Learn Spanish Fast With 3 Astonishingly Simple Tricks

By Noah M. Benjamin

If you need to learn Spanish fast, there are just 3 easy methods I can recommend that will get you there. I learned enough Spanish to get by in Central America in one month simply by using these 3 easy tactics, and I started from almost nothing.

All three tactics rely on one concept -- absolutely immersing yourself in the language!

1. If you are a beginner, pick up some Spanish learning software or Spanish learning audio programs. This is absolutely essential, and is actually very helpful also if you are more advanced. There are basic grammatical structures and basic vocabulary that you need to know for every Spanish sentence you'll ever speak, and these programs will provide you with that knowledge. This is the foundation that the rest of my Fast Spanish steps work off of!

2. Now that you have a base in Spanish, find someone who is willing to simply sit and speak Spanish with you for an hour or more every day. If you were to sit with a native (or at least fluent) speaker for over an hour every day for two weeks straight, you will learn more Spanish than you ever thought possible. This is the main method I used while in Central America and I never had any troubles getting by. (Offer speaking with someone else in English as compensation, since many native speakers would love to know more English.)

3. Take an hour a day and read a Spanish newspaper. The language used in all newspapers is very simple, and will help immerse you even deeper in the language. If you can read the newspaper for more than an hour, then do it! This will only speed up your learning. I highly recommend using a Spanish-English dictionary or a free online translation tool like BabelFish to translate words you don't know. You can also highlight words or phrases and present them to your Spanish speaking friend next time you meet with him or her.

These three steps are all that you will need to learn Spanish fast. Trust me -- follow this method for two months and you will not only be near fluent, but you will be able to converse without any trouble at all. It worked for me!
