Hello! i would love to learn spanish!

Question

"Hello!" is alijandra," "I am black and Mexican."" and I would love to learn Spanish for my father;s side of the family!"

This is not a question, but a wish! This is a bad omen. When I wanted to learn Spanish, I jumped right in and started learning! No wishing! It's dedicated work! - Raja-jani, Aug 3, 2013

Answer 1

Don't start unless you are serious. Learning a language is a lot of work and if you are not willing to put in the time you will just get frustrated.

However, if you are willing then there are many things you can do. The internet is amazing there are many sites, including this one, that have lessons. Youtube has many video lessons, then there are school classes.

Bring your questions here as I believe this is the best forum for getting answers to questions.

The most important thing to learn is vocabulary. Lots and lots of vocabulary. Then way down the list is grammar.

Good luck.

I agree! - rac1, Aug 3, 2013

Answer 3

From my short experience in learning Spanish, I'll try to be a source of help for you.. First you have the lessons here: http://www.spanishdict.com/learn. This site offer us four courses with 15 lessons in each. Each lesson contains a video, a flashcard set which contains 20 vocabulary words and expressions, recognize, listening, recall, writing and finally speaking exercises. They are all fun and easy. BUT, repetition is very necessary. You should make sure you have a notebook for all what you learn to make repeating easier. A new lesson takes me one whole day to learn but when repeating it it takes no more than a hour. Don't get frustrated when you remember nothing.. information needs time and repetition to move from the temporary memory to the permanent one. Hope what I said is helpful and good luck

I once heard that you need to hear a word used or use a word 15 to 20 times before it becomes a permanent part of your vocabulary. - gringojrf, Aug 5, 2013

Right, I heard the same thing too. - Athenaura, Aug 6, 2013
