I’m in Year 12 IB HL Spanish (the absolute highest class available in my school), but I’m not yet fluent. I can’t wait to spend time in Spain and Latin America and hone my skills!

How to speak fluent spanish
It made me
Happy
 "My parents are Dominican, so I wanted to know what they where saying, instead of them struggling to tell me simple things. Its took 2 years, but now I'm even in Spanish 5 in the 10th grade! "
How I did it: As funny as it may sound, I learned to speak fluent Spanish by just speaking! I would just hold things up to my mom and say "whats this called?" and she'd say it in Spanish, and then I just practice it. I also just watch T.v shows in Spanish, with subtitles. It really helped! and soon I learned to read and write. All you have to do is speak and practice! Lessons & tips: -Speak as much Spanish as you possibly know with native speakers, its helps a lot with your pronunciation. |

How I did it: My sister started learning Spanish first, and she would teach me as she learned. I picked up the basics that way, then decided to try for Spanish classes. In December 2008 I spent 2 weeks in Mexico visiting my sister, who now lives there, and was able to understand and speak with complete ease. Read how I did it…

I’ve been studying spanish in school for years. I never really had much intrest in it and I sort of always slacked off. It just started clicking to me and I wish now that I had studied harder and actually tried. Who knows where I could have been with it by now? I speak spanish with customers at my job sometimes, but I am far from fluent.
elzi carpe diem!
Motivation

I can speak some Spanish, actually I was pretty good at it 4 years ago, when I was attending real classes, reading books and watching Spanish language movies, and then slowly I forgot it. I stopped practicing and now I am really ashamed of speaking this language. Last summer I was two weeks in Mexico and was trying to refresh my Spanish. Well, simple things like buying in the store or ordering a drink were easy, but real conversation… I could just smile nicely, what a shame. I need to start again.

I love Spanish and I would really love to speak it fluently- it’s just so hard to learn without knowing any spanish people or having the oppurtunity to practice…! I reckon I’ll get there eventually though :)

Good literature for a moderate reader of Spanish

Are there any good books that are beyond the juvenile level but not super difficult for someone with more than a superficial but less than expert knowledge of spanish?

I’m studying interpreting in Spanish at uni, but I didn’t know a word of Spanish to begin with!
In the last year I’ve learnt to write in Spanish, read in Spanish, COMPREHEND spoken Spanish (that was a hard one), now I’m mainly working on good spoken Spanish. I’m miles from fluent but I think I’ll get there :)
