I am Learning Spanish

The Why

There are a couple reasons why I have chosen to pursue Spanish as a second language.

• I have always wanted to speak it
• It is the one of the most spoken languages in the world
• It is my partner's first language

The How

I have been self teaching with assistance from my partner. Here are my ordered tips from this process so far.

1. Speak the language all the time
2. Interact with media in the language often. Listen to spansish music, watch spanish shows, readh spanish books, etc
3. Practice daily, even when you don't feel like it

To get started, use a website like SpanishDictionary.com to learn vocabulary. You can also use sites like Duolingo to be exposed to new vocabulary, however, you should not rely on it soley. I also recommend that you find a podcast or course to get you on the right track. I love the Language Transfer course for Spanish as it focuses on training yourself to think in spanish, not be afraid to make mistakes, and shows you how many words in english can be easily translated. Finally, your local library is a great source books or other media in Spanish or that teach the language!

Summary

To summarize, learning a new language is hard but worth it. I'll leave you with some new Spanish words to use.
