Depending on where you live there are good reasons to learn Spanish. If you live in North America then you have good reason to learn the language. In the United States, for instance, there are numerous communities that speak Spanish. Being able to speak to them can improve your career prospects and your standing within the community. And many of North Americas southern neighbors and the islands surrounding the continent speak Spanish as their first language.
In Europe, Spain is a popular tourist destination or place to settle for retired people, so a grasp of Spanish would improve your time spent in the country.
So, if you have decided to learn Spanish then, like most people you want to learn it fast. The best part of speaking a new language is being able to speak to people. Until you can do this with a degree of comfort, you may find learning Spanish boring or dull.
Learning vocabulary is never that exciting as we are not used to learning a language through rote methods. Learning grammar is even worse because it may have no intuitive sense to it, so you have to learn it as a set of rules.
Learning grammar and vocabulary with these methods is opposite to how we gained our native tongues. We learned them through repetition and primarily an honest desire to use the language.
This is obvious when you see a young child or baby learning their native language. The child hears his mother speaking words. Eventually he gets the meaning of the words. He soon wants to take part in the conversation. He has the desire to take part.
At the start his grunts and mumbles may be unintelligible but eventually he will be able to say a few words. He will continue to hone these speaking skills by watching a listening to people around him.
Eventually, he will be able to speak simple sentences like 'I want apple'. At this point, he has learned all the skills needed to learn a language. Now his range of speaking will increase at an astonishing rate.
He will start using new words in basic sentences and get positive responses from the people around him. His confidence will soar and he will become quite adventurous. He will listen to songs, watch the TV and listen to his parents and siblings. His lifelong trip to learning his native language has started. You never stop learning a language.
The best method that approximates this way of learning a language is immersion learning. Immersion learning means going to a country where the language you want to learn is spoken as a native tongue.
As scary as it may sound you are a baby again, in a country where all the words make no sense. (well it's probably not that bad, as you may already have some idea of basic words and you can still communicate through body language and pointing) But the main learning strategies are established in this method.
You will have no option but to listen to this language. If you want to speak you will have to speak in this language. all the strategies that a child uses to learn his native tongue will be in place for you.
All the things that might hold you back, like feeling stupid or saying the wrong thing will not apply. To be understood you have to try and suddenly you understand why you have to learn. Boring vocabulary learning has a point and a practical application.
It won't be easy. Learning a new language never is, but the desire and need to communicate will get you through. You should also consider taking a class as this can provide vital support in you desire to learn.
So I feel the best way to learn Spanish is to go to a Spanish speaking country. Take a course and then spend a bit of time there. this will really give you an opportunity to consolidate you skills and take them on further.
