I think it’s a really nice language, and I’ve been teaching myself for about a month now. I remember a lot of the basics from primary and high school, so although I’m not fluent I’m going to try and stick at it. I usually start learning a language, become half-fluent and then just give up but I really would like to keep with this.



Frustrating 2 months ago

I’ve taken Spanish for years and I can understand a lot if it’s spoken clearly. But I’m terrified to practice speaking to people in public. Even with my Spanish-speaking friends I get nervous to speak.

I work in a store where tons of Spanish speaking customers come in. I always feel so bad when I know they don’t really understand what I’m saying in English, and that I could probably explain it to them in Spanish but I end up just not doing it because I’m afraid of sounding silly or something. And because my accent is really good (so I’ve been told) people automatically assume I speak a lot more than I do, or that I’ll understand even if they speak really quickly. So when people ask me “Hablas Espanol?” I’ve started just saying “No.”

I understand a lot, and I can speak pretty well if I have time to gather my thoughts and don’t feel pressured. Ugh. I really want to study abroad somewhere where I will be forced to speak the language. Maybe I will finally be able to get over this stupid mental block I have.

I’m trying to speak a little bit of Spanish every day – even if it’s just to say “Hola, como estas?” or “Puedo ayudarte con algo?” They are small, simple sentences, but even saying them to strangers is a really big deal for me. It seems like I’ve been making a little progress.

I’ve always been a bit dopey when it comes to languages – but I think after making so many friends who are fluent in Spanish or for whom Spanish is a first language, I can’t resist the temptation to try, try again. I think the best way to do this is to travel to South or Central America and study in an immersion program.

I went to Mexico. If you are studying spanish, I highly recommend that you
A. Do all your homework and SPEAK your homework
B. Try your best to sound authentic
C. GO TO A SPANISH SPEAKING COUNTRY and Cabo or whatever vacation spots do not count

On my trip there was a girl who spoke better spanish than me, but her accent was extremely american. The tourguide said my spanish sounds natural. You need to be able to say at least some sentences as if it were natural. Which means you need to practice your basics so much that you can say some simple sentences naturally. This will help you to sound more authentic and make forming more complex sentences easier.

I want to learn Spanish: 5 months ago

Well, I speak French, Korean and English. That’s bloody great. I took a Spanish course and two years later, well, amigos, it slipped. I still remember more than others, but come on, you don’t know a language until you know it, right?
