Could you elaborate as to why this is? Please do so with proper spelling LOL The above is meant to be applicable to Spanish speaking individuals. In Spanish, vowels are pronounced the way they are written. In other words, all you need to memorize is the sound of five vowels, therefore, the way it is written, is the way it sounds. For the most part, asking to "how to spell a word" is equivalent of asking how to speak <g> [non Spanish speaking persons would be obvious exception to this]. The only instances in which it would be "somehow" logical to ask "how to spell it" are mainly words that contain "sc", s, soft c, <c with e ir i>, and z... and even then you would be sadly displaying your poor knowledge of orthography. It also would be limited to specific regional accents, and/or words that are not widely known, such as technical vocabularies. The difficult part in learning Spanish are the verb conjugations.... in English, such thing is almost non-existent --but I am not an expert. Now in German, the real bitch are declinations... That really is confusing... I started to learn it, and at one point I was even capable of communicating, (it helped the fact that at one point, I had a German and Swiss girlfriends) <g> --although different time frames <G> Have you ever had an angry female bark at you in German ? NOT PRETTY !! Aber ich habe alles vergessen ! <G> including the language !
