I dont speeak japanese and read kanjis tough! I always get in trouble when it comes to making sentences lol) Getting a native speaking teacher is great because they can tell you if you're wrong with pronounciation or grammar but if you're self taught I'd still recommend the music, watching TV shows hummm reading may be difficult at first but a dictionary is always handy and will aid you a lot since spanish is a very.. standard language =P I'd recomment poetry for starters =D is easyer to understand and has a much wider... uh.. vocabulary =P</p> <p>Puedo ayudarte con lo que necesites (I can aid you with pretty much anything you need)</p> <p>EDIT: Just read you dont have access to cable TV so I'd recommend youtube =D you can always find things from spanish people there =P try changing your flag to "Spain" or anything that has to do with spanish =P if you can read spanish then you can look for latin/spanish music videos, there are plenty of artists and from many genres =P </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/your-countries-sayings/page/3#post-33318 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:22:15 +0000 Scott 33318@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The 'little baseball dude' is Mr. Met,<br /> <a href='http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/fan_forum/mrmet.jsp'>http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/fan_forum/mrmet.jsp</a><br /> <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Met'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Met</a></p> <p>All I can say is stick around, the avatars change but are always something I feel strongly about. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/your-countries-sayings/page/3#post-33301 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:37:36 +0000 Aleeve 33301@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>not trying to state the obvious or anything<br /> but scott, why did you change your pic again?<br /> i liked the little baseball dude, it added some character :)</p> <p>these flowers, *tchah* </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/your-countries-sayings/page/3#post-33194 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 05:52:42 +0000 techgranny 33194@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Now I understand what it is.
