Answer 1

I'm learning Spanish too. Since I'm just a beginner, I may not be able to help much. But here's some tips I've gathered by looking at other people's questions and answers here:

--Talk to yourself in Spanish often. Say a word and visualize it--for example, "espejo" means mirror. Remember the word and visualize the mirror.

--Stick flashcards on everything. For example, I taped a flashcard that says "cama" to my bed. "Cama" means "bed" in Spanish. It totally helps--once again, you're seeing the object, not just saying the word randomly.

--Talk to a Spanish friend. If you don't have one, talk to yourself lol. It always helps to get a Spanish person's point of view. Talking to them, even just reciting one words, improves your pronunciation.

--****Start the Lessons here on Spanish Dict, and don't move on until you feel ready.**

--Don't discourage yourself. Keep trying, (at least you care to learn unlike some other people). And Keep talking to yourself.

--Some extra suggestions are to read books to learn more writing and sentence structure, and/or watch movies. I suggest doing that when you've built up your vocab more, but it's your call on that. Also, research other people who have asked this question and look at their replies.

What an excellent response, Allfirefly! Welcome to the forum! - bandit51jd, Mar 25, 2012

I talk to myself in Spanish all the time. It drives my family nuts, but you're right, it really does help. - quoththeraven, Mar 25, 2012

Answer 2

Welcome to our Spanishdict.com forum.

He editado su pregunta porque es muy fácil de mezclar los idiomas español e inglés, o mezclar idiomas cuando se estudiamos más que uno a la vez.

Por favor, corrija mi español.

I´ve edited your question because it is very easy to mix English and Spanish, or mix languages when we study more than one at a time.

Here on our site, we learn in so many different ways; the learning videos, the dictionary, the translator, the grammar and quiz section, or the flashcards are all here for your use. We offer this forum and our members are willing to help as long as you follow the forum rules.

By using the search box under the green "Ask a Question" you can type in words, such as; television, music, radio, lyrics, or cartoons. There are many, many posts that have previously been asked.

I hope this helps!
