/spanishclass/ - Clase de Español

What if you did it on vocaroo? Then it's not so immediate. You can record it, post it, and run away for a few hours.

No sabría decirte OP. Yo quiero practicar mi pronunciación de Inglés también pero igual me da vergüenza. He estado pensando en buscar a alguien con quién practicar regularmente y que me tenga paciencia. Para eso necesitaría hacer algún amigo online y honestamente apenas y tengo "amigos" offline.

>tfw want to practice my English pronunciation.

>tfw when only time I did manage to talk to a native speaker was because late night erotic roleplay.
It was good practice, I guess? I do weird shit when I'm sleep deprived.

Para practicar pronunciacion, traten de replicar el sonido de una pelicula/serie. Grabense y fijense si el sonido es parecido. El IPA tambien ayuda con el ingles.

Aviso de antemano que la pronunciacion en español puede variar bastante dependiendo del dialecto (por ejemplo en la y, la ll, la c).

Si lo que les pasa es que se traban hablando, leer un articulo en voz alta de corrido sirve.

Mantener una conversacion en tiempo real requiere mas que nada tener los reflejos condicionados y saberse las preguntas y respuestas genericas. Es mas que nada practica.

Feel free to ask if you have trouble understanding what I wrote above
PS: Good luck finding anyone who cares enough to place accents on words and use the inverted question mark
We actually use those, but you'll rarely find them outside printed material because people are lazy fucks.

Lo mas importante para aprender una lengua, es usarla.
Porque si no se usa, terminarás olvidando todo lo aprendido.
Ej: yo he dado 3 años de alemán y apenas recuerdo 3 palabras.

Aquí os dejo un canal de youtube con un monton de cuentos en español.
Fueron muy populares tanto en España como en America.

You have to have be able to tell apart chat slang jargon from actual proper language.
Phones have done a great deal of fucking up how people write.
For example those friendly greetings like:
"Ke pasa manco! , sigues siendo un marcicona con la cerveza?"

But do not worry if you listen to these accents for a while you end up getting used to them.

Never be afraid of embarrassing yourself it will never be as bad as when you where a baby and you drooled everywhere to say papa.

Why is it that I hear from a lot of a Spanish guys say the word 'Cabrron(sp)' when I meet them? The translation is arrogant goat but I hear that term used by George Lopez a lot. Is it slang for speaking to another man?

>>75
I thought it means something like "dude"…Hmm I wanna know too

>>75
Cabrón is usually an insult.
http://www.languagerealm.com/spanish/cabron.php
But in informal conversation these kinds of words are use to express exclamation or surprise.
Let see some examples:
"¡Hey cabron! ¿Que pasa? Cuanto tiempo! ¿Como está tu mujer?"
In this sentence it's used to express surprise, when he finds his friend after a long time.
"¡Coño Carlitos! !Deja de comer con las manos!"
In this sentence a mother it's really angry at her son Carlos, because he is back to eating pasta with his fingers and it's the 11th time she screams at him to use a spoon.

I know these expressions are abused in Spain and it's funny how these confuse the Germans because they don't insult people to say "Hi!" and they think everybody is angry at them.
Be sure to NEVER use this way of expressing yourself in formal conversation unless you want to get fired or get your letter ignored.

In Spain the akin word for Dude is Tio.
¡Hey tio ! ¿Que tal?
Hey dude! what's up?
There is no uncles there, unless he is your friend and uncle. Then both apply.

These words change depending of location
for example:
Quillo! It's something similar to dude , it comes from chiquillo , this word is used a lot on southern Spain.
These you usually learn them as you go.
It just the local slang.

I can tell you about some of the slang used in Spain if you are interested. But I cannot help you with the local slang of other countries.

>>62
Well, if you are interested… perhaps we could arrange something?

>>128
Sure. I have skype or we could send vocaroos via email or something

>I feel the same road you make.
>Also, I am only begin learning Spanish.

Props to you for getting started with Spanish, anon, but next time try to write something intelligible, or at least include the original post in English.
