    When I started learning Spanish at university in Germany at about 20, I still didn't know that I'd be living later on in Spain, being married to a Spaniard, speaking the language day in day out. The thrill and fascination of the language fades away when it turns into a common tool but it sometimes happens when I'm travelling in Spain , France or Germany and people hear me speaking Spanish that I notice reactions of people being amazed. Then I notice again that it is an achievement having reached this level.

Spanish helped me in learning Portuguese when I'd started with it and today my Portuguese is better than my Spanish since I use it daily with my Brazilian wife.

    I started taking Spanish classes at age 14 in high school. I ended up with a BA in Spanish.i can speak spanish fluently when i am using it everyday. My accent is decent. I am not mistaken for a natice speaker generally . However i have had multiple occaisons whenr spanish soeakers thoughr my parents were feom Latin America, Because i grew up in New.jersey with a mother feom the Deep South, i heard 2 different dialects of English everyday. It helped me to pick up on subtle difference in pronounciation, different vocabulay etc. I can mimic many dialects of English. I was able to apply this to Spanish . Knowing Spanish has been very helpful at getting jobs. 2 candidates with similar skills nd education, being bilingual gives me and edge over others . And i can read and write Spanish as well. Many people who speak spanish athome never formally learn Spanish. So they can not fully comprehend written Spanish. Nor can they write a formal letter wirh proper grammar. Which can lead to misunderstandings. I had a professor from Uruguay. She showed us several articles about how even if you are not a native speaker you can still have an edge over the muriad of Spanish/English bilingual people. You have a broader perspective on many things by being bilingual. Being rhe the US having spanish media acailable gice opportunity to hear Spanish everyday. In high scool i would listen spanish language radio, watch Spanish language TV. The availbilty of Spanish media along with a giod education in various cultures in the spanush speakig world is invaluable.

    Best of luck to you, брат! You already speak more languages than most people do, so you’re doing great. I speak English (native) & Spanish (nearly native-Latino family). And I’m currently learning Brazilian Portuguese & Indonesian daily, while I also study Haitian Creole (3 times a week), & (admittedly) BARELY learning any Ukrainian, Russian, & Swahili. But I did memorize the Cyrillic letters in both Slavic languages, so I can read in Ukrainian & Russian (even though I don’t understand 95% of the words unless it sounds similar to English or Spanish like мотор😂) I do like how Ukrainian sounds way more phonetic than Russian, especially with the «о» not sometimes sounding like “ah” like in Russian’s «мОтор» & «мОлОко». My grandpa was Ukrainian, so it’d be cool to learn a little regardless.

    TV is huge for me. I think TV is to me what stories are to Olly. I grew up in the West Indies, an are not populous enough for US cable to care about specifically, so we got lumped in with Latin America. So I grew up always seeing ads in Spanish and often watching movies as well. School wise, I dropped Spanish after year 2 on 7-years of secondary school, but kept French all the way through. Yet still ended up taking French and Spanish at uni. I was able to test into the Spanish program because of TV. Now, I rarely watch TV in my native language - English - or my daily use language -Japanese. I find TV an easy way to keep other languages active in my brain. Plus, it really does widen your options and your world. I also think, languages and regions have certain themes that pop up a lot. For example, nobody does revolution themes like Latin America. If you like dystopian, you can find some really good shows in Spanish and Portuguese..

By the way, one more reason for learning Spanish could be their counter culture, I mean the Spanish people's not always abiding by the capitalism, speaking against the tyranny, etc. Of course, there are many respectable people in English or other language cultures doing the same but the Spanish do it in a particular brave manner which makes you wanna learn Spanish.

En la oración "En 10 minutos como", podemos decir "En 10 minutos voy a comer" si consideramos que la acción pertenece a un futuro y no tanto al momento actual (depende del hablante) Para futuros más lejanos, pero no tan lejanos utilizamos el "Ir a (infinitivo)". Ej: "Mañana va a llover" (Tomorrow is going to rain). Si el hablante considera que el día de Mañana es un futuro lejano, entonces también se acepta "Mañana lloverá" (Tomorrow it will rain). PAra futuros más lejanos, utilizamos el futuro simple también, como el inglés. Ej: "En 10 años estaré en Europa" (In 10 years, I will be in Europe) Al igual que el inglés, utilizaremos el futuro compuesto (will infinitive) o futuro simple (will have + participle), dependiendo de si queremos decir que esa acción se habrá finalizado o finalizará.
