Would you use I want so much in Spain? It seems to have been introduced so early, yet in Britain, we always say I want don't get! (I know that's terrible grammar!) but it's because we want our kids to use a more polite form of asking. Does this also apply in Spanish speaking countries?

[SeanCathey]

Not sure, but the Collins Spanish course teaches "Quisiera" (from Queder), translated "I would like", before introducing "I want". They says its more polite.

I wrote, "I want a little soap" why is this wrong?

[SchneiderMorgan]

Sopa is actually soup in Spanish. I know. I get confused, too.

[guadamarie]

Why is "I need less soup" wrong?

[dessiner]

'Quiero' means 'I want'. 'I need' is 'necesito'. They are not necesarily the same.
