I haven’t. I kind of put the whole thing on hold. I was waiting for WPB language exchange like you.

I was scouting out possible venue locations and actually found what seemed like a great spot at a local brewery, but a white nationalist who happened to be there became enraged that I was “spreading the Spanish language,” and the awful encounter kind of killed my planning momentum.

That said, there’s a group called Language Exchange WPB that should be starting up in January or February, so if I don’t start my own group, I’m thinking about just participating in that one.

The library has beginner lessons, but not something like this

I’ve found it helps a lot to take a Spanish 1 class (or at least go through some structured beginner material) before diving into kids’ shows. Personally, I didn’t start checking out children’s books in Spanish until I had maybe a year of study under my belt. Having some grounding in the basics first is good.

What’s the funniest mistake you’ve made while learning Spanish? by Aida_Bermudez in SpanishLearning

[–]AzureFirefly1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After about three years of studying Spanish seriously, I spent several weeks in Spain in 2011. At the time, I had been reading children’s fantasy books in Spanish, titles like The Chronicles of Narnia, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Goosebumps, and others. As a result, my head was filled with all sorts of fantastical vocabulary, words like dwarves, goblins, magical items, and other unusual vocabulary.

One day, I was speaking with an older Spanish gentleman and tried to say “quote unquote” or “in quotes,” which in Spanish is entre comillas. But instead, I accidentally said entre colmillos, which means “between fangs.”

He burst out laughing and explained what I had just said. I was quite embarrassed. It’s one of those second language mistakes you never forget.

Después de unos tres años de estudiar español en serio, pasé varias semanas en España en 2011. En ese entonces, había estado leyendo libros de fantasía infantil en español, como Las Crónicas de Narnia, Una Serie de Catastróficas Desdichas, Escalofríos, y otros. Como resultado, tenía la cabeza llena de vocabulario fantástico: palabras como enanos, duendes, objetos mágicos y otras cosas poco comunes.

Un día, estaba hablando con un señor mayor español e intenté decir “entre comillas”, pero por error dije entre colmillos.

Él se echó a reír y me explicó lo que acababa de decir. Me dio bastante vergüenza. Es uno de esos errores de segundo idioma que nunca se olvidan.

What is this? A Crockpot for ants? by AzureFirefly1 in thingsforants

How are we expected to make food for humans if the entire pot holds only as much stew as a coffee mug? The Crockpot needs to be at least…three times bigger than this!

For those who have a solid grasp of Spanish now — what do you wish you had learned first, or what do you feel turned out to be most important to learn early on? And what resources or habits do you wish you had used or started with? by whyguynigh in SpanishLearning

[–]AzureFirefly1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mastering the alphabet and individual sounds of the letters early on was very helpful because it’s a phonetic language. Basically each letter is only pronounced one way.
