Errors in Spanish
Making mistakes is fine in a self - study program or a correspondence course.
I am thinking of using the mistakes in my notebook and learning from them or developing a track of all the common mistakes I tend to make. That journal or notebook I asked you to use for the supplemental blog is something you can use to jot down your most frequent errors in Spanish.
Self - study programs are kinder in that you can go your own pace and return to the same points you want to review. You can bookmark pages in your notebook or journal, or write down which features of this blog you want to review. Reviewing may seem like a tedious task at first, but actually, it is fun. What it does is get you to think about your level of learning.
"Oh, so that's the mistake that keeps me back, or now, I know this part, and I wonder why I kept getting stuck just there." You may even slap your forehead for not
seeing it through the first time.
I was on Craigs List the other day, and I found people that wanted conversations more, or to meet someone to practice Spanish face to face. I understand their rush. Most of the time, people wish to meet face to face, because they figure they can learn faster, and they will find discipline if they meet with others on a regular basis as they once did in classes at school. The only difference is that you have to email a stranger and start to work with strangers almost immediately. Unless you have a great email manner, you may not even stick with this process. This is another reason, I thought of this Self - Study journey for all of my random students that stumble upon my blog.
You may wonder what happened to the people that took Spanish with you in a high school or college level class. Did they keep it up? Did they practice with others continuously, or did they let it all slide?
The part of home study or a correspondence class by mail or by email is that you can work with time allotments that don't have to do with face to face meetings or depending on the other person's reliability. In this day and age, things come up frequently. People have to go to places, be at work, and usually do not keep the scheduled appointments, unless they are paying by contract or for tutoring.
Contracts are fine, and I would advise using them, if you do meet face to face with someone. In this case, We are taking the learning of Spanish in a pace that we can all tolerate. Even if you and I don't show up to read this blog or read it together, it will still be up and still be available. So, that meets the part of reliability.
If you do feel as if you need personal attention or coaching, facilitation of English to Spanish, please comment below the posts. You are most welcome to ask questions or ask the writer here to clarify or assign more lessons or readings.
Are you ready to look at readings in Spanish? How about newspapers in Spanish?
There is http://elpais.com
If you browse, there will be the perfect one for you.
http://newspaper-world.com/language/spanish.asp
Here's a site for English speakers. http://www.world-newspapers.com/spain.html
Mostly, I read newspapers in my mind, but I can also practice the words out loudly. What I think is lacking is the ability to forgive yourself if you don't get every single word. Well, when you first spoke English, did you know every single word? It's all pacing of yourself and pacing it with a group of other like individuals, whether it be in school or out of school.
If you're suffering a real emergency, you can always contact me at
writeinspire@yahoo.com (Ms. A., I need some email feedback or time to work this Spanish out in writing back and forth to a live person.) If you don't, that's fine, too.
Have fun this summer! I will still continue posting. If you decide to take a vacation or time off, don't forget to look up Solitaire and Spanish Solitaire up again. (www.spanishsolitaire.blogspot.com or www.solospanish.blogspot.com)
Enjoy the Home Study Option or the Correspondence Course option I am offering
on some other sites.
Again, contact me at writeinspire@yahoo.com
English speakers, never fail to remember your ENGLISH can help you learn Spanish better. Practice both well.
Bye for now!
