hi all,
spain and spanish..something is really pulling me in this culture..i wanna know more..i wanna learn is there good sociology or social physcology graduates in spain in english?
estoy esperando su answer.bye

I am learning Spanish. Spanish seems easier to me because it resembles Turkish.

I can help you and can you help me in Spanish

Hmm, just spelling and pronounciation are a bit similar, wait until you´re a bit deeper into Spanish and  you´ll see how completely different they are

Hola chicos. Estoy de inglatera pero he vivido en espana hace siete anos. Estudio türkçe y espanol juntos. Es muy complicado estudiar dos lenguas al mismo tiempo! ( Hello all. I am from England but l have lived in Spain for 7 years. I study turkish and spanish together. It is very complicated learning 2 languages at the same time!)

My spanish translation is probably incorrect!!

Having studied really hard yesterday with turkish I couldn´t even remember how to say hello in spanish!!

What a great site this is!!!  It´s a pity there is not a similar one for Spanish learners.

How are you managing to learn both languages at once? I want to go back to studying Spanish myself -  I used to take a few classes a while back, and I´m just trying to figure out how to do both. Do you study both every day? Do you alternate days? Do you get them mixed up? 

 Your Spanish wasn´t that bad, just remember that you must say "Soy de Inglaterra", you use the verb "ser" to express where you are from, and you can´t use the pretérito perfecto + hace, you have to say "Viví en España hace 7 años", you need to use the pretérito indefinido when you use hace+time expressions.

Hi melek,

I have been learning Spanish for four years and I am still rubbish at it!! Before then I was learning turkish so when I came to learn spanish I forgot all the turkish I had learnt!!! Anyway, hubby and I are thinking of visting Turkey again on an extended holiday so I thought I would brush up on my turkish. Brush up!!!! I have to relearn everything and now I am getting confused with my spanish!!

I have been really cramming the turkish over the last 2 days and couldn´t remember how to say hello in spanish this morning. Very confusing!! How do kids learn 2 or 3 languages at school at the same time???? I suppose they cope because they are young...lol.

Hi Iceheart,

Thanks for the corrections. I haven´t really studied for a couple of years and could never get to grips with the past tense. I think that it´s´ a problem of being self taught. I should have known it was "soy"...I´ve used it often enough...lol.  I need to stop one or the other! I was amazed at how turkish much I had forgotten after not using it at all for 9 years. I have to start from the beginning again!!

I wonder if it would be a good idea to use one foreign language to learn another - for example use Turkish resources to learn Spanish. I found a couple of websites in Turkish that might be helpful with that:

That way we could kill two birds with one stone and practice both languages at the same time.

I know that´s feasible, I am using English to learn Turkish, even though Polish is my native language, but I´m just not sure how well one needs to speak Turkish to really benefit from the above idea.

Melek, you could be right. I have just had a quick look at them and it may possibly work as long as I can hold up the spanish side and don´t have to convert to english first...lol. My problem would be with the past tenses coz I never remember which one to use and their verb endings...that is down to me not putting the effort in at the end of the day!!! I´ll give it a go tho´.

Thanks for that.
