Here are some suggestions to learn Spanish fast. Watch Spanish stations on TV and listening to the radio. Rent movies in Spanish that have captions in your first language. Watching the news in Spanish is not hard because you can follow the story through the video even if you don’t know exactly what is said. Watching a movie on DVD allows you to fiddle around with the captioning.
Try lists of words that are memorized and take self-exams on verb conjugation. So when it comes time to speak, the words and phrases are distinct in your head. Listen to Spanish-speaking radio and television, see Spanish language movies, read Spanish magazines or web-based news. Such practical training will help you develop your vocabulary and also get your ear used to the beautiful rhythms, which in turn will help your ability to speak and understand the dialect.
Seems pretty easy right? Well I assure you it is not, especially when your whole day is spent speaking English. The quickest route to understanding some fast Spanish is through a solid grounding in grammar basics. Now don’t be put off by the ‘G-word’. One other good way way to start a new language is to start reading it, right away.
Try watching Spanish speaking television. If you can, watch English speaking TV with Spanish subtitles, that way you will associate the words with the actions. Watch the actor’s facial movements and their behavior toward each other. The highly dramatized way in which TV episodes are presented will allow you to get a better understanding of how interactive Spanish language is spoken by native speakers. The key to really learning the Spanish language is practice. Through reading, listening and repeating you can learn Spanish quickly and permanently.
