Recently, i have taken to relearning the lovely language of Spain (and Mexico, most of Latin America and huge chunks of the US), trying to pick up where i left off almost 5 years back. And it aint easy doing this by yourself.
I started with an e-book from the library, and what a pleasure it was to be able to know individual nouns and questions words and everything else they could possibly teach you in a 3 hour session.
Essentially-nothing much.
So while i could perhaps tell you the spanish for bread, butter and cheese, i still had little to no clue about sentences. most importantly, the verbs. Those teeny tiny words that bring action into your statement. Essentially, without the verb, you're nowhere.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
they sure are the toughest things to get in your head, especially when the teaching method is an english-to-spanish website for conjugating verbs.
After sufficient mugging up, i can now effectively say " i go, you go, she goes" and "i see, you see, he sees" but thats where it ends.
I am a sucker for perfection, and even though i am not even close to being in the vicinity of perfect, i have not given up yet.
Next on agenda: the past tense. Wish me la suerte. I sure need it!
