How to Learn Spanish Quickly

By Gordon Chase

Do you need to learn Spanish quickly? Follow this method and you can learn Spanish fast and be speaking fluently in no time.

The first step to learning Spanish is to purchase a reputable program that will suit your needs. There are no free Spanish lessons that will help you achieve your goal of fluency. You must purchase a decent program. Follow the link at the bottom of this article to read about three top-selling Spanish language learning programs. If you implement the method below, you can learn Spanish quick with any of these learning programs.

Once you have a good learning program, you are ready to implement the method to learn Spanish quick. Here it is:

Do Not Proceed to the Next Lesson Until the Current One is Mastered

This is crucial. Humans get bored quickly. We like fresh and new things, not old and stale ones. When studying a language lesson, you will be tempted to move on to the next lesson once you are finished with the content. This is a HUGE MISTAKE! You will NOT learn Spanish quick doing it this way.

So, how do you know when you are ready to move on to the next lesson? Easy! When you can speak all the sentences and vocabulary taught in the lesson with fluency and ease.

For example, let's say you learn how to say "where is the bathroom" and "the bathroom is over there". Being able to recognize those sentences when you read them is not enough. Just because you can read it does not me you can communicate fluently with it. Fluent means you can say it and understand it with ease. This is the standard.

How do you become fluent? Easy! Take every sentence and vocabulary word taught in the lesson, and using the audio that comes with your learning program listen and repeat over and over again until you feel comfortable pronouncing the words. You should also be able to repeat the sentences clearly and at a reasonable speed.

The BIGGEST obstacle to becoming fluent is putting words together in sentences clearly enough so natives can understand what you are saying.

Resist every temptation to move on to the next lesson for that 'fresh' material your brain craves. If you do move to fast, the content will eventually become too overwhelming to master.

Once you have mastered the lesson and can say every sentence and word with ease and clarity, then you can move on to the next lesson.


Implementing this method with one of the Spanish learning programs I recommend is the best way to learn Spanish quick and easy.
