HOW TO LEARN SPANISH AND STICK AT IT

• Approach the task of learning Spanish as project that will take time and dedication. Learning a new language is a long time process. Set up your goals and be realistic. If you want to learn Spanish just because you are visiting a Spanish speaking country for two weeks and would like to be able to communicate with local residents, that’s not going to happen. During the Beginners course you will learn some vocabulary, will start getting trained in good pronunciation, and learn the ABC’s of grammar that will allow you to express basic ideas in the present tense. But there is much more to learning the language. it’s important to understand the the Beginners course is just the first step on the journey. 

• Enjoy the pleasure and sense of achievement you get from learning new words, grammar, and being able to start expressing yourself in your new language. 

• Explore different tools to get exposed to the language. Movies, podcasts, and music are great tools for learning Spanish. They improve listening and speaking, teach you new words and phrases, and show you how the language sounds and is used in real life situations. 

• Think of ways to immerse yourself into Spanish. Whether by talking to yourself, or keeping a diary or notebook in Spanish will keep you motivated to look for new words and ways to express yourself. 

• Make the most out of your travelling to Spanish speaking countries by  avoiding the so call “tourists traps” where everybody speaks English. Experience the local culture. The most rewarding interactions you’ll have are from situations where Spanish is the only option.
