Translation of Beistand

I have studied French for many hours per week, and I've even lived in Geneva for a while... my French was good than. Today, I have forgotten most of it. I have to re-learn and Vocabulix can help.
Everything's fine over here. The weather is a bit crazy, but otherwise everything is ok. I wrote this one based on what you gave me previously. This is a very common form of saying it in Spanish outside Argentina.
Now I am learning by other means, such as reading and writing. I can not begin with conjugation training because I lack the basic knowledge. How are you learning at this site and which is your best lesson?
