Lightbulb Learn Spanish Thread! :'D

I thought I'd make a thread where we all can practice our Spanish, since I know most people take Spanish Class as an elective and don't use it regularly like we should. I'm personally not a big fan of the language, but I know it is the 2nd most spoken language in the world, so knowing it is helpful. ^^;

Remember everyone! Making mistakes is okay, that's how you learn. <3
So make sure to correct/help me if I mess up and I'll do the same! :'D

~
Anyway...I'll start off...

¿Hola, cómo estan/estaìs? <3 - Hello, how are you/you all?

Oh! Cool! There's a lot of Spanish-speakers that come into my workplace, and I'd love to be able to say something to them! One of the girls that works there speaks spanish, and I think it's so cool xD;

I actually can't think of any phrases though.. argh. Can you share some basics for a nub? '=)

Sure, I'm in Spanish 2 ( for the second time, they have a new book so I have to relearn some stuff ;__; ) so I guess I know atleast some of the basics. xD
Here's some random stuff that came to mind:

*Me llamo ____ - My name is ____ - literally: I am called ___
~(another way to say your name to someone) Mi nombre es ______

*¿Como te llamas? -What is your name?
*¡Tengo hambre! - I am hungry - literally: I have hunger!
*¡Me gusta comer las papas fritas! - I like to eat french fries!
*¿Donde está mi lapìz? - Where is my pencil?
*¿Qual es la fetcha de hoy? - What is the date today?
*¿Què dìa es hoy - What day is it today?
*¿Què te duele? - What hurts you?
*¡Me duele la cabeza! - My head hurts!

¡Gracias! ¡Creo que hablas español muy bien para clase de español uno! O:
Necesito practicar mi español mucho tambien, mi español es muy mal! xD

[EDIT] Oh yea, for "idea" you mean "ideal"...I think that's how you spell it....>w<
Also you should have wrote "Yo estoy" not "Yo està" 'cause "esta" is for "el/ella/usted" not "yo". :3
Other than that....muy bien!

We do 2 years of Spanish 1 at my school... or you can just do one (but then you have to do 2 years of another language's first level). I guess they think kids needed to get the foundations down really well. It's weird but just one year of the other Spanish levels.

A que el tiempo baja en Florida?
¿Por que quieres visitar xP? Esta muy fria ahora (en el invierno) y nieve mucho. Y cuando nieve, no puedes salir tu casa porque no puedes usar las calles.

I meant to ask "what's the lowest temperature it gets to in Florida?" but of course I can't really say that xP. I fail at life... or at least at Spanish.

Yeah, I'm not so exceptionally un-smart that I'd have to repeat Spanish 1. (Though there's nothing wrong with that.)
