We 56 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: have plenty of time, to be honest, when you think 57 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: about it, oh it's one month, two months, it's not 58 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 4: enough time.

So we 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 4: can definitely help you here. And obviously, you know, we 61 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 4: will concentrate on things that you can't say in a 62 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 4: real life situation because often when you have a look 63 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 4: at the books and all this other material, it may 64 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 4: not be the best way of fast tracking your learning. 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: So this is. 66 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: Why we are here to help you with this process 67 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 4: and we can definitely definitely make some serious progress retired 68 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 4: to help you with this. 69 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: Leana, what's the hardest part of Spanish learning Spanish for 70 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: people to learn, is it, for example, the rolling beards 71 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: or the because that's important? 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: Well, it is, I mean it is, but to be honest, 73 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 4: it's not the end of the world. You cannot do it, 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 4: you know. As a the way we do it, but 75 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 4: it's definitely one of the things that you know, English 76 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: speakers struggle with. I will say, there are other things 77 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: that we don't have in English. Grammar, for example, we 78 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: don't have in English we have to be. In Spanish 79 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 4: we have said and start, and this can be a 80 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 4: little bit confusing for a students sometimes. Then yes, yes, yes, 81 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 4: but again we're explaining what the differences are more. Yes, 82 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 4: we have things like the masculine and the feminine for now, Yeah, 83 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 4: this is what gets made. 84 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: This is language, This is the law and the l Right. 85 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 4: Well, you know there is always like an option for 86 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 4: or this is a masculine object, this is a feminine 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: so we we we explain this again in class, you know, 88 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: but in English and everything is pretty much neutral, so 89 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 4: we don't have that. Yes, and there are other bits 90 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: of pieces, you know, like we have what we call 91 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: the false friends. So it's referring to words that sounds 92 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 4: similar to English and Spanish, but they mean completely different things. 93 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: So for example, in English you can say embarrassed and 94 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 4: in Spanish you say that's embarrassada, but the barrassada means 95 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 4: pregnant in Spanish. 96 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: Don't want to you're going to be embarrassada. 97 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: If you say that, when do you think we'd be 98 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: able to start classes with him? 99 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: We can study in October. 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 3: No, you're going to help ustle in Spanish. 101 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: But what other languages are on offer at the Multicultural 102 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: Language Center? 103 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.
