Advice to learn Spanish
Hey everyone. I'm a beginner on SpanishDict.com so I was wondering how to learn Spanish in a good way. Do you have any advice for me?

It is my opinion that you allot time for your learning.
Start the lessons at the beginning and work your way through slowly. Review is better when you don't understand.
There's also the Spanish Grammar section which explains it in English (helpful when you reach level 4). Flashcards help with the memory.
Participate in the forum when you can; it is full of people who want to help and are kind in their approach. Search the forum before posting a question (especially when it comes to "el agua"). We're all learning, every day. Every question does count.
I've heard many others who advise to use other Spanish learning tools (websites, books, programs). Using it synergetically improves your Spanish. What I did (about a year ago) was clear my schedule so I could focus on Spanish (I was already studying Russian grammar). I focused on one month working on 2 books and the Pimsleur CD set for Latin American Spanish (library was my source). Then I found SD. I started from the beginning again, so I wouldn't miss anything and worked my way through.
If you put in the search box some key words for how to learn Spanish, you may find some other good answers, advice, and opinions. Keep looking because learning only can lead to improvement.
