Answer 1

I tried for many years to learn and did not get far. Then I spend a month in Oaxaca and went to a school a few hours a day. The most expensive part was getting there, I rented an apartment (the school helped me) but a home stay would have been even better for learning. In that four weeks I learned what took me maybe a year or two any other way.

It may not seem realistic, but look for ways to do this and if there's anyway possible go for it. Nothing else compares to immersion, and I found the people in Oaxaca helpful, friendly and kind and without a word of English. It was fun. It was also really hard and one day I cried for a while. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat, because it gave me a huge leg up and now I work hard every day because I can't afford to lose what I gained.

But if you can't go to a school in a Spanish-speaking country, do your best to simulate it - study in combo with live talk, subtitled movies, anything and everything!!!

Answer 2

I think that this site is place to learn Spanish. But still you could always go to the libray and check out a book on learning Spanish.

Answer 3

There's a million ways to learn spanish...the best way depends on who you are and how you..YOU learn. What works best for me might be particularly useless for you. The key to this is to find out what works for you and what opens your mind. I like regggaeton music. When they say something I don't know, I look it up. That gives me motivation and keeps me moving forward. Maybe what makes you move forward is watching Sabido Gigante. You have to find out what it is that lights the fire for you, and follow that thing. No one can tell you that...you have to find it on your own. But asking the question is the first step!

Answer 4

I have asked a question before that was quite similar to this and the link for that thread is here Hope this helps! I do, however, think that this is the best site to learn Spanish on!

Answer 5

I agree. This site rocks. Start on the lessons and you'll be surprised how much you learn.
