Okay so I've been studying Spanish for a couple of years now uhmm...so I know quite a bit. Kind of getting tired of it but I really want to learn all of it and to be able to speak it fluently. Should I keep on studying and not give up???

You remind me of the guy who decided to take a trip, but when he had made it halfway there, he decided it was too far to travel. So he turned around and went back home. smile

Yes you should keep going. Why waste all the work that you have invested? You're already so much closer now than you were when you started. Becoming fluent in Spanish is easier for you at this point in your life than it ever has been.

Please don't give up.

Why are you getting tired of it? Maybe you should mix things up a bit. Try learning a different way. Por ejemplo: Trata de leer tus libros favoritos en español; únete a una sala de chat o un foro en español, busca música en español. :D

Don't give up. Maybe its the learning thats boring you. Why not spend more time using the language? Get a study buddy and use skype to chat for free or something similar. You will still be learning and practicing at the same time.

Keep going! If you've been studying for so long that you're getting tired of it- you must have learnt alot along the way! I agree with the idea of trying something new, maybe get a Spanish pen pal on mylanguageexchange.com, live chat, try reading a spanish book or write a small story of your own. smile Buenas Suerte, have fun and don't stop trying wink

Yes!!!!! Keep on studying. It would be such a gift to be able to speak fluently. It will come so great in any possible job you do. You can easily travel to all latio areas all around the world with out worrying about tour guides or translations. Believe me, you will absolutely love speaking fluently.

DO NOT GIVE UP!!! You can do it!

I speak several other languages fairly fluently (I seem to have an ear for it) but surprisingly,I am not particularly good at grammar. There is little point in learning any lanauge unless you use it - write in Spanish, read newspapers and books, listen to music, watch films etc. and most important of all, find Spanish-speaking people to talk to! I am very nosey and like to know what others are saying and this motivates me. Look for what motivates you.. ...and don't give up!.

You say ,"I really want---" If you really want anything in life you really have to keep at it to get what you want. Some things come easily and some things you have to work on for years.

I am 53, a native speaker and honestly I am still learning English.I am sure I will be studing Spanish until the day I die.

I agree with you. Learning spanish can be boring at times, but learning spanish is something that has to be made fun by an individaul for that individaul to continue with it. In other words, if you make learning spanish fun, then it will come to you much easier. I encourage you to never give up on becoming a fluent spanish speaker.
