..HOW TO HAVE GREAT FUN LEARNING SPANISH!
We hope that you have a lot of
fun learning Spanish on our site. Whether you are a total
beginner, improver or advanced student, there should be
something here of value for you. Attempting a new language can
sometimes be a daunting experience, but it doesn`t need to be
so. The emphasis on this site is the development of language
which is most commonly used in everyday
situations.
The site is basically
structured so that you can start with some easy situational
material, for example; family life; shopping; travel; and
leisure etc. Then move on to a range of articles in both
Spanish and English on all aspects of life in Spain and
Spanish-speaking countries, all the really interesting stuff
that we enjoy such as food and wine; travel;
culture; famous destinations.
Keep up to date with site
developments and other articles of interest on our blog, or join us on Facebook and Twitter.
SPANISH ARTISTS:See our new page on Spanish artists, starting with the inventor of Cubism, Pablo Picasso. Picasso is probably the most famous of the Modern Artists of the twentieth century and produced thousands of paintings, prints, sculptures and ceramics over 75 years. See also the new page on Spanish art styles, and others.
In any language there are a
relatively small number of words which account for 80 per cent
of all conversations. So if you can master this vocabulary
then you will go a long way towards being able to learn
Spanish and communicate effectively. We will cover all this by
introducing a range
of situations and topics which allow the natural coverage
of this language. This approach will also naturally touch on
those common aspects of grammar which you need to know to
frame some good conversations.

The wonderful climate in Spain is an essential element in the creation of some stunning spanish wines.

What I love about Barcelona is
that there is something for everyone: the culture fanatic will
be delighted with the famous architecture of Antoni Gaudi; for
football fans there is Camp Nou; the city is littered with
cafes, bars, restaurants and night clubs for the socialite;
and there is even a beach (even if it is man-made, it still
attracts hundreds of sun-bathers!)
Perhaps the most remarkable
place in Barcelona is Las Ramblas - a quirky series of streets
with many stalls, selling flowers, pets and many other
oddities. Another feature of Las Ramblas is the human statues
- give them money and they will reward you by breaking their
pose to offer a movement of thanks.
For more information on
Barcelona, see our pages in our Spain section.
