Hello I am new here!

Postby Lugia123 » Fri Aug 17, 2018 9:18 am

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I can already now say that I am the worst with learning language but I
think its really fun! I currently live in Stockholm with my girlfriend. Both of us are tired of the cold and plan to move to Spain permanently
because we always travel there. The issue is that we dont speak spannish and they are not the best English speaking country in the world.
So to understand the native language is a must for me because having a good social life is something I highly value.

So I googled around and found this forum which I believe can help me on my journey to learn this language!

I will try to be active here and hope to talk to you soon! :D :D

My pleasure. Lugia is my favourite Pokémon as well :D

If you guys are looking for a good way to start your Spanish, there are plenty of valuable resources on the internet. And a lot of them are free as well! As to not overwhelm you, I am just gonna give you one resource that I always recommend to beginners.

- Language Transfer: Complete Spanish. It's available on Youtube and Soundcloud. Pretty fantastic resource, a 14 hour course that won't teach you everything about Spanish, of course, but it will give you a solid foundation. After completing the course or even during it, it'll be much easier to identify your weak spots and work on them by using other material. You'll be amazed at the amount of content that the internet has to offer for Spanish students.

Feel free to drop by the Spanish Group to ask any questions or for advice.
