Here are some websites that I came across that will help you learn Soanish correctly. They help you with a lot of things but mostly verb conjugation, which is one of the things that I have the most trouble with: http://www.alicante-spain.com/spain-tip ... -verb.html http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Thebes/ ... ables.html http://www.spaleon.com/pret.php http://www.verbix.com/languages/spanish.shtml http://www.elemadrid.com/spanish_verbs.htm http://spanish.about.com/cs/verbs/a/conjug_index.htm http://www.studyspanish.com/lessons/regverb2.htm http://www.rcaguilar.com/spanish/verbs/ ... ion-02.htm -Orange |

Thanks, Orange! One of those thousand things I mean to get around to between trips -- you made it much more reachable for me. |

Orange, A very useful post, thank you! For learning some basic Costa Rican idiomatic vocabulary, I also recommend http://www.paulglassman.com/cr4.htm This list includes words/phrases unique to Costa Rica, including a list of food and beverage items, so you don't accidentally eat the pig intestines when you thought you were getting seviche...

Slag me if I'm wrong, but this thread has continuing value. Note: I didn't try to click thru to any of them. "Orange" always posts "news you can use". |

I got some .mp3 spanish lessons on the site below a month ago. Today went there and could not find them, but perhaps with a little digging you may get them. Don't want to be too specific for the obvious reasons. http://www.whorticulture.info Lostone |

Hermanos, Do you guys with pretty good Spanish skills usually address the Chicas with tu or usted? It is my understanding that, unlike much of the Latin world, there is a greater formality in CR, with most people finding tu a little too pushy from strangers. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Always trying to be polite (and occasionally failing)!! CdrTom |

It is my understanding that, unlike much of the Latin world, there is a greater formality in CR, with most people finding tu a little too pushy from strangers. On the other hand, usted seems to me to be a little formal, given the relationship of CRTers to chicas. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Always trying to be polite (and occasionally failing)!! CdrTom C.R. Spanish speakers use the usted for everyone. Ch*ldr*n, pets, judges. In the HDR and other venues however, there are girls from other L.Am. countries who use the "tu" form. I do this: ?De donde es Ud.?" If she says anywhere outside of C.R., I use the "tu" form. It has nothing to do with the social context of prostitution. IMHO. |
