@AnAmericanlinguist Me alegro mucho de que hayas podido enfrentarte a un texto tan complejo como “Cien años de soledad” y que hayas podido llegar hasta el final e incluso lo hayas disfrutado. La verdad es que has conseguido mucho más que muchos hispanohablantes, colombianos o no. Felicidades.
Reading about myths, superstitions in another language is AWESOME!! I borrowed a book from my french teacher about Quebecoise myths and superstitions called Créatures Fantastiques Du Québec and read the entire thing in a day.
@koolibrii Depende de tu nivel. Por mi fue una procesión natural. Viaje a Colombia, y antes de irme quería leer Marquez. Si fue un poco dificil, sobre todo al principio, pero el reto mejoró mi español y cuando estaba en el país, yo podía discutir el libro con la gente allá. Creo que es mas importante comprender la historia de Colombia y la Biblia, que tener un nivel de nativo-hablante en español para comprender este libro. Un saludo
@Elekias Thanks and I am really enjoying learning Czech.
@Ven0mB0Y Of course I understand both and I don’t think the difference is that great, at least in the cities.
@eugrus I only like output in real situations preferably with native speakers. I prefer input until I get the opporutnity.
@Jamiekimme0643 El Bosque Originario by Jon Juaristu
@Jamiekimme0643 excuse my spanish
what is the book? el bosque el origneo?
Possibly a combo vid for Japanese/Korean? =D
Are you that much against role playing games in language learning? I mean, some output should be anyway!
How do you feel about the differences between French Canadian and European French? Do you understand both?

What if it’s a Catholic boarding school for boys?

…and why did I bother with Czech” Hmm..
Ok, I will be more than happy to hear this one! As for your passion for myths / legends of the origin, I recommend the one about Forefather Cech and his brother Lech 
Keep up the good work Steve!
Pavel – recently living in Strasbourg and struggling with French – I need that bike also!!
I am from Scotland and you have to do 6 years minimum of French or German! But to be honest it was boring! The way the teachers had to teach it for our Standard Grades was terrible just exercises upon exercises and grammar all the time and I got a 4 which is a low grade. But now I want learn more languages and I have just started learning Dutch which I am finding really easy as its so close to English and also some of it to French which I can only remember the basics for.
@AnAmericanlinguist Por otra parte, Cien años de soledad es un pilar de la literatura, no sólo en español sino de la literatura universal. Sinceramente, yo no se lo recomendaría a un “estudiante de español” como libro de lectura para mejorar el idioma. Antes de leer a Gabriel García Márquez hay que dominar, mejor dicho, tener una familiaridad con la lengua literaria como la de un hispanohablante nativo culto.
@AnAmericanlinguist Sí. La sombra del viento es una novela lo suficientemente atractiva y fácil para que un no hispanohablante empiece a familiarizarse con el español. Eso no quiere decir que esté escrita en buen castellano, eso es harina de otro costal.
@lingosteve ahah my second teacher taught me well the difference, it was the first one who didn’t know how to get to students, i used to call her the ugly nazist!, but the new one is very kind. When I do my second exam with her I will know the true!
@lingosteve that’s exactly what I’m doing. Thank you for the advice
, I wll apply a different plan for my third language, I already know the basis at least
@paraescucharrap I wrote a biography, The Linguist A Language Learning Odyssey. You can find it on Amazon. You cannot read a complete book until you have spent a lot of time reading and listening to shorter content , and learning words.
@erdal0 Give Spanish a chance. Read interesting things. Listen to songs in Spanish. The more you do it, the more you will enjoy it, maybe.
@MelancholyInLove Que and Qui is not a pronunciation issue, I believe, but knowing which one to use.
@MelancholyInLove To improve in reading you just need to read more. I find it very difficult to absorb the grammar until I have had a lot of exposure to the language.
Reading is the most difficult part as I am concerned. I can tell that because of my experience. And there is where i am improving my second and third language now, can’t wait to do it with my fourth, but I’ll have to wait, or may not, maybe I will approach to the fourth one differently by starting reading right away instead of keep listening ans studying grammar.
