What should I learn first

Question

Hi! I want to learn spanish, but I don't know a thing! I want to ask you: what should I learn first? How much time should I spend on this? Sorry if I break any rules of this forum, and sorry if my english is bad.

Answer 1

This site is very good, but I also use another site: http://www.studyspanish.com/lessons/genoun1.htm

They have lessons for beginners and it is very easy to follow.

¡Buena suerte!

Thank you! I'll try that site too. - Inox, Apr 1, 2013

jessicamccall117 And how much time should I spend for every lesson? Thanks for your response!

Keep going over the lesson until it seems easy to you. - katydew, Apr 1, 2013

Well first just go through the lesson and like katydew said just go until you understand. Then you just need to keep practicing. I use flash cards and such just to look over when I have the time. You can always learn something and then forget it. - jessicamccall117, Apr 2, 2013

Welcome to the forum! The "Learn" link will take you into the video lessons, the flashcards, and Spanish grammar. The grammar section also has quizzes.

Answer 4

First I would suggest learning things such as greetings, then you can work on common vocabulary. And the biggest thing to learn is verbs!!!!!

Also Flashcards are a great tool. You can use the lessons here on SD and they also have some great ones on studyspanish.com - jessicamccall117, Apr 1, 2013

Answer 5

I don't think you've broken any rules and your English seems fine. One thing: in English, names of languages (like countries and nationalities) are always capitalized: English, England, Spanish, Spain, Spaniard, Mexico, Mexican, Central America, etc., etc.

In Spanish, only countries are capitalized: Estados Unidos, estadounidense, inglés, México, mexicano, español.

If you feel you are not learning the pronunciation here you can try this website to learn some basic pronunciation: www.studyspanish.com/pronunciation

Answer 6

Inox, start somewhere and the rest will follow. I started with the alphabet and numbers. That led me to pronunciation and accents. The key is to start.

Thanks for you advice! I already started, and I have a lot of time to study. How much time do you think I should spend for Spanish every day? I have to study English too, so it can't be too much. A advice in this situation would help me a lot! - Inox, Apr 1, 2013

Answer 7

Shouldn't I learn pronunciation rules first?

See my answer. Is English your native language? Fill out your profile more, please. - Jubilado, Apr 1, 2013
