So what is the difference in Americans learing Spanish to sell to Mexicans and the rest of the world learning?

Mendi8a asked:


English to sell to the US? People seem to think that someone is telling them they must learn Spanish to speak to the hispanic community, but when has anyone ever asked you to learn?
Hey angry POD, I am speaking English.
Not just selling to Mexico, but to spanish-speakers in the US.
grooming, you can choose not to put things in Spanish, just dont sell you stuff, your choice.
Alll dialects of Spanish understand one another well. Dont act like if you spoke Mexican Spanish, people from Cuba would not understand you, they would and do, ask my Cuban friend.
Zoe, I am not Hispanic, I never claimed to be. My husband and I help Mexico by taking care of his parents, bring things to his aunts, uncles, friends. I take letters and packages to and from Mexico to let friends communicate with their families. In my house in Mexico, we house his Mom, Dad, Sister, Neice and Nephew. It’s a pretty big place. We have a bathroom with shower, something that they didnt have before we made our house there. I sadly cannot say that I have helped all of Mexico, though I have donated to the Red Cross there for the victims of Hurricane Stan. I cant help how you percieve me, I am just stating my beliefs.

What are some good online resources for learning Spanish?

learning spanish
Mr Jaggers asked:


I’m currently taking Spanish at my school, but sometimes I need help that isn’t readily available in the textbook or my notes. What I really need is a website that explains the grammar rules of Spanish. A website that only conjugates verbs or gives word definitions is no good because I’m usually not sure how to use them in a sentence. Thanks in advance!

And she is ahead of me, thanks to Dora. She’s ben watching all her cartoons in Spanish. But I’m wondering what would be a good way for us to learn together. You have any good ideas. She can read a little, and I dont’ want to go too fast, but she does know when someone is speaking Spanish or English and I can tell that she is very interested.
