I want to start learning Spanish seriously. Any tips?

[ThrobbingHood]

The only Spanish I know is from the Culo Gigante series. I really want to become fluent in it in the next 6-10 months.

What’s the best method? A Rosetta Stone dvd? Taking classes? Learning through friends?

Thanks in advance.

getting butt fukked by a cuban tranny is the only way.
it's gotta be missionary style so you can read his lips...it makes the learning easier.

Start by learning basic grammar.

Then all conjugations. By heart. We got espagnolfacile here for both conjugations and grammar but you must have thousands of site for english users.

Make heavy use of quizlet for vocabulary. Create your own pages on every subject, politics, house, furniture, food, animals, environment, etc... And test yourself daily.

Watch movies and news in spanish with spanish subtitles. Try to talk to yourself in spanish.

You'll learn in no time. Buena suerte

Go live in a Spanish speaking country or only have Spanish speaking friends if you wanna be fluent

My cuz learned in bout 4 months, but he pirated Rosetta Stone and practiced for like 4 hours a day

I think the work you put in is the most important part. But w/ language specifically it helps to speak, hear, and read

If you thinking about Rosetta stone try out Duolingo first it's the same shyt but Duolingo is free. Also you can skype and talk to native speakers and gett lessons on various sites. I use this one for my French and Antillean Kreyol. But lowkey I'd stop studying french and kreyol like some months ago finna just learn Arabic or Chinese so I can cash out on that FLPB.

I used to date a Dominican so I picked up the basics. If she wasn’t such a bytch i would’ve been speaking fluently in a year.

Yeah definitely. I plan to speak fluently by summer 2019. I’m gonna put the hours in.

Yeah man Italki and Duolingo is a great combination. Like you'll be speaking so fast believe it or not. I would've been fluent in kreyol by now if I kept studying vocabulary because I already understood the grammar fully and how to form sentence the most words I knew in kreyol at my peak was like 500 but now it's probably like 130 from not study. So the things I can talk about in kreyol is very limited. You can also look into getting Anki to help with your vocabulary. They have entire decks with thousands of vocabulary words you can pace yourself to remember.

Appreciate it fam.

Start with Duolingo.

Buy a book Like Spanish Demystified, and a pocket dictionary or dictionary app.

Listen to the local Spanish radio, or download any spanish learning podcast.

Start watching a novela with subtitles on Netflix. like El Patron Del Mal, La Nina, EL Cartel. Casa De Papel.........

Go on Youtube and learn the slang for each country

This is just step one.

 

[Maude]

To learn a new language you have to speak it breh, regularly. When you learned english you wasnt watching youtube or tv, people were talking to you.

look up some common phrases online.
write them down, learn them.
Go out side and start talking to Spanish speakers with them phrases.
they will help you with pronunciation and new vocab
write down what they teach you and any new phrases you learn.

Use an app, duolingo or whatever for vocab but look up resources on the grammar on your own. The grammar is most important to language learning IMO. Once you understand it, it's just a matter of building your vocabulary more and more. Watch Telemundo or Univision for listening comprehension as much as possible. Join a conversation group. One thing most people won't do that I suggest is teaching what you know to others. Don't get ahead of yourself but if you're able to teach it you really understand it, and it'll challenge you to increase your fluency.

This. If I had to do it all over again, I would have learned the different verb tenses first.
