Learn Spanish By Avoiding Grammatical Mistakes For the language student, to learn Spanish is also to be aware (and stay clear) of the common grammatical mistakes most beginners commit. This is not to say never to commit mistakes but knowing them lessens the chances of making errors. Prepositions Prepositions in English and Spanish do not usually have a one-on-one agreement. Examples in English would be MALADY, MALEVOLENT, MALFUNCTION, and MALICE. In Spanish, the words would include MALEVOLO (malevolent), MALFORMACION (malformation) and MALVADO (malignant). They all begin with the prefix MAL. Suffixes Suffixes are tricky in both English and Spanish. There are two main types of suffixes in Spanish: augmentative and diminutive. Using it would sometimes make the sentence clunky, and invites attention. Prepositions This is tricky because prepositions in Spanish are challenging. Learning the purpose of prepositions is helpful, rather than banking solely on their translations. This can help in avoiding mistakes such as PIENSO ACERCA DE TI in place of PIENSO EN TI (I am thinking of you).

Today, globalization is the biggest reason why people saw the need of communicating with people from other countries. Today s trend indicates that Americans are studying Spanish in record numbers. The perceived reason is that so much business opportunities are out there. In fact, learning any foreign language is not easy. But although it is quite hard, learning Spanish is not without fun.

And every time they do good, they get all the more motivated. There could be system requirements for your computer. Sometimes, the online center would provide the necessary software needed. When learning Spanish online, it is important to set realistic goals in the very beginning. Setting realistic goals will help you avoid any frustrations and disappointments.
