How to learn Spanish
"I crossed the border with a gay priest, found the love of my life, returned on bicycle."
How I did it: I moved to Mexico City and started living with a Mexican family. I started to give some English classes, do translation jobs, and whatever work I could scrounge up. Now I´m certified as an English teacher so the whole money issue is easier. I avoided gringos and Brits like the plague until my Spanish got stronger. Then I met Mexicans who spoke perfect English with British accents... my head exploded.
Lessons & tips: Read Literature, listen to music, make friends that cannot speak your mother tongue.
Resources: A good Spanish English dictionary and for when you get good and the spanish gets tough: a pure Spanish dictionary
