The thing that makes Italian easy for me is its similarities with Spanish ( for instance mi chiamo is easy to remember because it sounds like me llamo).

So what is the difference in Americans learing Spanish to sell to Mexicans and the rest of the world learning? English to sell to the US? People seem to think that someone is telling them they must learn Spanish to speak to the hispanic community, but when has anyone ever asked you to learn? Hey angry POD, I am speaking English. Not just selling to Mexico, but to spanish-speakers in the US. grooming, you can choose not to put things in Spanish, just dont sell you stuff, your choice. Alll dialects of Spanish understand one another well. Dont act like if you spoke Mexican Spanish, people from Cuba would not understand you, they would and do, ask my Cuban friend. Zoe, I am not Hispanic, I never claimed to be. My husband and I help Mexico by taking care of his parents, bring things to his aunts, uncles, friends. I take letters and packages to and from Mexico to let friends communicate with their families. In my house in Mexico, we house his Mom, Dad, Sister, Neice and Nephew. It's a pretty big place. We have a bathroom with shower, something that they didnt have before we made our house there. I sadly cannot say that I have helped all of Mexico, though I have donated to the Red Cross there for the victims of Hurricane Stan. I cant help how you percieve me, I am just stating my beliefs.

Is there anyone who was interested in learning Spanish until the illegal immigration became a big issue? What were your motivations at first, and why did you change? I would like to encourage you to keep your vision alive. Ignore those on both sides. Some hispanics feel the need to taunt others and say mean spirited things. Some radicals go beyond the issue and start calling hispanics racist names. Ignore them both. Sort through the mess and keep your dream alive. I was affected by all the hate going back and forth. Just like a cold can be caught, so can hate. Just let it go because better things lie in store for you. Spanish is beautiful, for it is a language of progression. It was not only spoken by Spain but by Africans then Arabs, centuries before it came across the Atlantic. No Latin group can claim direct ownership or a monopoly on the language. The Dominicans from the Dominican Republic are the only Latin group who can feel special because the Spaniards stayed there due it its gold and natural resources. Illegal immigration is not your issue, so let it go!

There is an interference of old information with this new type of information I am trying to acquire. I noticed this too when I decided to pick up Russian on the side. Verbally, that language is so easy for me to learn! Why is that? And what should I do? My mother is worried that Mandarin or Japanese will be too much for me to learn with my other studies because they are so different. I am worried that I will do poorly in Spanish and not retain the language, because the language is too similar to French. Has anyone else had this problem? Oh. it is not just learning the language it is pronunciation too. My Spanish sounds horrible.

What are the pros and cons of learning Spanish from Rosetta Stone? has anyone learned a language by using rosetta stone? Did it help you tremendously? Was it worth the money?
