Hola soy mexicana de Monterrey Nuevo León, tengo 16 años, me gusta la Torre Eiffel y me gustaría aprender mucho inglés (actualmente soy nivel pre-intermedio) pero me gustaria saber si aprender español es dificil.
¿Es díficil aprender español?
¿Es díficil pronunciar la "ñ"?
¿Por qué quieres aprender español?
¿Te gusta aprender español?
I think spanish is difficult, we use many things for say things "la, el,lo,las, y , pero, con............And if we entry to ortography uff! it's more difficult !
Yo pienso que el español es díficil, nosotros usamos muchas palabras para decir algo utilizamos muchos nexos "el,la,lo,las,los,pero,y,con........y si entramos a la ortografía ¡ uff! ¡ es más díficil !

Welcome to the group!
1. From my experience, Spanish is one of the easiest languages for Americans to learn. And with the growing number of Spanish speakers in the United States, it's also a very important language.
2. No, the 'n-tilde' is not a difficult sound for Americans. Everytime we say the word 'onion' or 'canyon', we're making that sound.
3. Good luck with your English studies. And I hope you get to go to Paris some day to see the Eiffel tower!

I'm halfway thru level 7 with the FSI, and I find the most difficult part to be the verbs.
For example, in Spanish the verb "Ver" (to see):
English: Spanish:
I see Yo Veo
You see Tu Ve
We see Nosotros Veamos
They See Ustedes Vean
Just for the word see, I have to learn 4 for the Spanish.
And, don't even get me started on the "Imperfect Subjunctives"! ![]() ![]() |

It is fairly easy for us, unless it is your first "second" language. If you want to see difficult, take it from me, try to learn Hungarian or Korean!

I don't see any difficulties in learning a certain language especially Spanish. There's nothing hard if we are determined. The main reason for me why certain people like to learn Spanish is to avoid "communication gap". It's nice to learn different languages in order to communicate with various nationality.

Well lets face it all languages can be difficult.
As far as spanish and english go, well here are my thoughts. To me english is easier to speak on a basic level. A person can get by on a little english. However english is hard to perfect because sometimes it does not have proper rules all the time. and the vocabulary can at times become extensive because english borrows words from so many other languages. Spanish, I feel like a person needs to reach a certain level before he can really survive in it. I feel like you really need a good foundation to build on with new material from the real world. ¿Es díficil aprender español? Yes, but compared to other languages, it is said to be the easiest for english speakers to learn. ¿Es díficil pronunciar la "ñ"? No, however for an english speaker it can be hard to make the vowel sounds properly. A spanish A E I O U can sound funny when an english speaker says uh eh iiii ouu yuuu. haha sorry its hard to explain this typing. And ofcourse some have problems rolling the Rs and sometimes I see people having trouble with words like Puerta, fuera, tarde, haha ¿Por qué quieres aprender español? Well I like to learn, and I have lots of free time. Also I can use it with my friends. And with people I meet at work. But also I am one of Jehovahs witnesses, Soy Testigo de Jehova, y aca en america las congregaciones de espanol siempre necesitan ayuda. Por eso, aprendo espanol. Algun dia quiero ir a mexico y ayudar a las congregaciones de ingles. Y por supuesto sera mejor que hable espanol. ¿Te gusta aprender español? SI MUCHO!!!!! I love it more than doing lots of other things. It such a rewarding thing to do. |
