Can somebody help me???
well i been learning Spanish since august and that been 4 months now.... everything been okay but I don't think i'm learning anything. The reason I say this is because when I did had a Spanish partner which was (indian) and he was in college taking up Spanish . When we a practicing I couldn't understand anything and I didn't know what say cause I didn't no nothing. After that I been trying to learn Spanish like my mother language English, But i hate and can't commit to the Spanish program I sign up for it so boring. Right now I listen to spanish songs and repeat after them which I don't understand at all and I think i'm not pronouncing the words right ...but I try my best. Also when I want to practice with a person that knows spanish I tend to forget what to say back and It seem like I don't know anything...This is really frustrating... it makes me want to give up but i'm not ... I just want to get some good advice on what i should do

Just four months and you are giving up, come on, you are learning a foreign language and not a table of 2 or 4 , it can take many years for people to acquire a reasonable fluency in a language ... I am also an Indian haha and I advice you to be patient, if you need any help you can post your questions here and the forum members are very helpful and I am sure they (including myself) will help you as much as possible.
Don't give up so soon my friend, Rome was not built in one day,, it takes time and a lot of effort ..
I also felt like that for a long time. I'm currently fluent in Spanish, but of course there is still room for me to improve.
I'm not sure if I can post links on here but I would recommend you a book called 'Fluent in 3 Months' by Benny Lewis, or just search on Youtube for 'Benny Lewis TED Talk'.
I think that conversing (or at least trying), the will to learn and having persistence are the keys to becoming fluent.
Don't give up!
Well, part of it might be lack of effort. Seeing as how I could barely read your English, maybe you aren't really committed to learning your Spanish.
I know that sounds a bit harsh, but hear me out. If you are just learning Spanish for school, you may lack the effort required to really begin the learning process. If you want to learn Spanish to increase your own ability and opportunities, that is a much better goal.
I would advise using the flashcard system that this site has. It's my favorite tool of all time to memorize and retain vocabulary, partly because it rewards you for answering quickly.
Keep trying! I've been studying for close to three or four years now, and I'm still awful at it
