Yeah, like the title says, I speak English, Spanish and I know basic French (like really basic French) I can help with anything. I know Spanish inside and out because I am Central American. I know a lot of grammar and sentence stucture as well as any other thing you might need. It's pretty similar with English. you can write to me if you need help. I can also proof read really well!

Examples: English: _John's_ car is big Spanish: El auto de Juan es grande Use of genitive: the appostrophe after "John" is the way English manages the genitive, whereas in Spanish is managed through the "de" preposition (lit: The car of John is big). English: I'm talking to _her_ Spanish: Le hablo a ella Use of accusative: "her" is the accusative for "she", whereas in spanish is the same pronoun ("ella"). Furthermore, English lacks of reflexive verbs and you'll have to use some auxiliary words such as "myself", "yourself", etc, to indicate that the verb is reflected over the pronoun: English: I'm dressing myself Spanish: _me_ estoy vistiendo Spanish: sentarse English: to sit oneself. Another example would be that the spanish distinguish between a property inherent to the substantive and a transitive one. For the first, you use the verb "ser" and for the last, the verb "estar". In English both cases uses the verb "to be". And what about the auxiliary verbs? English rely heavily on their use: do, does, have, will, shall, could, would, etc, whereas in Spanish there are very few cases (i.e. in the perfect past tense, the verb "haber"): English: I _will_ do my homework Spanish: Yo haré mi tarea In this case, the verb "do" does not suffer a grammatical change (instead it uses the auxiliar verb "will"), but in the spanish translation, the verb "hacer" actually changed and no auxiliar verb is used. Adjectives are another good example. English qualifies a substantive by placing the adjective before it, but the Spanish does so in two ways: by using the preposition "de" ("of") followed by the adjective (when describing a substantive's property or accident), or simply by placing it before or after the substantive (when describing a somewhat subjective attribute): English: the crystal glass Spanish: el vaso de cristal English: the long road Spanish: el largo camino / el camino largo And don't get me started on the order that a (sintactically correct) sentence must have. Suffice to say that in English the order of the sentence's part (pronoun, subject, verb, complements, etc) DOES matter and you can change the entire meaning of the sentence by misplacing such parts, whereas in spanish the order (most of the times) does not matter. English: I walk next to the river. Spanish: Camino junto al río / Junto al río yo camino / yo, junto al río, camino / Junto al río camino yo English: "The coffee cup" means a cup made of coffee whereas "The cup of coffee" means a cup that contains coffee in it. Spanish: "La taza de café" could have both meanings and there's no way to distinguish between both other than the context (and the common sense). Those were some examples on the differences between both languages. Sure, they share some sounds and words, if only because all the western languages have common latin and greek roots. But that's all about the similarities. Grammars are really different. Regards, KK. KK. === Everybody's trying to make us another century of fakers.

o....k what I meant is that 'I know a lot of grammar and sentence stucture as well as any other thing you might need' in English, not that English is similar to spanish even though it has its similarities.

At any rate, I never studied computer science at college, so I really couldn't give you an accurate recommendation. That said, I can tell you that the UNAM is just great, at least at science level. The Science Faculty has great activity and I'm pretty sure that it's the best in the country. There is this "Computer Science" career (BC if you prefer) and for what I could tell it seems to have an acceptable level. However, in general, I'm kinda disappointed with this career in particular in all the Hispanic world (Latin America and Spain --specially Spain). Through all these years I've been an active member in several forums, trying to help other fellows (particularly at www.lawebdelprogramador.com). Most of the posts are from universities and I've got to say, the questions are most of the time stupid: considering that they SHOULD have already learned many concepts; sometimes I have to explain what their teachers should have. So my feelings towards CS career in the Hispanic world are kinda mixed. IMHO you can get acceptable levels at UNAM, perhaps the IPN and (if you can afford it) a similar level in the ITESM or ITAM (I studied applied math in the latter and it really sucked, so I switched to the UNAM; but I've met some good programmers from there). But my experience as a professional is kinda disappointing (suffice to say that when I was 21, I was the main programmer in the enterprise where I was working at the time: just imagine that...). My conclusion would be that yes, there are good places here to study, some very expensive and some free (I pay fifty cents a year in the UNAM :S). But if you study here, you'll have to complement it with self studies, if you want to succeed, because it seems that many topics are either not taught correctly or both the teacher and the student just don't care. That's my two cents. As I said, I never studied CS in a college and I definitely cannot compare it to American or European colleges (except, perhaps, Spain). Anyway, hope this helps.
