Focus on &quot;how to speak Spanish&quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t focus on &quot;why Spanish is Spoken &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;the way it is.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Key Numero Cuatro to Learn to Speak Spanish Online:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Master the Fundamentals&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Many people spend their time learning &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;a bunch of Spanish vocabulary that they could &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;go a life time and never use. That&#39;s &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;because the words are hardly used &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;in normal everyday conversation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If you want to learn to speak Spanish online without &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Wasting anytime, I advise you to master &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;the fundamentals. When I say the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;fundamentals&quot; I am referring to &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;the basic vocabulary and basic grammar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I know adults that have studied Spanish &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;for a few years and they know thousands &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;of words in Spanish. Although they may &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;be proficient in Spanish, I would not &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;consider them fluent. On the other hand, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;a three or four year old native Spanish-speaking &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;child can speak Spanish fluently. It is not &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;because the child knows thousand of words in Spanish. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The child may only know about a thousand words &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;or less in Spanish. But the child has mastered the fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Mastery of the fundamentals is what separates &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;the proficient from the fluent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If you really want to learn to speak Spanish online &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;make it a priority to master the fundamentals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Key Numero Cinco to Learn Spanish Online:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Take Advantage of downtime&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Finding time to study can be a challenge. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Many people just don&#39;t have the time &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;to sit down and study. But who said that &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;you have to be sitting down? If you are &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;waiting in line at the bank or waiting at the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;doctor&#39;s office, turn on your mp3 player &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;or ipod and listen to an audio Spanish lesson.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If you drive to work everyday, that&#39;s &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;an excellent opportunity to practice your favorite &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;audio Spanish course. If you like to jog or &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;exercise on a stairmaster or treadmill, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;bring your mp3 player or ipod with you &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;and listen to your favorite audio Spanish course&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Instead of watching the 10&#39; clock News. Watch &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Las Noticias&quot; Instead of watching a movie &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;on HBO, watch a movie on HBO Latino.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So to those that say &quot;I just &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;don&#39;t have the time to learn Spanish online.&quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;My response is that you can make excuses &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;or you can learn to speak Spanish online. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;But you can&#39;t do both. The choice &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;is yours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Key Numero Seis to Learn to speak Spanish Online:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Become an Imitator&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Some Spanish courses do not put much emphasis &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;on pronunciation. I think that is a big mistake.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If you really want to be understood, you must try &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;to mimic native speakers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Have you every experienced someone that &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;asked you for directions or some other question &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;and you were unable to assist the person because you didn&#39;t &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;speak her language. And then you suddenly &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;realized that the person was actually speaking &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;English but her accent was so thick that you &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;thought the person was speaking another language.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The same thing happens to Spanish ears. If &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;you do not develop good pronunciation, you will &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;not be understand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;If you say the word &quot;dad&quot; in Spanish and you do &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;not stress the appropriate syllable, a &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;native Spanish speaker may think that you are &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;talking about &quot;french fries.&quot; To English ears &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;the difference may be very subtle. But to the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Latin American its the difference between &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;dad&quot; and &quot;potatoes&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So focus on mimicking native Spanish speakers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I hope that you enjoyed these 6 Tips to Help You &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Learn Spanish Online and that they truly help &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;you in your journey to learn to speak Spanish online.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Patrick Jackson&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5581502670249367273/posts/default/3036378714196306891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5581502670249367273/posts/default/3036378714196306891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dwlearnanewlanguage.blogspot.com/2010/01/six-keys-to-help-you-learn-spanish.html' title='Six Keys to Help You Learn Spanish Online'/><author><name>Darren Lee Wright</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14528849424851017156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuUL_nGk_C-iOCr0bB0IZrdepFBC-b5MOuFDbScSoXNPJ9-e6nbM6kLLLWxpsueIPeZagb46QkTH7iBneoCUbzMV0azD6ZtOm6dGaBTKFY7MoysX78hGfWc-YGG4vPQ/s220/darrenleewright1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581502670249367273.post-2611423997353093891</id><published>2008-12-22T00:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-05-04T20:28:35.245-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="language"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="languages"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learn how to speak spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learn language"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learn languages"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learn spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="learning spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="rocket spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spain"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spanish language"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="speak spanish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="speaking spanish"/><title type='text'>Learn Spanish | Learn To Speak Spanish | Rocket Spanish</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
