How to Learn Spanish While Sleeping - The 5 Step Method That Will Improve Your Spanish!

By Nathan Hayes

Sleep is just 8 hours of nothing to do - as far as some people are concerned. Well, you need sleep to rejuvenate yourself, but wouldn't it be great if you could use this nightly "down time" for something productive? There are folks who say that sleep learning really works and you can do things like learn Spanish while sleeping. But can you...is it really possible?

How Spanish Sleep Learning Works

Sleep learning has been used over the last few decades with varying degrees of success. Some people have found it quite helpful in picking up a new language while others less so. And it's not as easy as slipping on some comfortable earphones, turning on a CD of Spanish phrases, going to bed and then waking up in the morning fluently bilingual. It doesn't work that way. Unfortunately, you just can't be taught a new language through sleep learning - but you can pick up some phrases. And it's a good way to learn Spanish for the beginner.

While It's Not the Best Way to Learn Spanish, Sleep Learning Can Help You Make Progress

Nearly 50% of the language we use on a daily basis is composed of fewer than 200 common words. As a matter of fact, the majority of our daily speech usually uses less than 1,000 words. This fact can be used to your advantage when learning Spanish in your sleep.

The 5 Step Method of the Sleep Learning Approach

• Obtain a list of the 100 most commonly used Spanish phrases. Make sure to have a print-out and audio files available.
• Before you go to bed, read aloud each phrase and then listen to a repeat of the phrases from the audio file (this engages your senses of sight and hearing).
• Turn on your CD or MP3 player so that it's just audible and let it play the Spanish phrases. Turn in for the night.
• In the morning, review the phrases. After 30 days, you should find yourself learning Spanish much more quickly.
• If you find your not getting a good night's sleep, turn down the volume. Or listen without headphones or earphones.

You Need a Good List

In order to make this work, you need a good list of commonly used Spanish phrases and audio files. You probably will be able to scrape some free phrases from the Internet, but free quality audio files is doubtful. The best thing to do is get yourself a good Spanish course and then use the sleep learning method to speed up the learning process. Just make sure the course has proven itself and is beginner-friendly.

There are few people who don't enjoy a good night's sleep. It's nature's reward for a hard day's work. But you don't have to spend 8 hours of just lying there in bed. To a certain extent, you can use it to learn Spanish while sleeping. You won't master the language this way, but you'll speed up the learning process. Who says sleep is all down time?
