Spanish for Delcore's Wiki!

I am currently learning Spanish as a second language. I plan to one day become fluent in reading Spanish. I am currently learning on a free language site, Duolingo, that can help you learn a langage for free. I was refered to it by a friend. Before it, id give my Spanish a 1. No I'd be at like a 4. I am currently cruising through basic Spanish.

If your a fluent Spanish speaker or writer, please feel free to drop tips on general Spanish!

## Learn with Me!

I'm currently a Level 5 Spanish. I have 25 crowns in Duolingo. You receive a crown at the completion of each level. …. Each topic is a certain thing or class of thigs, like one was family, others will be nature, animals, weather, and clothing. I will post my notes here. Topics are made of 5 levels or stages. Each stage is worth 3-5 lessons each. That's up to 25 lessons per topic. The first stage of each topic, is when youll learn the new words, that you can practice with in the later 20 sessions.

### Notes from Duolingo Lessons

Ive been writing notes in my notebook for a while now, and is filling up. So ill make them electronic, and will be able to see them on the go, and youll too be able to learn new words and phrases with me.

### Languages I'm learning-

Currently im pretty serious about getting a foot in the door on Spanish. Spanish is becoming immensely popular in Connecticut, with now almost all schools offering it as a second language. THE YEAR AFTER I graduated high school is when my school implemented it. Plus I was too jammed with core subjects I couldn't find time for a language. In my high school there was Russian, but was dropped when the Russian teacher left. If I had the chance, I would've been in that class. NFA also had like 100 Spanish classes, one right for all stages of learners, French, Arabic, Chinese, Italian, and many other European languages. This was now 4 years ago, so it may be different.

Now that i'm out of school, Im choosing to learn a language online and my friend refered me to Duolingo where Im currently learning Russian, but am focusing on reading in Spanish. Spanish is a popular language that I hear and see in places, that I've wondered that they've said. I've already known some words by heart, like Amigo=Friend Gracias=Thank You. Ive also leanred in context, where I used to see English words, now replaced with Spanish words, like on Facebook. You can read your profile in another language, ive been doing so, changing between English and Spanish.
