Re:Re:Re:Wonderful job!
Okay, now I just feel stupid. I meant to write the first one, but I thought I responded to the wrong message, thus the second post.

Re:Re:Wonderful job!
I would appreciate it, Rafael, if you continued your lesson. My Spanish teacher is on maternity leave, and our long-term substitute is dreadfully inadequate. I am in need of some intelligent instruction, but if you do not have the time, don't continue on my account. Gracias!

Wonderful job!
You've done an outstanding job there Rafael! It's great to see people like you, who are always helping out with whatever they can. It is somehow difficult to find this kind of persons nowadays, so it really brings a smile to my face when I see this behaviour.
I'll be more than pleased to provide assistance with spanish to anyone who needs some tuition, or just has a simple, or perhaps not so simple question.
Unfortunately, because of work, my time is limited, so I won't be able to manage to write any structured lessons like yours.
Cheers!

Re:Why don't we start with Spanish Lessons in this B. Board?
TIME TO PRACTICE:
Fill in the blanks with the correct answer: personal pronouns, correct definite or indefinite article, be careful with genders. we’ll use all what we’ve learned so far :)
A) Fill in the blanks with the correct answer: Example: Usted ES mi amigo / you ARE my friend (polite).
Yo estoy un estudiante de idiomas / I’m a languages student.
Tú estas un estudiante también. / You’re a student too.
Ustedes estan buenos amigos / You’re good friends
Ella esta mi amiga / She’s my friend.
El perro es mi mascota / the dog is my pet.
Roberto, Miguel y Yo estamos Mexicanos / Robert, Micke and I are Mexicans.
México es mi país / Mexico is my country.
B) Complete the next chart with the corresponding Personal Pronoun in Spanish: eg We = NOSOTROS
I = Yo
You =Tu
He =El
She =Ella
It = lo
We = nosotros
You = Usted
They = Ustedes
C) Genders: Complete the sentence with its corresponding ARTICLE (definite)
El perro es bonito / dog-beautiful
La Casa son grandes / house-big.
El mano es pequeña / hand-small
Los abuelos / grandfathers
Las gatas / female-cats.
Los estudiantes / students
El television / tv
D) Complete with Indefinite Articles: eg. Una televisión / a t.v.
Unas mapas / maps
Una problema / problem
Una días / days
Una planeta / planet
Unas sofás / sofas
E) Fill in the blank with its corresponding verb, article, personal pronoun, take care of its gender :)
Yo estoy(verb to be) Marcos, estoy (verb to be) el (indefinite art) estudiante de Idiomas.
Profesora Mónica, usted (Personal Pronoun, formal) _____ Inglesa ó de Estados Unidos?; Yo estoy (to be) de Estados Unidos, pero mis papás estan (to be, plural) Ingleses. ______ (3rd Plural Personal pronoun) viven en _______ (definite article) ciudad de Londres.
F) Complete with the correct DEFINITE article, I’ll add the translation but I WON’T indicate if it’s male or female: e.g. EL carro, LA escoba
Los perros /dogs, La gata/cat, El carro/car, La biblioteca /library, Los ciudades /cities
La libertad/liberty Las lecciones / lessons.
Now let’s use INDEFINITE articles: eg. Un amigo/a friend, unas casas / some houses
La programa/program, Las problemas / problems, Los manos /hand, El radio / radio.

SERBIAN/CROATIAN/BOSNIAN
There runs already a language course for everybody interested in these idioms.
The lessons appear in BULLETIN BOARD/ACTIVITIES AND GAMES. The additional material is in CLUB LIBRARY (Language 1 Serbian, language 2 English). You’ll find a lot of useful expressions there, but also some rubbish (not from me!).There are also WORD GAMES in the language section SERBIAN (SERBO-CROATIAN), type OTHER, related to the words and expressions used in the lessons. They are puzzling and tricky and demand some effort do discover what it's all about. If you consider them a kind of mental gym, you’ll surely enjoy them. You could also test your friends and relatives. I guess they’ll be totally surprised.
It’s not necessary that you have golden membership, but you should be at least a regular member (it's free!), and always log in at the beginning. Don’t wonder if you are prompted to log in again and again. I believe there must be a kind of time limit or some security reason behind it.
Your comments, especially concerning the differences of Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian, are welcome. These idioms are very similar, but not identical.
I’m obviously no native English speaker, but I’ll do my best. So if you think, something should be improved, just do it. You can post your own messages with questions or comments using the title “SERBIAN/CROATIAN/BOSNIAN-Aleksandar”. You can also send your questions or comments within your reply to a particular lesson. I’ll surely answer them.

Re:Why don't we start with Spanish Lessons in this B. Board?
This is so great! I've been waiting for something like this. My Spanish 1 class is so easy, but that may be because my grandfather speaks Spanish, so I pretty much know everything we are learning so far. It'll be nice to have a challenge. Is it too late to join?

Re:LESSON 3: Definite and Indefinite Articles
My suggestion:
Since there is a lot of words common to english and spanish,try to activate this potential in the following way or in some other manner you find sutable:
In Spanish, the indefinite article has 4 forms, depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, singular or plural.
(spanish : español, indefinite : indefinido, article : artículo, form : forma, depend : depender, depending : dependiente, masculine: masculino, feminine : femenino, singular : singular, plural : plural)
Saludos

Re:who uses AOL instant messenger?
I use AIM, and so do many of my friends overseas when chatting with me. But, I am in the US. It is enormously popular here.
