My Journey into Spanish

Learning Spanish: As a beginner, I’ve been primarily using Duolingo and occasionally Dots for a change in pace. I’m eventually planning to transition more to Babbel, and when I’m more comfortable with vocabulary and basic grammar, I’m planning to go to Pimsleur (will also look more into Memrise and Teuida as well.)

"Love Me with All Your Heart" is a #popular song, based on the #SpanishLanguage song "#CuandoCalientaElSol", originally composed as "Cuando Calienta El Sol En Masachapa". The music was written by Rafael Gastón Pérez, a Nicaraguan songwriter and bandleader. SADAIC (the Argentine Society of Music Authors and Composers) also credits the Argentine composer, Carlos Albert Martinoli.

Okay... so I was on the verge of being fluent in Spanish during my teens.

Then I did not use it for a number of years.

Then my brother got married in Mexico. So I learned enough, for travel. I remember asking our taxi driver "Es posible comer en el coche?"

Then I did not use it for a number of years.

Now, I can utter some word, but sentences are difficult. It is pitiful.

Does anyone have references to TV shows in Spanish that are hopefully not too sucky. I've just put on a telenovela and within 5 seconds I was laughing at it, not with it.

For the record, I used Friends to polish my English.

It would be preferable if the accent and vocabulary is one I'm likely to encounter in the US.

I love how the logo of the recent Manila Spanish Film Festival organized by the #InstitutoCervantes leans into how #Tagalog has nearly ⅓ of its vocabulary coming from Spanish, including the key word “pelikula” from “película”. Even the other “film” loanword “sine” comes from “cine”. (Interestingly, the word “sinehan”, for “theater” or “movie house”, combines the Spanish loanword with the locative Tagalog suffix “-an”.)
