Thread: Привет всем! Hola a todos

Привет всем!

Меня зобут Роман. Я живу в буэнос-Айресе, в Аргентине. Мне 19 лет. Я работаю сисадмином и учусь в университете.
Я говорю по-испанский, по-английски, по-немецкий и по-русский.

I study Russian since September (still at a basic level), with native teachers and the more i learn, the more i like this beautiful language. I'm willing to visit Russia in 2-3 years I also study German since December. I'm permanently looking for extra resources/information to improve the languages i learn, so that is how i found this website and forum. I hope i will improve my Russian here and... who knows! maybe one day i'll be able to help someone (with spanish or even Russian to a spanish/english speaker ).

Greetings!

Привет, Роман!

Hi Maria! My name isn't too popular but definitelly it's well known (Román in Spanish). There are notable difference in pronunciation of some consonants betweek Spain's Spanish and Argentinian one (letters s,c, z, y, ll, maybe another that i'm not remembering right now) and in grammar we change the pronouns "tu" for "vos" and "vosotros" for "ustedes" resulting in some little variations in the conjugations of the verbs in the second person singular form and second plural.

For example:

"You (singular) want..."
In Spain: "Tu quieres".
In Argentina "Vos querés".

"You (plural) run..."
S: "Vosotros corréis"
A: "Ustedes corren"

However we understand all variations of Spanish (In Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and other Latin American countries for example, they use "Tu" but don't use "Vosotros". Just focus on the one you are learning, later you can pay attention to the differences.
