Get ready to start learning to speak Spanish...

the most popular romance language in the world.

Spanish is spoken by roughly 440 million people

worldwide who often speak it as their only language. It is the second most used language and the third

most spoken language in the world.

So, learn to speak Spanish in the next few

weeks and you will be ready to visit Spain, Mexico,

Latin America, South America, etc., and understand

what people are saying to you and to others.

Learning to speak Spanish is not very complicated.

There are a number of great learning courses that

take you by the hand and lead you easily through

the basics of the language. When learning Spanish

keep these practical tips in mind:

Practical Tips To Learning To Speak Spanish

Tip 1 - Find time to study each and every day at a time when

you are rested and most receptive to absorbing the materials.

Don't overdo it - Allow yourself 30 minutes to an hour every

day.

Tip 2 - Absorb the material in each lesson fully before going

on to the next lesson. Review each lesson's material at least

a couple of times a day to be sure you have it in your head.

It wouldn't be bad to review all the lessons for the week

before moving on to next weeks lessons.

Tip 3 - Gain a complete understanding of basic pronunciation

before moving on to the more advanced aspects of the language.

This will make it much easier later on.

Tip 4 - In order to absorb the language better try zeroing in

on the topics and subjects that interest you the most. This

will sharpen your memory to remember phrases, and words that

excite you.

Tip 5 - Don't ever give up or let discouragement get the best

of you. We all have times when things don't seem to be going

our way, but usually these are temporary bumps in the road and

things get back to normal in due time. If you have a

momenatery lapse in learning simply realize we all

go through periods like this and then get started with the

program again. You will succeed.

Tip 6 - Purchase a Magic Marker and some 3 x 5 cards. Print

names of things in your house such as Television, clock, bed,

chair, etc on the cards in your new language. Place the 3 x 5

cards all around your house and get used to knowing these

objects in your new language.

Tip 7 - Force yourself to think using your new language for

everyday activities. This will cause your mind to become more

comfortable using the new language until it seems to flow out

of your mouth easily.

Tip 8 - In most areas of the country there are radio or

television programs that broadcast shows speaking only in the

language you are studying. Tune in and listen to these shows

periodically to see what you can understand of the language.

The more words you learn of a new language the more these

shows will become a language memory booster and reinforcement

for you.

Today it is more important than ever to know the Spanish

language since it appears everywhere. Learning a foreign

language, particularly Spanish, is not complicated. It will

even be for your own benefit because, who knows, you may find

yourself on the streets of Madrid or Mexico City talking to

people in Spanish one day. At least, you won’t have a hard

time living the Spanish life and adjusting to their culture -

simply because you took the time to begin Spanish language

study!

Buena suerte! (Good luck!)
