Learn Spanish With These Simple Tricks

By Noah M. Benjamin

There are a number of different ways to learn Spanish. However, most ways are very ineffective. Sadly, most schools use the least effective ways to learn Spanish! You might be surprised to find out, though, that the best way to learn Spanish is almost completely free.

When we were children, we learned our first language in about two years. Not only did we never take any language classes, but we had absolutely no knowledge of language before! This was possible because we were surrounded by the language, and eventually our brains said "enough is enough", and it forced us to learn it.

This is the best way to learn language as an adult as well. In fact, it's even easier and faster to learn this way because we have more advanced brains and plenty of knowledge of language! Sadly, most schools across the world force students to memorize words and phrases rather than simply just speak the language. This goes for "advanced Spanish" courses as well!

If you really want to learn Spanish, and learn it very quickly, you need to find a way to immerse yourself in the language. I recommend using a good piece of Spanish language learning software, and audio programs for your car, to always have a good Spanish immersion solution available at any time.

Once you have a base in Spanish, I recommend simply reading or speaking in Spanish any time, and any where you can! Read the newspaper in Spanish (and translate passages you don't understand). Find friends who speak Spanish, and sit and speak the language with them for an hour at a time.

At first, when you immerse yourself in the language trying to read and speak it, you will find you are only able to speak and understand very basic sentences -- just like when you were a child! But, with just a few weeks of practice, preferably for one hour a day or more, you will find yourself becoming fluent.

Learn Spanish by immersing yourself, and I promise you will be nearly conversational in just two months.
