How I did it: I've been studying French since I was about 10 and always knew I would take something language related at university. I ended up taking French but started Spanish from scratch as well. I went from not even knowing "hola" to more or less fluent within 2 years. I learnt the basics in England at university, but I spent a year in Spain on Erasmus which is where I REALLY learnt Spanish. I arrived there thinking i'd be ok, I didn't realise that… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I first decided that I really wanted to learn Spanish in 2004 during a trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua. At the time I only knew some simple phrases and I couldn't understand anything that was said to me.

I am hispanic but born in raised here in california. I have lived in many small rural towns with my grandparents. Did not know that all the people we knew spoke spanish differently because of the town they came from. So now at 37 yrs old, I say words and people tell that is what the people from such atown say or from this town and soooo on. so yes I dont speak it nowhere near the way I should.I want to be fluent.
Celesta is chilling at home
I changed to a different course because i didn’t learn enough of the lessons we had there.
So last year i started at the ‘volksuniversiteit’ where they have better lessons.
I just finished the beginner year, and after the summer i’m going to continue with the 2nd year.
I’ve learned much better Spanish, since we only spoke Spanish since day 1, and almost no Dutch.
I think it will take me quite some years untill i speak fluent Spanish, but i will get there some day!
My Spanish is decent but I want to be truly fluent. I want to spend time in a Spanish-speaking place when I have the money and time.

I have taken many courses in Spanish and used it some while policing, but only stumble my way through the language. I want to be able to speak conversationally.
