How long will it take me to learn Spanish?

So i plan to take spanish through all of highschool, but i am already struggling with my first year. My friend who speaks very good spanish told me he used this site. I need to learn by the time school starts next year, which is 5 months from now. so how long will it take me to learn spanish using this site? Thanks!

Hi Quig. You can ask another question about this problem if you want. - sanlee, Apr 25, 2011

Answer 1

Hi Quig. You must be logged in. Try going to the lesson from the top bar, where it says Learn Spanish. Click on that. See if that works. Otherwise, you might have to restart your computer. Make sure you remember your user name and password. Maybe someone else has an idea??

Looks like you beat me to it again, Sanlee. Have a great day. - CalvoViejo, Apr 25, 2011

Answer 2

The best advice I can give you is try as hard as you can. It all depends on your motivation, and don't let people tell you what you can or cannot do. I am a 35 year old man that knew little if any Spanish two years ago. Now I am in advanced Spanish classes with natives and getting the highest grades in my class. 5 months is not a long tome, but if you are really dedicated and immerse yourself in literature, grammar, listening, and speaking, you can make great strides.

Answer 3

Obviously you're logged in or you wouldn't be able to post a question or answer. Click on the "Learn Spanish" button at the top of this page. It should take you to a list of courses (Spanish 1, 2, 3, or 4 or English 1 or 2). Just click on the course you want to try, probably Spanish 1. If that doesn't work, then there must be some setting on your computer that needs to be tweaked. The links are working fine for me tonight.

Answer 4

Hi Quig! Welcome to the forum! It all depends on you. If you put some time in everyday to do the lessons and participate in this forum, you can learn a lot. Why not start right now with lesson one. Learn Spanish Lesson one

Answer 6

You won't make it in 5 months, unless you supplement this site with a lot of other resources. You could easily be fluent in Spanish in 2 to 3 months, if you are completely immersed in Spanish (as in living in a Spanish speaking country and denying yourself access to anything English).
