Oscar has posted on another thread and I suggested he open a new one. So here you - this was his comments from another thread!

Lets expand this!

I am - Yo soy

you are - tu eres

he\she - el \ella es

we are - nosotros somos

they are - ellos son

I want - yo quiero

you want - tu quieres

he\she wants - el\ella quiere

we want - nosotros queremos

they want - ellos quieren

etc, etc see where verbs come in very handy!

if you try to learn at least 3 verbs a day which is easy, you will get a good repertoire of words in no time.

verbs that we use in our daily life , want, eat, drink, walk, sleep, need, talk, buy, see to start with

I can send you basic verbs conjugated with Spanish equivalents to start you up

add me as a friend and we can chat off this page

Here is his next post.....

Thanks everyone! I know for a fact many people spend an lots of time just browsing on the net for silly tuff, videos etc, use the phone for a productive output for yourself, grab one of those spanish for dummies or othebooks and spend time learning while on the beach. it will make you feel better and as many stated, people will be happy to hear you try speaking their language.

I know i sound your Dad hahahahah just kidding

i used to tell this to my wife, use the phone in productive ways for you nost just waste time, it worked for me and her lol

Have an awesome friday and God bless you all!

This is a great idea for a thread! I'm always looking to improve my Spanish. Past tenses are the thing that give me the most problems for some reason so if you have any tips/hints on how to get those down, I would appreciate it. :-)

I have issues with past and future tenses as well. I make myself crazy with this.

Yes, I tend to just say everything in present tense and hope I'm understood! LOL

And, for some reason, "le" and "lo" give me issues. I have no idea why

My wife and I took in person lessons in Sosua for a couple of months. While we’re back in the states we’re using the Duoling app. The strong parts of Duo are ease of use and easily mapped progression. I’m just now getting into some past tense now. The bad part is you don’t have any real conversations.

We are looking to return to in-person for that when we return.
