Fluently Speaking Spanish

Question

What is the hardest part about learning Spanish?

Answer 1

Oh goodness, what a marvelous question! I would say that there are many difficult parts and pieces to learning Spanish. Personally, I have the most trouble with two things: vocabulary and speaking. I know Spanish. I KNOW Spanish, but while speaking I frequently fumble my words and I tend to speak it faster than I can think it.

What about you? What do you have the most trouble with?

With hard work nearly everyone can grasp another language, but keep in mind that no amount of using this website, language CD's, or classes can replace going to a Spanish speaking country and learning there. If you do that your Spanish will become vibrant and poetic and you will receive a sense of fulfillment just from how far you've come.

Good luck! Do well and do good.

Answer 2

I myself found that the hardest part is to understand when native speakers speak at their natural pace. This of course can easily be remedied by asking them to slow down and tell them you are just learning Spanish.

"Más despacio, por favor. Aprendo español y no lo entiendo bien."

Answer 3

Definitely the conjugation of verbs including verbs in the subjunctive tense. This is the hardest part for me.

Answer 4

"Más despacio, por favor. Estoy aprendiendo español y no lo entiendo bien."

"Más despacio, por favor. Aprendo español y no lo entiendo bien."
