Guest post by Bliss at blissbloggin.blogspot.com I had one Spanish class in third grade because I was a Texas kid. In my 20s I went to Mexico with two other women, we spent a couple of weeks playing around with an old Spanish textbook we found. When my husband and I sailed to Mexico in [...]

Spanish Past Tense Verbs

Wayne — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:00:44 +0000

After a few days of not studying, I’m finding it easy to get back to where I left off. I went to the previous lesson of my Learning Spanish Like Crazy and have gone over my current lesson a couple of times, which is working on the past tense. A little confusing but not too [...]

Even if you don’t swear or use bad words in English, you know what they are. You learned what they were at some point in your life, even if the only reason was to avoid them. The same principle can be used while learning Spanish. I don’t swear a lot in English, right now. There [...]

Learning Spanish – How I Did It

John — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 08:17:26 +0000

Guest Post by John at mexicowoods.com By the time I was three years old, I could speak English better than I now speak Spanish—after six years of study and five of living in Mexico full-time.

Guest post by Brenda at Brenda and Roy Going To Mexico When we first came to Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico it was supposed to be for only six months to get away from the cold Alberta, Canada winter. I tried to learn some common words that I thought that we would need to survive. I just [...]

Learning Spanish Products for Kids

Wayne — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:07:05 +0000

I don’t know about everyone else, but after listening to the same lesson over and over and over, I get a little bored. I was thinking I could find something different without spending a lot of money on an entirely different course, but still get some learning done. Kid’s lessons or songs came to mind. [...]

Learning Spanish Like Crazy End of Level 1

Wayne — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 23:59:03 +0000

I still like Learning Spanish Like Crazy. I’m kind of done with level 1. Kind of, meaning I need to go back and listen a few more times to the last five lessons to get more comfortable and quicker with my responses. Every lesson has the same format a conversation at the beginning, then smaller [...]
