Fun Spanish

By Noah M. Benjamin

When learning any language, the most important aspect of it is to have fun! That's why I highly recommend learning some "fun Spanish" as you learn the language. But what is fun Spanish, and how can it improve the language learning process?

The Best Way To Learn a Language

First I want to get into the best way to learn a language. Think back to when you were a baby. (This is the hardest part of the exercise, I swear.) You learned your first language within about two years, and you learned it naturally, without any language lessons or without even knowing a language already. How did you do this? It was all your brain! Your brain is wired to pick up on patterns and adapt, and that's exactly what happened. You immersed yourself in your first language 24/7, and your brain adapted!

It's best to follow this same procedure for a second language, either as an adult or with your own kids.

Why and How To Make It Fun

Barely anyone learns Spanish through formal lessons like in school. What you need is a lesson plan than immerses you in the language, even with games to play to improve the process.

I used computer software for this process, and I highly recommend it for the fastest way to learn Spanish. To build your base in Spanish, it is best to have some kind of formal instruction, but preferably formal instruction that immerses you in the language.

From there, make a game of it! Try to talk Spanish with friends, and see how long you can talk Spanish without having to speak English. (I did this with a friend of mine while we were learning, and it ended up being AMAZING.)

The most important thing is to make everything feel natural, like you're just forcing your brain to "adapt" again. When everything is a lesson plan, it gets boring and fast!

What Is Fun Spanish?

You might notice I don't really share any Spanish phrases in here. That's because, to me, knowing ANY Spanish at all without having to go through formal lessons is "fun Spanish." And if you follow the lesson plans in this article, you are on your way to actually enjoying learning Spanish!
