"es" unless you feel YOU are important in today's world.
and "el" before mundo.
I do feel I'm important in todays world

, regardless, that wasn't my original intention with the statement. It's little things like that which I make mistakes in.
I've got a long way to go, so far I'm doing alright, somewhere in the B's, but we haven't touched on the true future tense, for now we use voy a + infinitive.
I have particular problems with direct-object pronouns, figuring out when it's better to use lo instead of el, mi instead of me, te instead of ti, and remembering I can tack on the direct-object pronoun at the end of infinitive... Definitely not an easy language.
I agree, Bubonic. I'm learning it since it compliments my future background. Hopefully once I've got Spanish down, I'll move on to learning Arabic. That's where the big bucks are.

Especially for someone like me.
Tengo lecciones de internet y tengo dos libros españoles y un videojuego español tambien. Tengo tanto aprender.

Compliments your future background? Planning on finding yourself a guapísima chica?
I got heavy linguistic ambitions but I don't know if the reality will match up, Spanish gets quite hard at times and I'm not even deep in it.
English I can excel at, yet French, my mother tongue, I speak fluently yet can't write it worth for crap.
I'm taking Intensive Spanish as a 6 credit complimentary at university, which is a gamble with my GPA, but so far so good.
Planning on taking the intermediate, conversational, and maybe a literature class as complementaries if all goes well.
After school I'm not sure how I'll get around to learning new languages. Mandarin is what I want to learn though. For starters.
