Length of learning

Question

How long is the estimated time for me to learn Spanish?

Answer 1

Just like any other endeavor, it all depends on the effort you put into it.

My advice?

• Make vocabulary flashcard sets of at least 25 and review them everyday for a week, then move on to a new set of 25

• Listen to Spanish Radio

• Watch movies in Spanish (use subtitles at first, if you wish)

• Read children's books until you move up to young adult books

• Start a diary and write down everything in Spanish (use the dictionary to find words and then add them to your vocab lists)

• Get a Skype buddy to practice (for a professional tutor it costs about $12 an hour)

• Have fun and be patient...all things worth the effort take time

Excellent advice, I do a lot of this stuff myself and it has really helped. - PumpkinCalabaza, Oct 8, 2012
