I can order beer in 6 different languages. How does that measure up?
Give the single fellas in here something handy like.. "You're a real honey is there any chance we could go to your place for some fun." hehehehe

ONLY?!?!?!?!?!?!??! do i now look really uneducated if i say i can only speak one language? i can just about manage a sentace in french, and i can vaguely understand russian, but i would hardly consider either of those "knowing" a language.
i'd say i'm fluent in about 3 languages, and i understand a fair amount of french but stopped learning it about 2 years ago, so don't remember how to say much.
Originally posted by N I KYou would also drop the 'yo' from the verb and put in 'una' like so: -
agree.
i think you mean to say 'yo tengo muy grande vaca en mis pantalones' as you need to make the 'my' agree with the 'trousers'....but a spanish speaker would know what you mean no problem.
Tengo una vaca muy grande en mis pantalones.
I think. It is 13 years since i studied the language.
Originally posted by jimslyp69yeah you're right. the 'yo' is only needed for emphasis-it's not essential in the sentence as the 'tengo' refers to the 1st person singular anyway.

the way you've said it is probably the way it would be said by most people (although i'm not quite sure how to get a large cow in your trousers lol).
it's impressive that it's been such a long time since you studied the language.
Originally posted by N I KI keep telling myself that I will go back and study it again but I don't know where to start. Where i left off at school, the natural progression would be to go on to do an A level in it, but that would be too hard now, as I have forgotten a hell of a lot, vocabulary, tenses, irregular verbs etc. Would it make sense to go back and do my GCSE in it again, even though I already have this qualification, albeit a piece of paper that says I can do something that, in fact, I can't anymore. 😕

this site may help.
i think the place to (re)start would be going over some basic grammar and vocab that you are most likely to use, just to get into the flow of it again. i would also make sure to practise listening to it as much as possible, and speaking it wherever you can. i also suggest watching spanish films, or films dubbed in spanish. whatever you do, the main thing is to think in the language as this will increase your rate of improvement. hope that helps.
Originally posted by N I KI have kind of practised the language by thinking in the language. I always thought this a little bizarre. Listening to the language was always my weak point though. It seems like quite a simple language on paper, but a lot harder to get a grasp off when spoken. Es mucho rapido.

Originally posted by jimslyp69no prob. and 'si, es muy rapido' when spoken. but it really is a case of the more listening you do, the easier it becomes...make sure to start off by listening to people speaking slowly and clearly. suerte!
