Marx seems to have developed an early interest in Spanish in the 1840s, but it was only in the early ’50s that he systematically devoted himself to it. In 1853, he mentioned that he borrowed a concise Spanish grammar book from a friend. In 1854, he reported to Engels on his readings in Spanish and Italian:

At odd moments I am going in for Spanish. Have begun with Calderón.… I am reading in Spanish what I’d found impossible in French, Chateaubriand’s Atala and René, and some stuff by Bernardin de St-Pierre. Am now in the middle of Don Quixote. I find that a dictionary is more necessary in Spanish than in Italian at the start. By chance I have got hold of the Archivio triennale delle cose d’ltalia dall’avvenimento di Pio IX all’abbandono di Venezia [Three-year archive of Italian affairs from the time of Pius IX to the abandonment of Venice] etc. It’s the best thing about the Italian revolutionary party that I have read.

Marx’s immersion in Spanish helped him exploit original source

So, basically I kind of hate my job so I've been thinking on some way of trying to quit, which I find kind of hard to happen since anything else in my country would be way worse. For reference, I work remotely as an interpreter for a Venezuelan company in medical calls (sometimes also legal and business related). It's basically customer service with whiny people from the US.

But well, the thing is I believe I have a pretty good level of English, this work has helped me improve it, and also I've done some small tutoring here and there in both English and Spanish, plus I know some German and Japanese so I think I have a pretty good understanding of how languages work.

I could be very flexible with prices (for instance I am getting way less than the minimum wage in most US states), so I'm pretty sure I can charge you less than any person in your country. We could also do it through some libre software platform like Jitsi for privacy and such and I could pretty much adapt to something sp

This site has a few Castro speeches and a letter (to Chávez). If you look through the site there are many other speeches, too (menu > proyectos > discursos). Could be a good way of getting some Spanish input.

(I can't guarantee the speeches are real ones!)

listening to slow "folk" music usually is a good language learning tool, and Cuba Libre by Carlos Puebla is a very easy to understand album. Mira Yanki como nos reimos is also a good meme source.

Edit: I also recently discovered Por qué No Se Van which is also really cool, but it is from Chile so their slightly different pronunciation might trip some folks.

Here's a playlist on YouTube that includes 'game movies'. Someone has taken all the story parts of games and edited them together into movies. The whole list is in Spanish but note that some only have Spanish subtitles whereas others have Spanish subtitles and Spanish audio.

Anki is spaced-repetition software. It works on the basis of the 'forgetting curve'. The idea is that new information is soon forgotten but if you remind yourself an hour later, you'll remember till the next day; and if you remind yourself the next day, you'll remember till next week; and if you remind yourself next week, you'll remember for a month, etc.

I've heard that one of the better ways to use Anki is creating your own decks. Personally, I find this to be a lot of effort. Too much for me to bother making individual cards.

I am experimenting with new ways to make cards. I'm no expert but here's what I have found.

The first way is to use Google sheets. In column 1, include a native language word or phrase. There's a formula to translate each of these into your target language using country codes.

For English to Spanish, click cell B1 and enter =GOOGLETRANSLATE(A1,"en","es"). Tap enter. Now click cell B1 then click and hold the 'drag button' in the bottom right of the cell an

Hola amigos,

Hay muchos videojuegos divertidos. Muchos menos con audio o subtítulos españoles. Pero hay algunos.

Skyrim y Fallout 4 continenen muchísimos textos y audios. También Batman: Arkham Knight, Dying Light, Civilisation VI y Dragon Age: Inquisition. Quizás Spiderman. Last of Us, Unchartered, tienen audios y textos pero no tanto cómo estos otros. Pienso FIFA también. (Ten cuidado con Batman y Spiderman porque es fácil que utilizo dinero real en los menus cuando el idioma está menos familiares. No caes en esa trampa.)

Divinity: Original Sin y Red Dead Redemption (y otros juegos rockstargames) tienen textos españoles al menos. Pensé que Divinity tiene audios pero parece que no.

Esto es un listo mas largo de R****t:

• Bethesda stuff (Elder Scrolls, Fallout)
• Blizzard stuff (Diablo, WoW)
• Cyberpunk
• Monster Hunter World
• Witcher 1 [Witcher 3 has Spanish menus, subtitles, et

This is a parallel text experiment. It's not a my translation. It's the text from the Spanish and English editions on Marxists.org. There are some differences. I won't indent – it's all quotes, from the title onwards. (Edit: footnotes removed.) I'll split it into this into a post and a comment. Hispanohablantes, feel free to point out and correct errors.

Spanish first, then the English, alternating paragraphs.

Déjame saber si este es útil.

Let me know if this is useful.

Pensé que el texto seleccionado es relativamente fácil entender.

I thought that the text selected is relatively easy to understand.

**Mao Tse-tung, 'Stalin: Amigo del pueblo chino'.

… 'Stalin: Friend of the Chinese people'**

Este veintiuno de diciembre, el camarada Stalin cumplirá sesenta[uno] años. Es fácil imaginar que su cumpleaños suscitará cálidas y afectuosas

Hopefully this works. It might be time limited.

The 'Shorts' reel on the CGTN Español YouTube channel includes loads of short Xi quotes. The text is in English but the audio is in Spanish and there are Spanish subtitles. Looks like a good way to absorb some Spanish vocab, grammar, and pronunciation while learning about Xi.

Edit: better link (I hope)

I've not used this yet, but it could be useful for creating parallel texts for Spanish learners.

El conflicto ucraniano desenmascara a Occidente.

Rusia sigue luchando por la formación de un nuevo orden mundial justo, en el que terminará con la dictadura de Estados Unidos y surgirán nuevos polos de fuerza del mundo multipolar; y uno de ellos será la América Latina. …

No es nada nueva la política estadounidense de sabotear a los gobiernos soberanos, autónomos que no se les arrodillan, ¡revisemos la historia! durante la Guerra fría por ejemplo, Washington financió a los rebeldes radicales en la América Latina y participó activamente en el derrocamiento de los gobiernos latinoamericanos electos legítimamente, principalmente aquellos que colaboraron con La Unión soviética. Para esa fecha, la casa Blanca exhibía públicamente y sin pudor su ambición, convertir nuestro continente en su patio trasero y controlar rigurosamente todos los procesos que se desarrollan en la región. …

Una vez más la crisis de Ucrania demostró la arrogancia y el descaro de la política exterior de l

I’m about 80% through the Duolingo tree but I know there’s absolutely tons of words I still don’t know. Are they any IOS apps, websites or even games you could recommend to me?

For example the matching game on Duolingo is very helpful but it cycles through the same 100 or so words for me plus I don’t even have it anymore probably since I have not updated the app is over a year.

Thanks!

"Entre los días 5 al 10 de junio de 1967 las fuerzas sionistas, atacaron a los ejércitos de Egipto, Siria, Irak y Jordania bajo el pretexto, que las fuerzas egipcias apostadas en la península del Sinaí representaban un peligro para Israel. …"

('apostadas' significa 'posted'/'stationed')

Este artículo debe ser bastante comprensible para Marxistas aun si ya no logró un nivel alto en español.

Algunos cuestiones para otro aprendices de español:

1. ¿Que sucede en Asia Occidental en mil novecientos sesenta y siete?
2. ¿Quiénes eran los beligerantes?
3. ¿Que significa 'tergiversar'? (Lenin también usa mucho este palabra.)
4. ¿Qué te gusta o no gusta de este artículo?

Hispanohablantes, sentir bienvenidos a responder también.

(Feel free to correct my Spanish.)

This is probably really simple but I keep getting confused by which form I’m meant to use. Do I match it to the person I’m talking about or do I match it to the gender of the noun? And which part of the sentence do I use to determine whether I use the singular or plural?

For example “Le mando notas” means I send him notes. What about a singular note? If I’m sending her notes does it become la? If I was sending them notes would it be las or les? If notas is feminine why don’t I use la?

Is there a simple way to remember whatever the rule is? Thanks!

Este orador es claro si quieres escuchar una defensa de Stalin.

¿Que piensas?

(Habladores nativos: es aceptable usar "piensas" aqui en sitio de "piensa usted"?)

¿Cualquiera ha leído Sidi por Arturo Pérez-Reverte? Yo fue disfrutandola pero la historia tornó islamófobo de repente y luego se fue arruinar para mi. No lo sé si continuar con el libro.

Entonces yo busqué sus nombre y 'islamofobia' y retornó un artículo – sobre otra obra de él – cuyo introducción explicarlo perfectamente (https://www.laizquierdadiario.com/La-historia-de-Europa-segun-Perez-Reverte-una-leccion-de-ignorancia-islamofobia-y-neocolonialismo). Él utiliza

la lógica binaria "salvaje - civilizado", que tanto sirvió para deshumanizar a las gentes racializadas desde los tiempos de la explotación colonial, y para marginar y/o expulsar a todos aquellos que no cumplían con la "normalidad" …

Pero la "normalidad" de este libro parece europeos cristianos (y quizás los blancos).

¿Cualquiera has encontraste algo similar con otras novelas?

¿Es tan decepcionando, no?

(Si hay errores en mi español, correctalo si te quieras, pero no hace falta si no quieres.)

I thought to do this when I started reading the pinned post titled 'Listening-Reading Method and Spanish'.
