Be Able To

To be able to do something means to have the ability to do it. Be able to is sometimes used in place of can or could. Instead of, "I can't go," you might say, "I am not able to go."

You can use be able to in any tense. Just change the tense of the verb be. For example, you can say, "I was able to see a movie last night," or, "He will be able to visit me tomorrow."

I like music and I am able to sing, too. People say I have a nice voice. I am able to sing Russian, English and French songs. I like foreign languages and I'm studying Spanish now, so, I hope that soon I will be able to speak Spanish or I can speak Spanish soon ( both expressions are equivalent). What is you idea, Will I be able or can I speak Spanish after three months of studuing?

May be there is somebody on Ebaby, who will be able to help me to learn Spanish? 

Hope to receive some reply from Spanish speaking persons on Ebaby.

Best regards, Lara
