Learn Spanish - 2 Things to Know Before Choosing a Language Course

By Paul Wrights

Ok, you want to learn Spanish. And you are thinking about choosing a language course. Or you might already have spent money on past courses and never got down to completing them.

Before jumping around the internet trying to find the best product, it might be best to sit back to reflect for a while. There are two things you need to know about yourself before you start searching for a Spanish course.

1. Motivations


2. Commitments
   
   
   

1) Motivations

Why do you want to learn a new foreign language? Or why do you need to? This would lead to how fluent you wish to become in that new language. You have to determine what you require to gain at the end of your learning period. Basic conversation skills may be attained fast, but learning languages for a full cultural immersion would be a much longer process.

There are other motivations may include.

1. Holiday Travel


2. Enjoyment of cultural activities, literature, music and film


3. Enlargement of your circle of colleagues and friends


4. Studying abroad opportunities


5. Working abroad opportunities


6. Living and perhaps, retiring abroad


7. Personal development, including life skills and cognitive development


8. A life partner, with whom you wish to enjoy all the above in a fuller capacity.
   
   
   

When you know your motivations, it becomes easier to balance them against your capacity to commit towards learning the new foreign language.

2) Commitments

There are two commitments that you need to set for yourself.

Time. This is the most fundamental area of consideration. It's also different from the Motivations section where you had examined how much time you HAVE.

Here you are asking yourself how much time can you spend daily? Remember that one of the ways for language development and retention is regular repetition. So a half hour to an hour on a daily basis would be a good commitment starting point. If you have a harder or shorter deadline, you may have to dedicate more time.

Money. Simple enough. How much money can you invest in learning this language? It could be a factor towards your successful learning of the language.

How much can you set aside for your language learning goal? You can find free internet sources, but you will probably still get what you pay for. Self-learning languages courses of various learning methods could cost you $100 for a quick street-survival exposure to $1000 for a full-fledged curriculum. There are of course, many course options in between. Other learning options include attending group classes or hiring a private tutor.

When you understand your motivations and what you are able to commit, you are better prepared to begin your language learning journey.
