How to become fluent in spanish
It made me
Accomplished!
 "I moved to Mexico and lived in an orphanage as a volunteer for one year. one year. Great experience!!"
How I did it: No one spoke English in the small town where I lived. I attended a 3 wk intensive course @ a local language school to get me started. Before the year was up, I was speaking Spanish fluently.

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
really happy!
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…
It made me
feel cultured
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 wanted to be able to return to Latin America and actually be able to communicate with all the friendly people I came across. I took three semesters of Spanish at a Jr. college, I enjoyed it so much I decided to major … Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well I just took a butt load of Spanish classes in High School. I read some books including parts from En El Tiempo De Las Mariposas. I spoke with my friends and found that listening for phrases to repeat helped a lot. Read how I did it…

I understand almost everything that is said to me, but when it’s my turn to talk, I get all jumbly. It’s like I can let my brain go soft when someone else is speaking and let it go on autopilot, it just makes sense. When I speak, I have to figure out what I want to say, then translate it into sound in my brain (I never really learned how to read or write it very well- I learned on the streets, not in school) and once I get the sounds right, I have to say them out loud. I usually get my point across, but sometimes not very well.
I can’t go abroad right now, but I often work with migrant farmworkers, so I am immersed.
Maybe it’s a confidence thing.

I found a great site (SpanishDict.com) that has FREE online Spanish lessons. Most of what I’ve seen on the lessons has been review for me so far, but I have learned a little, and it’s always good to review! I’m really excited about finding this website and going through all the lessons.

O Magazine recommended practicing for 30 minutes a day and learning 20 new vocab words a week if you’re not able to immerse yourself in a spanish-speaking country at the moment… I think I’ll try that soon.

I already know French and English, so why stop there? I already understand 60% of the spanish language, now I just need more practice to speak it fluently. I recently had a full conversation in spanish with a guy from mexico sitting next to me on an airplane on the way to Los Angeles. I wasn’t that terrible…
So I guess I’m on my way to becoming trilingual…
