Hey

[Babylon]

Hey I'm Eric and I want to learn Spanish. Could you guys help me? I'd appreciate that. I just know some pretty basic stuff like : Hola and Qué pasó and so on.

What are you using to learn it? Are there a lot of speakers in your area?
We can't help you unless you help yourself, you have to learn on your own and the natives here will help you, they can't teach you here, it's impractical, especially when there's 1000000 Spanish courses out there.

I see. Thank you for your reply. I'll buy some books and learn something from the Internet and I'll ask you about stuff I won't understand. Muchas gracias.

I just wanted to know If I can count on this site for advice.

Por supuesto como te ha dicho John, aprender es cosa tuya, y nosotros resolveremos tus dudas
Of course as John told you, learning is your duty, and we'll solve any doubt you have

No problem, and make sure you get good learning materials. I recommend browsing the forum of how-to-learn-any-language.com, I don't really like the forum THAT much, but I'll admit, there are a good bit of threads on learning programs/methods. Assimil, FSI, Teach yourself, L-R, etc. That's how I learned what I know and am now using in regards to language learning.

In my experience, yes. It may take a while to get feedback (like a day, max), the languages subforums aren't super active, but you'll get feedback. Especially in this forum, Loqu and Nunia (and sometimes Serafín) are pretty good about making corrections, and some of us nonnatives make corrections if we notice errors.
