roflolamo!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry. all the spanish i learned was from one semester of the class. anyways...
Sup. If you want to learn the basics read the "programmers guide" in the basic4gl folder. that should at least get you started. after that just post your questions here that it doesn't answer (and it doesn't answer very many). and this is probly the easiest language to learn. well, have fun : )

I would Start with Text, Variables, and user input(such as the keyboard)
Dim (used to declare variables for use in a program) Print (used to Draw Text to the Screen) Locate (used to set teh position to draw text to the screen) Inkey$ (used to get key information from teh keyboard)

I say ... Do what you think is right. I mean, when I first started programming, I got excited about typing:
Print"Some text"
I then looked at a program to set a target, know what that program was? A 2D ball using sprite, bouncing around the screen, I can now do that in 3D and add some funky effects. My favourite thing to do at the moment which I've learned alot about is spheres. Just practice, you'll pick up easy.

Ok well english is the hardest language in the world to learn thats the first part although to program I game or whatever you don't need to learn much english just whatever the language uses. Another thing is ASP for me is actually easier than basic4GL, but ASP is very limited.
Another problem I've found while learning basic4GL is that 3D programming is very hard what I mean to get results like Quake is hard. 2D games if you have the patience in drawing graphics is quite easy but the easiest type of game to make is a text based one as all you need is input and a little bit of knowledge
Thats my 2 cents Wayne Rayner

The best help I can give you is to take a look at all the examples in the Programs folder that comes supplied with Basic4GL. You might find something useful amongst them that can help your learning.

Actually if you are wanting to make the next quake or doom look at either the corridor or the walk demo or something like that. They are execellent examples and I think twasik used the corridor and made something out of it.
Also the best way to learn is to practise--never give up.
