Sentido

Antes de empiezar este "blog post", quiero que decir a todos que estoy estudiando en Instituto Cervantes, y gracias por las herramientas para aprender el castellano en internet, fui calificado a entrar como un estudiante intermedio, y ya no tengo que entrar a través de niveles iniciales. Bueno, gracias a esta comunidad, es una ayuda muy grande para mí.

Bueno, este es mi primer poema en castellano, y sé que no tengo muchos amigos en mi país a pueden entenderlo, pero porque tengo, sin embargo, un… Continue

Mi primera vez en Instituto Cervantes (Manila)

(originalmente publicado en mi blog en inglés, http://jimjim875.multiply.com)

Since we were dismissed early from Management class, thankfully I had a lot of time to catch up with one of my hobbies: learning Spanish. It has been six months since I started learning Spanish on my own. But with the uncertainty of one's level of competence that is inevitably part of self-study, I for a long time wanted to see how my Spanish measured up. So I signed up for a diagnostic exam at the official Spanish la… Continue

Travel to Nicaragua!

Hola amigos de Rojas Spanish, I recently started a small group travel company, ¡Un Buen Viaje!, to guide adventurous travelers through Nicaragua in Central America. If anyone has any questions about Nicaragua, I'd be happy to try to answer them. If anyone has an interest in traveling in this heart-warming county, I'd love to take you! You can read more about upcoming tours at www.ToursToNicaragua.com. - Jessica

should I go

There's very little in the way of good news around the twin cities right now.

The only good news I've got recently is that I've been shortlisted.
So says the Britsh NGO I've applied to. They're in Peru right now and won't return to the UK until the 22nd of Jan., when they will be able to give the final word on who they select for their coordinator of herpetologial inventory. If it's me, I'll have to prepare to travel to Peru this Summer, and stay there for a full year.

So I'm a bit uncertain r… Continue

Rojas Spanish Community - Social Network

Welcome to the Rojas Spanish Social Network.
This network brings together Spanish Language students, lovers of the Hispanic culture, expats living in Spanish speaking countries and travelers to Latin America and Spain. It is managed by Rojas Spanish Language in Saint Paul Minnesota, U.S.A.

Rather than an online Spanish class, this site intends to be a bridge to those who are currently in transition to or from living or traveling in a Hispanic country. Tell us about your experiences related to using Spanish to communicate. Tell us what you found interesting, attractive or difficult in adjusting to the culture. Is the language and your knowledge of the culture a fascinating element that you employ when you need to get something done? Or are you finding that it is insinuating itself in your life and changing you? How? What is the one story or memory that comes to mind when you think about your time in a Spanish speaking country. Why do you think this particular memory comes to mind? This site is a place you can connect with others that have experienced what you have.

Share your experiences and insights; share your favorite Latin music, recipes, travel destinations, historical/cultural/traditional insights. Share your pictures, your videos or just your thoughts and meet others who have similar interests in the Hispanic culture, history, geography, food, ideology, literature, art / architecture and the Spanish language. Welcome!
