How to speak spanish
How I did it: I actually used Pimsleur and only did Spanish I. Granted that kind of Spanish was a little bit different than Spanish in Mexico (which was what I learned it for). Nevertheless I was able to communicate very well with the locals in Spanish and actually made some really good friends. Even though I don't speak expert Spanish, it's still pretty conversational and has been since my trip to Mexico. Now I just gotta keep practicing before I forget!
Lessons & tips:
- Practice consistently and patiently!
Resources: Pimsleur CDs, Spanish I
