Hi, in speaking to my Spanish speaking friends about how the words and sentences are structured, they've told me to just go with it...that it is "just the way it is in Spanish." They keep telling me to stop trying so hard to associate the exact placement and structure to the way we speak it in English...that each language has it's own rules and to roll with it...that spending too much time trying to translate word-for-word will hinder my learning process. I've listened to them to a degree and it seems they are right. I trust them because these are people whose primary language is Latin American Spanish and they had to learn English as their second language...and this is how they were able to learn English....just by accepting English for it's own rules. Basically, just roll with the language and learn it for it's own uniqueness and it will sink in...you'll get it before no time.
