[quote name='paul, the' post='92258' date='Nov 21 2007, 06:45 PM']That's very cool. When/how did you learn the language?
Learning a new language would be one of my main reasons for moving.[/quote]
I learned the rules and grammar at UNI. But it´s like playing an instrument. You can learn all the theory, but people won´t notice until you can actually do something!! When I came here, it was like I´d landed on Mars. Many people come here and pick up the language quickly, but you have to be quite resilient. You have to be able to take rejection from some quarters. The stories that everybody will be delighted to help you are not really true, unless you´re old. If you like Spanish Movies ,try to watch a few with subtitles. You could pick up some useful phrases and Spanish pronunciation rules are really easy. What you write is what you say, not like in English.
