One thing that is important when trying to learn vocabulary is to learn things in context. I think that memorizing with flashcards for instance is only so useful. Basically, the best way yo learn the vocabulary is to use it through speaking meaningful sentences. I also think that if you are memorizing, its good to memorize sentences rather than individual words. Those sentences will stick with you and you will simultaneously learn vocabulary and grammar at the same time. For instance sites like thisinarabic com and thisinspanish com are very useful for learning sentences.

Pobres españoles….pero en fin.Creo que la culpa de todas estas discusiones es por las distribuidoras que nos mandan programas con ese horripilante acento, que, no dudo, aun les gusta a algunos aburridos nostalgicos. Poco queda de esa España de Cervantes y Lope de Vega

You didn’t Try Arabic , so you don’t know what you are talking about

Arabic is the hardest language ever to learn and pronounce
it has letters with unique pronouncation
Arabic Grammer is IMPOSSIBLE to lear for a foreigner
they are complicated to death
the one word in arabic may have tens of meaning
It is hard to the extent that 99 % of arabic peoples don’t speak the real ” Arabic ” with its real grammers
not they are interested , but they really can’t !!!!

Comment on Aprendendo Português? Fique de olho nestas palavras! by Gabriel James V. from Grobbel

Vale lembrar que puto no português do Brasil é uma ofensa para uma pessoa.

No brasil não é muito comum usar TU, usa-se mais o Você. Vale lembrar que conjuga-se na 3 pessoa o você. Também não é comum usar vós, usa-se vocês. Em regiôes litorâneas e no Sul do Brasil atè se usa o Tu, mas conjuga-se errado e , em outros lugares, é uma maneira desrespeitosa de se referir a uma pessoa.

Obviamente el mejor doblaje es el mexicano ya q éste definitavamente es neutro (por más q los españoles lo nieguen) y suena perfecto ante los oídos d casi TODOS los hispanohablantes y no como ese español d España donde, como ya se ha dicho, tiene ese acento tan marcado y desagradable además d esas expresiones propias d ese país.
