Use index cards. Write the question on one side and the answer on the other.

i tried to copy and paste, but the letters end up being deleted.

This works. Look under the HTML 4.0 Entity column and keep scrolling down. Copy the characters, paste, and you’re set =)

It needs to be in HTML format like this "& character name ;"
That’s probably why your letters kept being deleted.

I am trying to learn Spanish again (after forgetting almost everything from HS 4 years later).

I need to buy a grammar book. What can you recommend for me? What do you think is best grammar book out there?

PS. I know about livemocha, rosettastone… etc. I want to find a good book for Spanish Grammar.

it’s called Teach Yourself Spanish, and you can buy on this website.. Amazon.com

My language tutor told me the other day that my grammar is Spanish is better than in French, my native language. Does that mean I write better in Spanish then in French? As well as speaking?

I think it’s because we always take our native languages for granted. Plus we learn grammar in our native language at such an early age that it’s easy to forget the picky details in everyday conversation. Whereas when learning language, so much emphasis is put on grammar. And that’s what we concentrate on when speaking and writing to make sure we have it write. At least that’s what I think. I actually learning about English grammar (my native language) through learning Spanish (second language).

Im doing a presentation for my spanish class on grammar and I need a game to play with the students after i teach the lesson on grammar … thanks !

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.. thanks !
Btw these r high school AP Spanish students and Spanish bingo was already taken but thanks anyways :)
How about something like 20 questions, you know where you stick a celebrities name to your forehead, and everyone else can see, and they have to ask 20 questions to guess who it is. But instead, use Spanish phrases and grammar etc…

I was thinking of making some videos explaining the key elements such as conjugation and helpful tips as to learning the Spanish language in my spare time. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in that kind of thing.

Why dont you become a spanish tutor? Get paid like 20$/hour!! Put up posters near local highschools or watever…

En la religión de Cristiandad, Jesús, el hijo de El Dios, se murió para salva los humanos de pecado. Es Imposible ir al cielo sin la creencia que Jesús murió en una cruz. En la mayoría sectas de cristiandad, Jesús es el Dios de los Cristianos y el Espíritu Santo. Cristianos creen que nunca personas puede ganar la salvación porque La salvación es un regalo del Dios, y necesito aceptar el regalo para salvación.
Writing an Essay in spanish about christianity any help would be great. grammer checks, and suggested additional information would be great

En la religión Cristiana, Jesús, el hijo de Dios, murió para salvar a la humanidad del pecado. Es imposible ser salvo sin creer que Jesús murió en la cruz. La mayoría de las sectas Cristianas creen en Jesús, Dios, y el Espíritu Santo. Cristianos creen que la gente no puede ganar la salvación porque la salvación es un regalo de Dios y cada persona necesita aceptar ese regalo para ser salvo.

I hope this helps… :)
remember that you never conjugate a verb if it is used directly after the preposition "para."

I am looking for a good advanced level Spanish student book. It is not necessary to include a vocabulary section. I need good explanations of language uses and some related examples and exercises. Maybe something like the Longman Grammar and Vocabulary for Cambridge Advanced and Proficiency but in Spanish of course.

I would suggest puntos de partida 8 becuase it is a begginer college level textbook and they give wonder explanations on grammer. and you can go online to their site and practice listning comprehension. If you do not want to spend alot of money try looking for it used online
