Do you speak Spanish?

How much Spanish do people already know already? I can write more than I can say, as I always forget when I'm rushed. I've been learning for about 5 years now I think, although I just teach myself at the moment so haven't been progressing loads.

Does Hola and que tal count?
Coz thats about all i can say

I've been learning for 4 years now, and I'm doing a Business course in Spanish next year, so I'll be continuing it that way. I am more confident with writing, but I like speaking too. To be honest, I'm worst at listening. And tomorrow I have my GCSE Spanish Readin test, so hopefully that goes well!

My brother knows spanish too, and he took it to AS. But neither of my parents speak it, so there's little chance I'll be going over there with them!

Well good luck with your exam tomorrow

Ah cool, good luck with your exam

LOL Kath, we'll teach you a bit

haha thanks
I can say some totally random stuff, but nothing of any use

Haha, like what? Go on...

Lol, thanks guys, you're so sweet!

It went quite well I think, so that's good.

I pretty sure it was because of the good luck you sent Lol

Yeah, go on Kath, we could all do with some of your expertise in this area

Glad it was good

What expertise?
I can only say it... typing is another thing all together

Literally just lol-ed Oooh...funky hair!

Yeeeah, yeah

What about funky hair?

Seriously... i dont know how to write it!

The <<thing. Funky hair...for a smiley anyway!

Lol, I suppose I have no choice but to believe you then! Have you even thought about learning Spanish, like, 'properly'?

haha

Honestly, i dont know how!
Yeah, well at my school you could only study Spanish for the two years of G.C.S.E and when i had to choose my subjects 1. i wasnt that in love with d'nash/spain/spanish and 2. i didnt want to learn a whole new language to do for G.C.S.E so i choose German.
If i go to a different school for sixth form... im gunna try and do a Spanish G.C.S.E along side it. (:
I did download a podcast to try and learn how to speak some of it... but it hasnt really worked

Lol, yeah, I tried listening to one of those free CDs in the paper which will teach you how to speak spanish...but it was terrible!

I took Spanish and French for 2 years, then Spanish GCSE for another 2 years. I hated French, and since starting the GCSE Spanish has really grown on me.

Your plan sounds awesome. I want to be fluent in Spanish (or another language), so then I can be bilingual...would be immense!

Yeah, French sucks

I would love to be bilingual! but im really not a lingustic person, more sciencey

Yeah, I'm not that linguistic either, more maths and art...but I enjoy learning Spanish

I'm like my children to be bilingual...that would be cool!

awesome

Yeah, i have already decided i'm gunna marry some forgien bloke, hopefully Spanish

Lol, you've decided that?

I suppose the rest of the world will just have to accept that then!

Poor old English boys! They're never gonna have a chance?

Haha yeah i have it probably wont happen though
Indeed they will

They might, depends

Lol, not 100% decided then? That's the way to be

oi kath! dont diss the specialist subject!! haha im going to do spanish gcse next year at college and im going on to do french a level because 1) languages can get you in a lot of places 2) because if i do decide to work for the EU the official language is french so i think ill do modern lang. at uni..i really want to study at the UCM in Madrid.
i have to admit i wanted to learn spanish before i heard of d'nash because Fernando Alonso's spanish and im such a fan!!but not like im a fan of these sexy muthas
.because i had the strange idea that i could be an interpreter in F1 because of the international drivers and i would be able to go VIP...lol!

I went to school in England before moving to Spain when I was 18, and my question is, do they still teach French as a second language? Or do you do Spanish now??

At my school you have to choose either French and Spanish/German to study for 2 years. Then - generally - you choose one of those to study for a further 2 years. (Some people choose both, and others choose neither - depends on you). And then if you want to you can continue a language to A Level.

yeah ..but there are like very few schools that offer it at GCSE....although a lot of colleges offer it at A level...weirdly enough

Hola!
I've been doing Spanish since I was 11...about 7ish years. I'm just finishing my Spanish A-level, going to do a degree with Spanish at uni in September.
I'm pretty good in my opinion My writing and reading is better than my speaking, granted, but it's getting better.
My goal is to move to Spain once I've trained as a solicitor and work there as an English-speaking lawyer
