I have a small translator made by Berlitz. It's ENG>ESP ESP>ENG and it pronounces the words for you. It's a very useful tool when travelling as you don't have to kep scrabbling through a dictionary. However, it's better to spend a week just learning the Spanish alphabet...

Don't forget the stress at the start of these words or they'll easily be confused with similar words! Also this little set of words in my opinion are the hardest to understand in Southern Spain as they don't pronounce any 'S's' So Estos is Eto etc.

Many thanks, nicely explained! I'm slowly getting to grips with verbs after 2 years work! In English, a few tenses cover almost all scenarios however in Spanish there seems to be a particular tense or mood to cover almost every concievable situation. I find it extremely difficult to converse...

What is correct? Mi familia me amaba mucho o Mi familia me amaban muchas The top one looks correct and I have seen it written that way but I can't help think the bottom one is also, as a family is technically plural, 'they love me' so the verb to love is conjugated in that way, and...

I think it relates to milk sweets, you know similar to those little milk bottles you buy at the shop!

The key thing with Preterite and imperfect is that Preterite refers to an action done at a specific time as defined by the sentence, or something that refers to a situation. Imperfect is where there is no time frame specified or implied or where the action is being simply described and that it...

I think there's a difference between translating a name and whether the name even exists in other languages. Sure Peter is Pedro, Suzanne is Susana etc, but When I go to Spain, my friends call me by my actual name. OK there isn't a direct translation in my case, but it's important I...
