fluent in spanish ?

Question

Pllease tell me what have i do to be fluent in spanish in one year ?

Answer 1

Important note about English: Always capitalize the English pronoun "I".

Now, It would be very difficult to become fluent in one year. You can approach it by total immersion for one year. Go to a Spanish speaking country, live with Spanish speaking people, and take graded classes (beginner, intermediate, advanced) in the country for people who are learning Spanish. If you are still in your 20's or younger, you will probably learn quickly. After all this, I don't know if you will be fluent, but you will be definitely advanced. All my best wishes for accomplishing your goal!

Answer 2

It is impossible to promise that you are going to be fluent in a year or any specific time in general -- it all depends on you. Generally speaking, to improve in a language, of course you need to study hard. Studying techniques differ from one to another, but I myself study for 4-5 hours a day. I study grammar as much as I can, I watch news in Spanish, though I don't understand almost 99% but I just try to get used to listening to it and also I repeat a word/sentence after I hear it, and I read children stories.

Finally, I practice with my friends, native Spanish speakers. One thing, if it is possible, you can study abroad in any country that has Spanish as its official language. Immersion is one of the best things to force language into your head. I try to do that with my friends, but whenever I get stuck, which is a lot of times, I switch back to English.

Read my blog.

You probably have gifts that are not universal. J S Bach once said, "Anybody can do what I do if he just works hard enough." Not all geniuses are so humble, but a few of you are. - Jubilado, Aug 12, 2013

NO, not really, and to tell you the thruth, I have always believed myself to be less intelligent than my peers, I grew up thinking like that... for many different reasons. :) - chileno, Aug 12, 2013
