Minor changes on Basic Spanish

Hello everybody! I have just made some small changes on the Basic Spanish document and rearranged the pages to have a more proper order.

• Nouns
• Adjectives
• Determiners
• Verbs (the present form)
• Spanish Sentence (components, matching, affirm., neg. and interrog. forms)
• Possession (saxon genitive)
• Conjunctions
• Adverbs
• Interrogative Pronouns
• Prepositions
• Reflexive and pronominal verbs
• Direct and Indirect Objects (and pronouns)...

Hope is clearer now, sorry to annoy you with so many changes. Looks like the document is ALIVEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

See you in class folks o_0

The tricky "to" preposition

I have just added a new page in the Basic Spanish doc, to try to explain the differences and similarities between the English preposition "to" and the Spanish preposition "a". Sometimes they are the same, sometimes they are not. It is important to understand the grammar of the sentence in one language before you translate it to another one. The word by word approach doesn't work that often :-(

Enjoy the wonderful sun we have today here in Puli :-)

Some new exercises available

Hi everybody,
I have added some easy exercises for beginners and plan to post more soon. You have some exams available too. Are they too difficult? You can try at home :-)

Have a nice rainy day o_0

Vocabulary file available

Hello everybody :-)

       I have just posted a new document with useful vocabulary. Yo can check it here or just go to the Resources page in this same blog. I intend to update it with more and more stuff.

      Remember that to be able to speak common Spanish you only need 2000 to 3000 words (actually this works for any language). That is our goal. When you master the basic grammar and those 2 to 3 thousand words you can say you speak Spanish.

So...how many do you already know?  o_0

Some minor changes

The Basic Spanish document has been updated. Nothing big but now you can see the difference of Affirmative, Negative and Interrogative forms (page 8). Takes about 2 minutes to understand it. You can try to practice at home with some of the sentences we have already written in class.

P.S. 1: I am aware of the problems some web browsers may have with the Google docs interface. That is why I included the old Basic Spanish document, made with the previous version of Google Docs. Please note that I am not going to update it too, but is still useful anyway.

P.S. 2: The best way to see the document is to download it as pdf before trying to print it. I do my best to keep the pdf version with a nice readable format.

Que la fuerza os acompañe :-p

New Grammar Videos Ready to Be Watched

You can check some of the new videos in the Grammar section. Useful to find out whether you understood or not the lecture material. You can play them again and again... may be not, I don't want you to have nightmares about Spanish.

Have a good Spanish experience!
