How can I learn more verbs and nouns?

I am currently in Spanish 4 in high school and I'm crazy dedicated to learn this language. I have a friend that speaks fluent spanish. She decided to teach me but I want to learn spanish any way. And if there's any open door, I want to go through it. I want to be a person that can understand what hispanic people are saying when they go off into their language.

Reading is by far the best way to expand your vocabulary, in any language. Read newspapers, books, magazines, the backs of Hamburger Helper boxes (I'm serious - they have instructions in Spanish), anything you can get your hands on. Watching T V and movies in Spanish helps a lot, too. Put new words into flashcards. Write them out in new sentences. Practice saying them out loud in sentences. Use the language, don't just study it.

You need to learn words relevant to your interests in the contexts in which they are used--you probably won't use other words often enough to remember them.. The best way to do this is to read books and articles on subjects that interest you.

Flashcards work great. And if you don't want to carry around a bunch of flash cards, itunes has some apps for IPhone and Ipod so you can make and study your own flashcards. It's helped me tons. I also recommend Podcasts, like Rodney said.

You can try my blog, and you'll see that you don't really have to learn Spanish, but still you'll get to read it, write it and speak it. smile

Read. Jokes are great, they're short and cover a wide variety of topics. Read whatever interests you at a level you can handle. I used to grab pamphlets, flyers, coupons, newspaper ads, whatever, if it was in Spanish I read it.

Podcasts. The internet is full free Spanish podcasts that will help you tremendously.

Best of all, talk to people as much as possible, like your friend you mentioned.

Really, just start using the language in real life situations and you'll learn a ton.

Study like crazy, try and do as many of your hobbies through Spanish as possible, (so like if you follow a football team, watch reports on them in Spanish instead of English, if you play online video games play them on the Spanish servers) Read books on things that interest you. With the internet you don't have to go to to the country to immerse yourself in the language.

The good news is that if all you want to do is to be usually able to understand people who are having a chat it won't take that long at all. smile Just huge amounts of hard work!
