What is the Best Way to Learn Spanish in Under Two Months?

By Noah M. Benjamin

The best way to learn Spanish is very simple, and very straight forward. However, it's probably not what you think. Let me first go over the WORST ways to learn Spanish.

THE WORST WAYS TO LEARN SPANISH

Simply put, going to school for Spanish is the WORST way to learn it. Especially in American high schools, the focus is simply on memorization and not actually SPEAKING the language. This will help you to say single words, but it does not help when you simply want to speak or write to someone in Spanish!

THE BEST WAY TO LEARN SPANISH

The absolute best way to learn Spanish -- or any other language -- is simply to IMMERSE yourself in it! Do everything you can in Spanish!

Use a good language training program on your computer to build a base in Spanish. If you work hard, you can build this base in just a few weeks at home. Most good Spanish language programs will really immerse you in the language, providing only lessons in Spanish. This sounds intimidating at first, but you would be surprised how quickly you pick up the language this way!

From there, watch Spanish cartoons on TV and read Spanish children's books. After two weeks, you will find yourself understanding all the language used.

Next, read Spanish newspapers and speak Spanish to every Latin American person you can. Speak Spanish at the burrito restaurant you go to; speak Spanish to coworkers who know the language; speak only Spanish with loved ones at home who know the language. Keep a free online translation tool or a dictionary handy in case you have any questions.

But that's it. The best way to learn Spanish, or any language at all, is to simply IMMERSE yourself in it. Start with a good piece of Spanish language learning software that will immerse you, and then find your own ways to immerse yourself!

You can teach yourself Spanish quickly and easily, with the right resources. Find out what the top language students use to quickly pick up new languages.
