Hi, Shobna.

Here are a few corrections to your English:

Answer 3

I think the secret to learning Spanish is to really devote yourself. Flashcards can help you learn real experience is the secret. Strike up a conversation and practice what you have learned. Talk to yourself in the mirror. Anything that can keep learning Spanish fun and exciting for you. Don't lose your interest.

Answer 4

From the threads that are posted on this site I would say that one secret method is to find a Spanish speaking boyfriend or girlfriend. Beyond the benefit of having a one-on-one tutor there may be other incentives. I can't remember that far back to tell you what they may be.

A warning, however. Find one that can spell or create a simple, correct sentence, because from the posts that I have read, those are much more difficult to find.

Answer 5

The real secret is simple : dedication.

With dedication you will learn Spanish

Without dedication you will not learn Spanish.

Its a secret because nobody knows how simple it is.

Answer 6

Hello! I am just beginning learning Spanish but I recommend you watching Spanish films with Spanish subtitles. It is a very pleasant way to learn pronunciation and expressions. I am learning sometimes English in that way so I know that it works quite good. (I am sorry for my probably not very proper English, I am learning that language too

• Yeah cool. But here I cant get much Spanish movies. - shobna Sep 25, 2010

Answer 7

The most important thing is to be in a Spanish speaking environment as everything said around you flows over you and pronunciation, phrases etc stick in your mind forever. Of course the next good part is speaking it.

Not everyone has the opportunity to do this though.

Answer 8

Alas, there is no secret. Study, study, study. Practice, practice, practice Review, review, review.

And pay attention, all the time, to detail. Get in the habit of writing correctly in English so you can carry that habit over to Spanish. I remember, as a beginner, taking a very long time to understand that placing accents (more properly known on this site as tildes) in the correct position was essential. Not just important, essential!

So I suggest you go back and edit your original post to reflect correct English spelling, capitalization, and grammar. Think about the process you had to go through to do that. Then consider how to apply that process to your study of Spanish.

Now you're on your way! One more "secret:" Have fun!

Answer 9

The "secret" could be necessity

El secreto podría ser (la) necesidad
