How to learn Spanish
It made me
encantada
 "Doing it quick and intensive was the only way to make it stick with me."
How I did it: I signed up for an intensive Spanish course, and intensive it was! Four days a week for two hours, after work, from 7 to 9pm. Four weeks, total of 15 lessons. At times I was completely exhausted, and most nights, I went to bed soon after getting home. But we managed to do all times, past, present and future, and lots of other grammar stuff, and had fun doing it! We even did a karaoke session of Spanish songs. I am going to Spain for work in one month and that will be the real proof. But at the moment, I feel reasonably fluent in Spanish. Lessons & tips: The most important thing was that our teacher got us to talk and write

How I did it: ..I think after one year of effort and study, I can mark this goal as done. I've still got a lot to do with Spanish, I know. But in Spanish, I made a progress that surprised me.

AHHHH!!!!
How I did it: 10 months ago I said goodbye to the 9-5 world, quit my job and packed my bag. I was going to follow a lifelong dream and spend a year living in Latin America and studying Spanish.I had studied Spanish at various times in the past and had traveled in a few Spanish speaking countries, so I knew enough to travel around, but in no way considered myself a speaker of the Spanish language.I spent 6 months taking classes and the rest of the… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I studied by candlelight every night (well...lamp light) in a book. I did every exercise in the book. I made a lot of Spanish speaking friends. I started a job in the kitchen. I ordered at Mexican restaurants in Spanish. Oh yeah, and I got a lovely Mexican boyfriend. With these combined, I learned a new language, opened up many job opportunities, and made a bunch of new friends! Read how I did it…

I did more listening than speaking, and I spoke mostly in English, but the Spanish I heard, I mostly understood. Yay! Our next meeting, we’re doing Salsa at the Pier. Yay to that, too!

the man i’m with is puerto rican, and while his family speaks english fluently, they often communicate in spanish. I have always loved the language and thought that it sounded beautiful. However it’s been 3 years since i spoke it, and I am no longer fluent. I want to relearn the language to be closer to my community too
