So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Tips To Learn Spanish Quickly

By Mathew Nicks


You've decide to learn Spanish, congratulations! One great thing, the Spanish language is not hard to learn. It's no problem if languages aren't your strong point. Spanish is spoken by so many people in the world, and you'll have troubles finding a method that will work for you. Learning Spanish can be fun and easy, so we'll discuss some tips you can use to help make it more enjoyable.

One theory about learning languages is the the best solution is immersion in the new language. For anyone wanting to learn Spanish, going to a country where that was the main language would be a way to gain fluency.

There are, of course, certain places in the U.S. where you could use this immersion method right at home. There is an advantage to going to another place, though -there, you are literally compelled to speak the new language. There are many people who claim that immersing themselves in the new language made them learn it faster than they could have any other way. This does, no doubt, test your comfort zone, and not everyone likes this. It's up to you whether or not this is the way you'd like to learn.

You'll be able to listen to them on a CD player, or you can also download them to an MP3 player and take them anywhere. You are not limited to one central location for your learning. Just get on the net! You'll find the net is loaded with help for learning Spanish. One great tool is Babelfish, a translation bot. You can type your sentence into Babelfish and have it translated to Spanish. The reason this is so nice is because you can compose any sentence and have it translated into Spanish for learning. But just keep in mind that English and Spanish sentence structures are different from each other. So the translation tool will show you exactly how the structure changes from English to Spanish. There are other tools available on the net to help make learning Spanish a little easier.

You can also watch Spanish TV and movies. It's not hard because all movie rental outlets have a foreign language section, plus there are many Spanish broadcasts on TV. This will let you gain knowledge of how Spanish is actually spoken but without traveling just to hear it. This is great if you don't live near a Spanish speaking population. When you watch, be sure to enable subtitles on. As you feel your level of understanding getting better - turn them off and then see for sure. Your learning will go much faster by using this method.

Watching TV shows and movies in Spanish will help you. It's not hard because all movie rental outlets have a foreign language section, plus there are many Spanish broadcasts on TV. You'll hear how Spanish words are suppose to be spoken. If you can't find someone to speak Spanish with, this will help you a great deal. When you watch, be sure to enable subtitles on. As your understanding improves, try turning them off and see how you do. Keep doing this, and your learning will improve fast.

Don't think that it has to be hard work or a chore to learn this new language. If you don't yet have a second language, Spanish is a good one to start with, because it's relatively easy. In today's information age, you can find a variety of options to choose from for achieving this goal. Not everyone has to take the same approach; ask yourself what seems like the best choice. Once you find the right method for you, you will know it. Remember that whatever method you use, you have to give yourself time to make progress.
