Ways to learn some quick, conversational spanish?
Isabella’s mama (: asked:
I work at an organization that offers clothes, food and education assistance to those who need it. Probably 95% of people I deal with daily are spanish. I have a translator that stays with me, but often times I think it would be easier if I just knew a little spanish to help other people or to help myself when my translator is not with me. I don’t want to spend a great deal of money on lessons or software to learn. So, any suggestions?

Paris H asked:
Write a dialogue in Spanish between two people about either the weather, sports, ordering a meal, or getting directions. Use five to ten sentences. You are not allowed to simply copy text from previous lessons, so I would suggest that you first compose an original script in English and then–using related lessons to help you–translate the dialogue on your own into Spanish.

362436 asked:
Since all the Spanish people here refuse to speak english around us non spanish speakers. I think the USA goverment should provide free of charge lessons for all who want to learn the Spanish language since it is our second language here.
