Move to Spain, be adopted by an old spanish sheppard who hasn't spoken to anyone in decades and fancies a good chinwag.

Should be smooth going after that

Chinwag=Talk.

When you talk your chin wags....kinda, something like that anyway.

If your mom won't let you go, could you not persuade her to adopt a spanish sheppard......tell her it's for educational purposes

Study...study...study.

Going to Spain or Mexico would be a good idea, if you had the chance. I went to Spain last summer and stayed with an entirely Spanish speaking family for four days (mind, I had an English speaking roommate, and met up with the rest of my group during the day). By the end I could hold my own in a two hour conversation with our guide. I've lost most of that though.

The worst thing was, when I got back home, instead of automatically saying thank you, yes, and please to people at stores and such, I said gracias, si and por favor.

The best way to learn a language is to take a class, although I assume you already are. Don't expect to learn it in a week or even a month.. things like this take time. If you stick with it, you should manage fine.

Taking a trip to a Spanish-speaking country isn't a bad idea if you're aiming for cultural enrichment. However, dialects and accents will likely impair your ability to learn the language. I suggest compiling a list of common verbs and general vocabulary before attempting such an expedition.

Also, online translators generally produce literal translations, which often do not comply with normal Spanish speech.

¿Qué exactamente quiere usted saber? Sugiero usted estudia muy duro & trata parlante a algunos de los tipos que hacen bien en el sujeto (en el español por supuesto). ¿Parecen que hay unos pocos de usted aqu* de la misma escuela & puedo sólo asume que usted tiene muchos de los mismos sujetos, as* que quizás un grupo de estudio?

Quizá idea de Coney es mejor - mueve a España & vive con un pastor de cabra o adopta a un pastor de cabra. ... Estoy bastante seguro que su mamá no tendrá incoveniente en si es para propósitos educativos. Y usted podr*a agregar que es una oportunidad en el desarrollo social y el alivio internacional..

De todos modos, la buena suerte - espera va bien.

Edit - err I subsituted goat herder for Coney's sheppard, blonde moment sorry

mmmmm a little trick of the trade i learnt whilst being forced by the school to learn French and Jap... you learn a few close-ended phrases in that language and impress your teacher yet not have to go on it only works every now and then but it is a very good skill... failing that i guess you could actually learn the language (i had an excuse who wants to speak french )

second- Fire "mal" is bad in french and latin.
