What is the first thing you should learn when taking Spanish

Question

When learning to speak Spanish, where should you begin?

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum

I think that would depend on you interests and inclinations.

Some would choose to start with the basics of a conversation- polite greetings and such.

Some might prefer to start with conjugating in simple present tense for some common regular verbs.

I personally started by learning some basic vocabulary first- colors, days of the week, common nouns that I could drill myself with as I walked around just by naming everything I encountered.

I think a combination of all of the above is probably useful, and seems to be the approach in the first part of the lessons here: Learn Spanish 1

I think that going through the lessons here, supplemented by reviewing the information in the reference section and doing flashcard sets that you find of interest will help set a good foundation.
