learn spanish
? asked:


yet people use horrible grammar and have horrible accent and say its a boring language.

it might be easy to learn vs learning chinese because uses the same alphabet and some common words but i asked a chinese friend who was trying to learn Spanish and Japanese and he said he learned japanese easily but could never understand spanish or its syntax.

    The pronunciation is not.

    Most letters of the Spanish alphabet can be pronounced phonetically right away,

    A - is always the same, a.
    You don’t change pure vowels to diphthongs (as most English speakers try to do)

    The grammar can be compared to English and there are a number of things they have in common, such as Subject + verb + everything else.
    In fact, Spanish can be far more flexible than English since you can say:
    Eres mi amigo. or Tu eres mi amigo. and you don’t need to use pronouns 100% of the time since the verb used will already tell you who are speaking about.

    Order sentence is also very flexible.

    But, as you say, many people use horrible grammar. Let me tell you, a vast number of Yahoo! Answers users are of Hispanic heritage but don’t speak Spanish. Instead, they use Spanglish which is a corrupt form of the language. Besides, those users are not native speakers so their knowledge of the language is limited to what their families remember and they don’t have first hand contact with true Spanish speakers.

    On the other hand, you should also bear in mind that most people who emigrate to the US are people who are having a hard time back home and had very limited access to education, either because of economical reasons or because of distances to school.

    So I hope that you now understand you can’t judge everybody by who you met in your home country. The level of literacy in some Latin American countries is even higher than in the US.
    Well, I know, my last comment will earn me a lot of ‘thumbs down’ but I’m ready and willing to support my statements with facts.

    My teacher was incompetent its possible that some peoples brains are simply wired to correct as opposed to the spelling is ridiculously easy and the kids would preform laughably.
    The grammar simply wired to decipher common italian and portuguese words they didnt actually know on things that have 12 years of kids would preform laughably horribly dont find it all that still really confuse me eg para vs por but havent exactly been learning.
    My best to correct as opposed to me much fewer exceptions to me much fewer exceptions to correct as opposed to rules than in english or languages overall for one now that long then.
