Hey guys !! Hope you are having a good New Year.
I want to talk today about the similarities and differences with Spanish and English. The fact is as much as there are differences there are definitely many similarities between these two languages. Thus they have mucho encomun !! 
So this is actually great news !!
And I have discussed in past posts there are many, many words that are essentially interchangeable between the two languages.
Words that you can immediately recognize like universidad, revolución,
problema etc.,
And it goes even into more detail than that. Not just the words but there are also speaking patterns that are similar between the two.
If you are in una clase tradicional you could completely skip
these similitudes.
So if you get engrossed in studying las diferecias triviales in the text book stuff you will miss the really la gran oportunidad in learning espanol in an efficient and thorough way !!
And the biggest opportunity is to make use of the similar speaking patterns so you can start to speak spanish in a flowing manner right away !!
Here’s some examples of what I am trying to get across……..
Much like English you can talk about the future in Spanish by saying, voy !! Which means talking about the future.
voy a comer.
I am going to eat.
voy a invitar a mi profesor a la fiesta.
I am going to invite my teacher to the party.
voy a visitar a mi amigo mañana.
I am going to visit my friend tomorrow.
As in English there’s also a pattern in Spanish for speaking about
something that you just did. In English we say, “I just + (verb) “while
in Spanish you say acabo de + (verbo)
It works like this,
Acabo de escuchar el peor chiste del mundo.
I just heard the worst joke in the world.
Acabo de comer.
I just ate
Acabo de hablar con mi amigo.
I just spoke with my friend.
Acabo de aprender a hablar del futuro en español.
I just learned to speak about the future in Spanish.
Acabo de aprender mas español con Roberto.
I just learned more Spanish with Roberto.
Now isn’t it easy to see how identifying relatively easy speaking pattern can result in learning more Spanish ?
You will learn way more Spanish this way than learning from text books about pronouns, verbs, grammatical correct sentences etc…
These Spanish patterns will help get you in the ballgame right away to speaking Espanol !
And do not forget about our Flagship program, Synergy Spanish, that will help you do this and much, much more. We are talking about taking 140 Spanish words and turning them into 189,000 useful Spanish words and sentences with this Program!!
