Hi, I've been learning some german and spanish over the last couple of years. I suck at both. At the moment I've been studiying just spanish and I'm forgetting my german, so I need to know are there any prog rock websites in german or spansih where I can practice, to improve my spanish and maintain my german. Ich spreche sheißer deutsch. Hablo mierda español.
danke/gracias.

This one http://www.dlsi.ua.es/~inesta/Prog/SPE/index.html#A is in English, but many bands' pages contain links to reviews in Spanish.

This Spanish site is quite good. It does not have a forum as such but users can post comments on the articles published. You have news, assorted articles on Prog, album reviews, album lyrics some of them with their Spanish translations, concert reviews...

This other Spanish site does not have a forum either but you can practice reading, it's not only about Prog, it's like an encyclopedia of all Spanish music, but if you go to 'grupos' (bands') you can get the bio and discography (with comments / review of each album) of all bands. Do not trust the filters of 'style' and 'decade' as they do not work and most bands will not be listed, you need to search for each specific band using the alphabetic index.


So you can practice reading about Spanish prog bands, to find Prog ones you can use the PA tool to select the Spanish bands in PA, of course not all are here in PA but the most important are.

Many thanks, although it seems that when it comes to prog music, non-english speakers don't use forums Ouch

^ Non-English speakers? You mean people for whom English is not a native tongue? I don't know how you've come to that, but this forum is heavily multi-national.

^The thing is, you need to communicate in English on here - unless you find some friends you can PM with.
I'm not really aware of other prog fora, but that's mainly because PA fulfils my every needSax man

Not a surprise, even in a worldwide prog forum like PA we are not that many regulars, I can imagine that in a forum exclusively for Germans it might be just 2 or 3 guys posting among them, they better send emails to each other or use Whatsapp LOL

Hey thanks, this looks really promising.Smile
It also has a german site. Sinfomusic seems the most similar to the prog archives in structure.
