			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this article we aim to provide you with an easy to follow guide on the basics of the Spanish language, concentrating on the differences between Spanish and English sentence structure.</p>
<p>Sentence Structure</p>
<p>If you want to understand basic Spanish you need to know that the main difference between English and Spanish is in the way that sentences are constructed. Firstly let us look at a typical Spanish sentence.<br />
Me gusta el vino espa?ol.<br />
This sentence means;<br />
I like Spanish wine.<br />
Did you notice that in the English version wine comes after Spanish, but in the Spanish sentence vino comes before espa?ol? This is because in the Spanish language the adjective (an adjective is word than is used to describe something,in this case we have used espa?ol, which means Spanish), always comes after the noun (a noun is basically another name for a thing, in this case vino meaning wine).<br />
So if I wanted to say, I like white wine, in Spanish I would say Me gusta vino blanco. Blanco means white in Spanish.<br />
The rule applies whether we are referring to a drink or a person.<br />
The English sentence A Spanish man.<br />
Would translate in Spanish to Un se?or espa?ol</p>
<p>Have you noticed another difference between the English and Spanish sentences? In the example we have used we can see that espa?ol starts with a lower case, or small e, but in English when saying Spanish we use a capital S, this is because any reference to a country in English should have a capital letter at the start of the word, but in Spanish you would only use a capital letter when using the countries name directly.<br />
If we say Soy de Espa?a<br />
This translates as,<br />
 I am of Spain<br />
Because we used Espa?a which is the name on the country it gets a capital letter. Therefore if I say;<br />
Soy amricano(I am an American man). In Spanish we have a small a, as opposed to;<br />
Soy de Amrica(I am of America). Because we use the word for America (which is called a proper noun) we use an A.</p>
<p><span id="more-1599"></span><br />
How To Recognize Questions</p>
<p>In English we can change a statement to a question by adding the word DO and a question mark (?). As an example the statement you have a pencil could be something I say as I hand over a pencil or merely a statement of fact. But if I say do you have a pencil?, then there is no doubt that I am asking a question.</p>
<p>There is no word for DO in Spanish so we have to have another of way of knowing that the sentence we have just started is a question. To do this the Spanish language uses two question marks ?, the inverted one at the start of the sentence and the standard one at the end. Therefore:<br />
Tiene un lapiz, (tiene can mean you have and lapiz is pencil)<br />
This statement becomes a question when we add  and ?.<br />
Tiene un lapiz? so if you see the question mark at the start of a sentence you know that you have to alter the tone of your voice to make it questioning.</p>
<p>We hope that these few tips might make understanding basic Spanish that little bit easier for you, and hopefully got you excited about learning more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After centuries of being an agriculturally based economy, the more rural parts of Scotland are having to come to terms with huge changes in the global economy. Many estates and castles that dominate them, traditionally were supported by a mixture of agriculture, forestry, sporting rights and a huge annual grant from the European Union. All these sources of income have come under attack and in some cases have disappeared. Agriculture is extremely volatile and does not produce the income it did, forestry is depressed, grants are being phased out and there is a glut of shooting and fishing available. This has all hit the rural economy over the last decade or so.</p>
<p>Combine this with a huge increase in equipment costs and maintaining old buildings, along with a certain amount of wear &amp; tear that our harsh climate produces and you have a challenging situation facing the owners of Scotlands old ancestral homes. Unless they have other income streams independent of the estate, they are facing a grim future. Many owners do indeed now work in other industries and channel those resources into maintaining their properties. Most do a combination of traditional farming and sporting activities, combined now with private lets and other commercial activities. These could include offering castles for rent, marketing the property as a venue for film shoots, weddings, concerts and corporate events.</p>
<p>Fortunately many are located close to wonderful golf courses, so make perfect venues for golfing parties, whilst others allow easy access from major cities so can welcome corporate groups to dine or to hold special events. More rural properties tend to specialise more in the sporting market, although Ackergill Tower, which is located near Wick, is the premier country house operation in Britain and you dont get much more rural that Caithness. They manage this by offering amazing service, huge amounts of Highland charm and wonderful facilities. Other properties have followed their lead and many now enjoy high occupancy levels.</p>
<p>There are now properties available to suit all incomes and preferences and it has been the saving of many of our fine old homes. The improvements and re-investment that many have made over the last decade is astonishing and the market for private rentals is now very sophisticated, with many properties offering hotel level facilities (swimming pools, tennis courts, spa treatments, broadband internet access, fancy chefs and premier cru wines). The interiors of many have been totally refurbished and additional bathrooms, new kitchens, media rooms etc have been added.<br />
<span id="more-1596"></span><br />
It should be noted that ownership of many of these homes has changed hands over the last decade or so and many that were the old family homes of prominent Scottish families are now owned by admirers of Scotland from all over the world. It is their enthusiasm, energy and most importantly resources that have brought back many properties from the brink of ruin. They have also be sensible to look to the future and many realised early on that only by diversifying into new areas like private rentals and corporate events could they recoup some of their upkeep costs. Indeed many of the homes run at a deficit of around 100,000 a year and this is where new income sources come in handy for their survival.</p>
<p>Of course as Scotland prospers and there is more and more building going on, along with wind farms, electrical masts and other light industry and office developments, many estates have found yet more ways of bringing in much needed funds. However most still use a combination of all or some of the above and many now welcome guests to take over their homes for a family celebration or other event and to live like a laird, without the hassle of actual ownership!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- Are you looking for a rewarding career?</p>
<p>- Have you ever thought of becoming a teacher?</p>
<p>Turn your love of learning in to a love of teaching and experience the joy of helping students discover their potential.</p>
<p>Teaching today requires more than just caring about students and knowing one&#8217;s subject well. It is the job of an educator to know what motivates students, how to diagnose their strengths and weaknesses, and how to create and atmosphere in which students thrive. Being a teacher is a rewarding and demanding profession and it has the power to shape America&#8217;s future. If you want to change lives for the better, pursuing a teching career can be the right choice for you.</p>
<p>Teacher Responsibilities</p>
<p>Teachers help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as English, Science and mathematics. They take action using interactive debate or a practical approach to help children understand conceptual ideas, use problem-solving skills and build up critical thinking processes. Teachers will prepare students for the future by</p>
<p>To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Teachers prepare students for the future by having them interact with others in group settings. Teachers will prepare their students further by training them to understand new technology, and lean logical thinking. It is the ultimate responsibility of a teacher to provide the proper environment in which to teach and practice these skills.</p>
<p>Work Environment</p>
<p>Teachers often work more than 40 hours per week. There is a great deal of time spent outside of the classroom setting where teachers prepare the lessons for their students. Teachers do, however, only work 9-10 months out of the year. Teachers can find their working conditions to be frustrating at times. Students are sometimes disrespectful and unmotivated, leaving a teacher to cope with the strain of unmanageable behavior and students who exhibit unsatisfactory performance. Additional factors such as classroom overcrowding, and lack of school funding can make a teachers work environment even more stressful.</p>
<p>Education and Training</p>
<p>Every state requires teachers to be licensed by the state in which they work, and those requirements vary from state to state. All states do, however, require that all teachers hold at least a Bachelor&#8217;s degree and to have completed an approved teacher training program with an approved number of education credits, as well as supervised practice teaching. Many states require continuing education for teachers to maintain licensure. Teachers may also study further to become board certified which gives them higher status and pay in their position. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards offers this voluntary national certification. To become nationally accredited, skilled educators confirm their ability to teach by collecting a portfolio showing their effort in the classroom and by passing a written assessment and evaluation of their teaching knowledge.<br />
<span id="more-1593"></span><br />
Employment Outlook is Good for Teachers</p>
<p>Job Opportunities for teachers are excellent ? and will continue to be. There is currently a shortage of qualified teachers in many areas across the country, and there is expected to be a great deal of current educators retiring over the next 10 years. This will ensure many available opportunities for those wanted to earn their degree to become a teacher.</p>
<p>* According to the American Federation of Teachers, beginning teachers with a bachelor&#8217;s degree earned an average of $31,704 in the 2003?04 school year. The estimated average salary of all public elementary and secondary school teachers in the 2003?04 school year was $46,597.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The language for all aviators and air traffic control officers (ATCOs) who wish to operate internationally is English. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has produced a creditable and expansive manual, which details future English-language communication requirements for aircraft operators. Those requirements come into effect on 5 March 2008.</p>
<p>The ICAO document, which details the English-language proficiency requirements is, to all intents and purposes, a Statement of Requirement. Training providers Worldwide, and the aviation industry as a whole, therefore need to adapt to meet the demand and the challenge faced by all concerned. The requirement is to raise standards in aviation communications globally, commonly referred to as Aviation English. However, there needs to be greater understanding that the term &#8216;Aviation English&#8217; covers a considerably wider field of knowledge and expertise than many currently appreciate. The following is designed to provide some indication as to the degrees of enormity and complexity that the industry faces in contributing to, and in meeting the task of imposing safe English-language communication skills among aircraft operators World-wide.</p>
<p>Pilots and ATCOs are at the front line of aircraft operations. The extent of the training that these personnel have to endure to achieve full operational status is enormous. Training can extend to periods of up to 2 years in the case of pilots and tends to comprise one long, uninterrupted process. In the case of ATCOs, however, because of the different specialisations involved in that function and their varying degrees of complexity, training tends to be conducted in phases, as controllers&#8217; progress through their individual career paths and gain experience in the different specialisations open to them. In both cases, training is ongoing, not only because of the degree of knowledge required, due to ever-changing working locations, but also because of the continual updating of the equipment in use, ongoing revisions to the rules and regulations, and also frequent changes in the air traffic operating environment.</p>
<p>Following a rigorous selection process, whereby only very small percentages of individuals actually have the aptitude to be successful pilots or ATCOs, there begins a learning process that is extensive in respect of the degree of fundamental knowledge required by aircraft operators in a wide range of fields. In addition to the many practical skills required to perform their respective roles, pilots and ATCOs require extensive knowledge of the following: meteorology; physics; geography; navigation; maps and charts; theory of flight; mechanics; aircraft construction; airframes and engines; electrics, electronics and avionics; instrumentation; hydraulics; rules of the air; aviation rules and regulations, both in the air and on the ground; and air traffic control regulations. Aircraft operators are also required to have a precise and unambiguous knowledge and understanding of the following: a vast range of aviation-related definitions, some straight-forward, others quite complex; a wide range of very precise and unambiguous phraseology, to cover all routine and non-routine situations; a plethora of aviation-specific abbreviations; and a vast array of aviation-related vocabulary, which most native speakers of English seldom use in everyday life. In addition, all aircraft operators require an appreciation of medicine, biology, and human performance limitations. Furthermore, all concerned with aircraft operations are required to undergo daily briefings, both oral and written, and have to read and fully understand numerous daily and periodical publications: for example, Flight Information Publications, which provide essential information and warnings related to flight safety, and Notices to Airmen, which provide information concerning daily changes within the aviation environment. Comprehending these documents would prove a significant challenge to any aircraft operator who is not a native speaker of English. In addition to speaking and listening skills in English, therefore, reading comprehension is a skill that should also be given emphasis in any Aviation English training syllabus.<br />
<span id="more-1590"></span><br />
To become a successful pilot or ATCO, one requires a very high degree of a particular type of aptitude, coupled with a supreme mental agility of many different kinds. However, it is important to note that the aptitude required to be a successful pilot, is very different to that required to be an effective and competent ATCO. Nevertheless, both professions require individuals to have the ability to be extremely calm under pressure, to multi-task both mentally and physically, and to assimilate information quickly and effectively and to act upon it correctly and decisively. At the end of their rigorous and lengthy process of training, and when they have achieved full operational status, these individuals possess a wealth of knowledge and have well-honed and acute mental and physical skills. However, even fully-trained and experienced, pilots and ATCOs are continually operating at the extremes of effective human capability, whereby everyday, decisions they make as individuals can, in many cases, mean the difference between life and death for others. Therefore, at any stage within this ongoing process of professional development, to expect an aircraft operator to repeat the entire very demanding and complex training process in a second language, is a daunting prospect. Indeed, it is hard to assimilate the degree of difficulty involved, because, yet another factor comes into play: that of an individual&#8217;s degree of aptitude as a linguist.</p>
<p>When assessing the operational and international requirement within the aviation community for precise and accurate communications in English, both in the air and on the ground, there are several factors to be considered: the vast array of different communications and means of communication in use; the skills necessary to communicate effectively, by which ever means; and the difficulties faced by non-native speakers of English, who require to perfect those communication skills, with all their inherent complexities, in a second language. Those concerned face an extremely difficult and daunting task.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I watched your programme broadcast on 16th January on Channel 4. You expressed indignation that Christians and Jews should be allowed to teach their faith to their children. Does it ever occur to you that what you believe about the origin of life is equally a faith which is to be accepted without question by millions of children and adults who are taught it in the education system and the media?</p>
<p>Since none of us were there when life began everything we believe about it is an act of faith. You are reading back into time supposedly scientific conclusions, which are actually extremely questionable. I have never found a satisfactory explanation from evolutionists for some very basic questions about your theory.</p>
<p>1.	Where did the matter which exploded in the Big Bang come from?</p>
<p>2.	If the Big Bang is the explanation for the existence of the universe, how did an ordered world come into being out of something which would have generated disorder (an explosion)? Our observation of explosions (e.g. a bomb going off) shows that they cause matter to move from order to disorder, not disorder to order. How can you explain our marvellous planet which has all the hugely complex parameters necessary for life (distance from the sun, atmosphere, water cycle, soil, plants able to provide food etc) coming into being by a random process?</p>
<p>3.	Darwin himself had little to say about the origin of the first life form by the forces of natural selection. Since the discovery of DNA we now know that there are no simple life forms but every cell contains a huge amount of information. To believe that this could have come about by random forces is the equivalent of believing the information in the Encyclopaedia Britannica could have been put there in the same way. According to your belief not only did such incredibly complex matter have to arise by accident it also had to have the power to reproduce itself otherwise the arrival of life would have been no more than a very temporary blip on the evolutionary horizon. All reproductive systems are highly complex but vital to the survival of the species.</p>
<p>4.	Darwin acknowledged that &#8216;to suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection (evolution) seems absurd in the highest possible degree.&#8217; You are on record as saying that &#8216;it would only take about 364,000 generations to evolve a good fish eye with a lens.&#8217; This does not explain how a creature which needs sight to survive managed to carry on living for all these millions of years without eyes. Hugely complex organs like the eye, the heart, the brain etc are all vital to survival. Even more vital are the reproductive systems of creatures. All creatures that reproduce sexually require a perfectly functioning male and female to produce the next generation. How can such a system have developed over millions of years of trial and error as must be assumed by evolution? If the system is not functioning in the first generation the species dies out. The Genesis record that God made all creatures able to reproduce after their own kind makes much more sense on this issue than the conclusion of evolution.</p>
<p>5.	Darwin acknowledged the absence of transitional forms in the fossil record and in observable life forms. There is no problem in believing in variation within species (short beaked and long beaked finches etc). But there is absolutely no evidence of variation from one species to another taking place or in the fossil record. There are also huge problems with this theory. For example how did the first bird develop the power to fly? If wings evolved over millions of years during the time they were evolving they would have been an encumbrance not an advantage. What would stop cat eating bird before the bird developed its wings? In which case bird species dies out before it learns to fly!</p>
<p>No doubt you have answers to these questions which satisfy you, but they do not satisfy everyone. You are asking people to believe that something could come out of nothing, that an explosion could create an ordered universe, that incredibly complex life forms could arise spontaneously out of non life and have the ability to reproduce and develop higher life forms. I dont believe this! But you are allowed to teach this to our children and to ridicule those who dont believe your theory on TV without giving them a fair opportunity to give a reasoned defence of your faith. The Christians you chose to interview were either on the very wacky end of the US evangelical scene like the man who agreed with killing those who work in abortion clinics or liberals like the Bishop of Oxford who agrees more with you than with what the Bible teaches.<br />
On the subject of the Bible, your highly selective use of quotations to pillory the God of the Bible as a sadist ignored context and the overall teaching of the book. The significance of the Abraham and Isaac story is that Abraham did not sacrifice Isaac. Child sacrifice was common in the pagan religions of the tribes around Israel at the time and is consistently condemned in the Bible. In our time child sacrifice has again returned as we sacrifice unborn children to our gods of convenience and lust. There is a deeper message about faith in Genesis 22 which is beyond the scope of this letter. The incident of the man sending his daughter out to be raped by the mob in Judges 19 is hardly held up as a model of practice in the Bible! As the Bible is a realistic book it tells it like it is and does not gloss over gross acts. The period of the Judges is summed up in the last verse of the book Everyone did what was right in his own eyes  i.e. everyone did their own thing rather than doing what was right in the eyes of God  rather like today!</p>
<p>Finally your view that supposedly scientific developments and the influence of evolution have always exercised a benign influence on the human race does not stand up to examination. Nietzsche, a disciple of Darwinism, wrote in his diatribe against Christianity, The Antichrist, Pity on the whole thwarts the law of evolution, which is the law of selection. It preserves what is ripe for destruction; it defends lifes disinherited and condemned. The Nazis took hold of this idea to justify eliminating what they considered to be lifes disinherited and condemned in the Holocaust. On the other side of the same coin, the Soviet Communists used pamphlets like The part played by labour in the transition from ape to man written by Engels as the basis for their indoctrination of society with atheism and evolutionism. The end result was the gulags and the KGB and the persecution of non-believers in Soviet atheism (in particular believing Christians).<br />
<span id="more-1587"></span><br />
Not many people would agree that we are doing as marvellously in the moral sphere in our present society as you concluded in your programme. In fact we are on the brink of a collapse of the whole social and economic order as drug taking and alcoholism, sexual immorality, pornography and the breakdown of the family, violence and debt spiral out of control. We are fouling up the only planet we can live on and creating weapons of destruction which threaten the whole survival of humanity. All these things happening can be seen as the result of a rejection of God and the salvation offered us through the Lord Jesus Christ, not the result of following Him.<br />
It would be interesting if Channel 4 or the like would be willing to put on a real debate on these issues, with Christians who know what they are talking about. Yours sincerely, Tony Pearce.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Notary Publics first became prominent during the 1500s, at the height of the Roman Empire.  They were chosen either by the Pope, or the Archbishop of Canterbury to whom the Pope delegated authority.  During those years notaries were well versed in foreign languages, as well as the principles and practices of law.</p>
<p>On the other hand, becoming a notary public in the U.S., thereby serving as witness to the signing of documents and an administrator of oaths, does not require special training or experience.  It is a relatively easy position to secure, in most cases only requiring the candidate to pass a short test and undergo a background check.  With this in mind, the rights and privileges accorded to a notary public do not extend beyond the basic duties of an impartial witness.  More specifically, they are not permitted to give any form of legal counsel, prepare legal documents or otherwise practice law.</p>
<p>For those interested in becoming a licensed notary, there are three basic steps to follow:</p>
<p>First, fill out an application, providing your name, address and other contact info.  You will also answer questions regarding age, residency and any previous notary commissions held.  (Application procedures vary from state to state.  For more information regarding the application process, you can visit the National Notary Association website, http://www.nationalnotary.org.)   Second, applicants are next required to pay a fee to the commissioning authority.  Finally, applicants must take an oath of office, which may be incorporated into the application or filed with a county clerk.</p>
<p>There are other possible steps that may include taking an educational course, passing a test or obtaining a notary bond.  These requirements vary from state to state, therefore applicants are encouraged to consult their local official or contact the National Notary Association for more info.<span id="more-1584"></span></p>
<p>Many states offer notary public classes to help aspiring notaries gain their commission.  Pat Meyer, an instructor at a Northern California Notary instruction course has helped thousands of notaries or future notaries obtain or renew their notary commission.  The course offers same day classes and exams.  For more information about this service, log onto http://www.notaryclasses.net.</p>
<p>For those residing in the state of New York, log onto http://www.notarytrainer.com, where one can purchase a New York Notary Application Kit, which includes sample notary test questions, as well as the official New York Notary Laws and Procedures handbook.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most effective ways to learn Spanish is through what is known as immersion, where the language student not only spends a portion of their time in a classroom environment, but also lives within a Spanish speaking community for a period of time. Whether you visit Madrid or Mexico, living and breathing the Spanish culture and language will help you reach fluency faster.</p>
<p>Spanish immersion programs have been popular for many years for one simple reason  they work. And the logic behind this success is simple. Studying in the classroom necessarily lasts a couple of hours at most, for reasons as wide ranging as teacher availability to the duration of student concentration. Learning Spanish through an immersion program, however, takes learning out of the confines of the classroom and releases into the realm of real life.</p>
<p>Immersion language learning works as simply as it sounds  the student is immersed into a Spanish environment that does not cease to educate after an hour, as learning in the classroom does. Immersion learning works best, however, when combined with classroom sessions, as the Spanish-speaking environment affords the student an opportunity to practice what they have learned.<br />
<span id="more-1581"></span><br />
Learning Spanish is not a theoretical process, it is one that involves practical use of what is being learned. By being immersed in a Spanish-speaking community, the student cannot simply the leave the classroom behind, along with what they have learnt that day  the environment demands that their new knowledge be utilized every time they visit the store, or take a bus. It is practice that is the key to acquiring the comfort and familiarity with a language that leads to fluency, and by implementing Spanish immersion in a students training, this familiarity is quickly earned by speaking the language all the time.</p>
<p>An added benefit of most Spanish immersion programmes is that they involve the participation of a Spanish speaking family with whom the student resides. The friendly environment found in a family home is the perfect place to take those first, faltering language steps. Involvement in a family also gives the student a realistic flavor of Spanish culture, expanding the learning experience and bringing the language alive.</p>
<p>So learn to speak Spanish the best way  with real people, in the real world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The procedure of obtaining a bank credit can be quite intricate and  complicated and there&#8217;s no guarantee that you&#8217;ll acquire any cash.  Borrowing cash has developed into much easier procedure with <a href="http://1paydayloans.co.uk/" target="_blank">payday loans</a> offers.</p>
<p>The gist of faxless payday loan is void of any ambiguities. First,  search for instant payday loan offers in the Web. You will be astounded  at the number of opportunities, though, not all lenders present  qualitative servicing, so be choosy. Once the final choice of lender is  completed, familiarize with the application form. On-line request  embraces a few issues requiring standard personal info: surname,  address, contact information, electronic address and social security  number. The lender will need your checking account id and bank  requisites, together with your working place info and usually two  individual references. Recommendations (sign of successful work) and  location (the USA) are proofs of the lender&#8217;s legitimacy.</p>
<p>Irrespective of the amount of online lenders, not every can offer you <a href="https://www.greenstarcash.com/" target="_blank">cash advance</a>,  that&#8217;s why find out which creditor can supply you with the service just  in your state. Relying on your place location, lenders, that follow  state main payday loan regulations, will need extra auxiliary documents.</p>
<p>All the wonders begin when your application is approved; you get the  necessary money exactly to your checking account within one business  day. You&#8217;ll have to acknowledge the funding process with your creditor.  If you&#8217;re in need of a loan fast, online faxless payday loan can offer a  simple solution to your short-term monetary problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are tons of people who want to start speaking Spanish now. There&#8217;s one problem&#8230;They don&#8217;t know where to begin. If you fit in this group, you are probably planning on taking lessons &#8211; however, you may want to teach yourself how to speak Spanish without lessons!</p>
<p>In order to learn Spanish, you have to overcome your second language learning anxiety! This is an emotional problem that hampers the abilities of many potential Spanish speakers around the world! Becoming motivated and overcoming this can, in fact, be the first step for you to be a fluent Spanish speaker!</p>
<p>May Believe that The older You Get, the Harder to Learn a Language &#8211; There is a common belief that advancement in age may actually hamper the ability to learn Spanish. There is no doubt that you may have to adjust when learning a different language &#8211; however, Adults are actually more than capable of learning a language.</p>
<p>The reason why children are believed to be better at learning languages is the simple fact that they haven&#8217;t developed any mono-language habits. Their minds are open, so they are open to change. However, you can easily break these habits and learn the language you need to!</p>
<p>People do not believe they are capable &#8211; When people do something such as trying to learn Spanish, they have to envision themselves doing it, otherwise, they&#8217;ll be absolutely discouraged.<br />
<span id="more-1574"></span><br />
The simple fact is; most people simply do not believe that they are mentally capable of learning a second language. If people simply believe in themselves &#8211; they&#8217;ll be well on their way to learning how to speak fluent Spanish!</p>
<p>Watching Latino TV and listening to radio stations that speak Spanish is something that practically anybody can do. You do not need even the most basic of cable to receive the Spanish speaking stations &#8211; all you need is an antenna that can pick up television signals. When you do this, you will be giving yourself the opportunity to grow accustom to the style of the language. This includes the &#8220;speed&#8221;, &#8220;pronunciation&#8221;, and even certain phrases and sayings. You will begin to observe trends, etc.</p>
<p>When you perform one of these tasks, you may want to consider sitting down with a dictionary and trying to decipher some words that may come through the radio. When you observe that a specific word is spoken often, you may want to look that word up and translate it using your dictionary. You will be able to put sentences, paragraphs, and even full essays together by practicing on a daily basis. You may also want to combine this method with either a Spanish class, or a commercially available product that teaches you Spanish.</p>
<p>Self image is an extremely huge problem when it comes to trying to learn Spanish with many aspiring Spanish speakers. When you are trying to learn Spanish, you may want to consider trying a commercially available product in which you can perform at your own pace.<br />
You also want to try to motivate yourself, as the average person has tons of daily tasks to do. You will want to use your free-time to focus on building your self image. Also you want to keep in mind the Spanish is related to other languages as well!</p>
<p>If you quickly learn languages such as Spanish, you may have an easier time learning other languages such as Italian and French!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are three basic groups of Spanish verbs, in these articles we will look at the regular AR, ER and IR verbs.. In this part we will concentrate on regular ER and IR verbs in the present tense.</p>
<p>In Part 1,we learned that  a verb is a doing word that covers everything from an action to an opinion, so sing, drink, eat,, like, dislike, love, kick, fall, smile, hear, write turn, are all examples of verbs. In the English language the verb is not changed by who is doing the action. An example would be;<br />
I like cheese, we like cheese and you like cheese, the verb like stays the same. In Spanish the form of the verb is changed by who is doing the action.</p>
<p>In the first part we concentrated on regular verbs  ending in the letters a and r. The other two groups of regular verbs are the verbs that end in er and ir.</p>
<p><span id="more-1571"></span><br />
Verbs Ending In ER</p>
<p>One of the words meaning to repair in Spanish is rehacer, if we want to say  I repair cars in Spanish, we drop the e and r from the end of rehacer and add an o, to give rehaco los coches(los coches, is literally the cars). There is no need for the Spanish word for I (Yo) at the beginning of the sentence because by adding the er, we have changed the verb to referrer it to me.<br />
If we wanted to say you repair cars to one person, we would remove the er and add es.  giving us rehaces los coches, there is no need to use t (the Spanish for you) as the change to rehacer has already specified the subject of the sentence.<br />
When we are learning basic Spanish verbs and wanting to say that he or she repairs cars, we can use rehace los coches, just add an e to the shortened rehacer. This is also the proper way to use the verb when talking to someone youve never met before or in a formal situation.<br />
We repair cars can be said by the addition of emos to give us rehacemos los coches.<br />
Still with us on this one? Well if we wanted to say they repair cars, we would drop the er and add en, to form rehacen los coches.<br />
Lastly, if we are talking to a group when saying you repair cars we would remove the er and add is, as so  rehacis los coches</p>
<p>IR Verbs</p>
<p>Regular verbs ending in ir behave in the same way as regular er verbs in every case apart from one which we will get to, but let us look at the similarities first. The similarities are; for I (yo) drop the ir and add e, for you (t) drop ir and add es, for he/she/formal version of you (l, ella, usted) drop the ir and add e, and you when addressing more than person drop the ir for en.<br />
The exception to the rule that ir verbs are the same as er verbs can be seen if we use WE. I we use we climb mountains as an example, the Spanish for climb is subir , we climb mountains can be subimos las sierras, so here we have dropped the ir and replaced it with imos.</p>
<p>So thats how we learn basic Spanish verbs, I hope its been helpful, and also hope that this will be the start of of a larger appreciation of the Spanish language.</p>
