donde=where
quien=who
porque?= why porque.=because
cuando=when

[Sonrisa]

yeah, i do have a hard time remembering words for the lack of practice, but i do bother all of my spanish speaking coworkers by practicing on them.

to be honest i am trying to learn japanese at the same time, so i got japanese words on my right, and spanish on my left, lol.

and when i get home i try to just walk around and pronounce them all.

nosotros volvemos

saber - to know

(in spanish a b sounds like a v. savemos.)

decir -to say

yo digo
tu dices
el dice
ellos dicen
nosotros decimos

dar - to give

yo doy
tu das

ellos dan
nosotros damos

yo te doy lecciones de espaniol. (i do that just to make nomas mad jeje.)

[misombra]

this is how you say you have to do something...

tener que ___________

yo tengo que volver
tu tienes que ir
el tiene que empezar
ellos tienen que decir
nosotros tenemos que dar.

after a while you won't have to put the yo, tu, and all that in front of the word.

if someone says "tienes que hacer algo" you automatically know it means you have to do something. you don't have to say tu tienes...

un otro verbo que debes saber. (another verb you should know...)

hacer- to do

hago
haces
hace
hacen
hacemos
