How to learn Spanish from the scratch

Spanish course
How to learn Spanish from the scratch.
If you want to learn Spanish from the scratch, you have to learn the method that children use. They learn how to speak first and then they learn the grammar when they are about 6 years old. 

I recommend you to learn the phonetics first so that you'll be able to pronounce the words and even read correctly.

You can also learn basic sentences and expressions and the easiest way to reply questions.

It's also good to learn words that are similar to the English language because you will get familiar with them and there's no need to use a dictionary for the meaning. You'll save a lot of time. This words are called "Cognates" or "Cognados" in Spanish 


For example:


English - Spanish
banana - banano
car - carro
guitar - guitarra
general - general
famous - famoso
automatic - automático
machine - máquina
computer - computadora
family - familia
magic - magia
center - centro
radio - radio



We are developing a begineer's Spanish Course that will include Phonetics, tips to learn faster and many common expressions, common words, a set of Mp3 and you'll be able to have consultancy by email or skype. Wait for it soon!

All that glitters is not gold

all that glitters is not gold
no todo lo que brilla es oro
No todo lo que brilla es oro. It means that something pleasing to the eye may not in reality be what it seems.
no todo lo que brilla es oroNo todo lo que aparentemente se ve bien, funciona y es fantástico es bueno; o no toda persona que te ayuda, que sabe muchas cosa y te impresiona es buena.

Example:

You: I saw a chinese watch on the internet, it's really cool. 
Your friend: You'd better not buy it because it is disposable, all that glitters is not gold.

Tu: Vi un reloj chino en el internet, está muy padre.
Tu amigo: No deberías comprarlo porque son desechables, no todo lo que brilla es oro.
