Aliaas, I realize English is not your native language. You may not know that every sentence should begin with a capital, and that "I" is always capitalized. Other than that you are very easy to understand. Good job! - Lrtward, Dec 16, 2009

Hola Aliaas,

I think it is amazing that you are trying to learn Spanish here, considering that English is not your first language. I understand from a previous post that you speak Hindi ( a language that I am not too familiar with).

I know it might be frustrating, but no one is able to learn Spanish very, very quickly. It will take time and patience. I think you should continue to use the Learn Spanish Videos with Paralee and study with the flashcards. There are many people here who will help you and answer any questions you have. I'm sure everyone admires the fact that Spanish is your third language!!!

You are an inspiration. I wish you well,

Nicole

Immersion learning is probably the best way to learn as much as you can in the shortest time. So try and put yourself in a situation where you have no option but to communicate in Spanish. eg. go into spanish speaking chat rooms.

Cheers and good luck!

I, too, think it is incredible that you are here to learn Spanish when English is not your first language. Wow!

For me, it is impossible to rush learning a language. You have to repeat, repeat, repeat. The most important thing is to go slowly and practice as much as you possibly can. That way you will retain what you have learned.

Also I think it helps if you combine many different methods of learning. For example, watching the training videos, using the flash cards, reading the forum, going to the chat. Also find Spanish blogs and news websites and try to read them. Watch movies that have the Spanish language option - sometimes it helps if there are subtitles in your native language. Read "easy" books, ones that are short or written for young people. If there are Spanish radio stations where you live, listen to them. The commercials repeat over and over (as do the songs, just not as frequently) and you can learn that way. Buy Spanish music CDs and listen to them. If you have the opportunity to teach your language to Spanish speaking people, that can help a lot too.

There's so many ways to learn Spanish - I'd recommend trying to keep it fun and to practice as much as possible. There's a good collection of resources available here but why not follow the Spanish Dict lessons through to start with grin

Good Luck
