But don't worry, let's keep it in secret and here I'll teach you some useful things.
First of all, relax, take your coffee and sit back!! learning Spanish is not that difficult as it seems, and much less with the following pieces of advice. Let's get started!
Ohhh, remember!! I'm not selling anything, just helping you on how to learn Spanish faster....
General tips - how to learn Spanish faster
If your goal is to actually learn to speak Spanish conversationally rather than learning grammar (though it is important), then my first advice is to look for native speakers and become friends. You can make this in any social network that nowadays allows meeting people around the world with no borders at all.For instance, on Facebook, you can search for Spanish learning groups or fan pages. Undoubtedly, right now your profile is open hahahaha,,, I've got you once more ;). So, what are you waiting for? just give it a try and for sure will find dozens of them.
Did you find any? Join and introduce yourself, tell them: "Hi, I want to learn Spanish and make friends". After that, I can assure you'll receive instant answers. This is my first present for you, just copy and paste: Hola a todos! quiero aprender español y hacer amigos. You're done. Great!
No, you're not done. This is just the beginning. Plop!
Start making conversations with your new friends and ask them to connect by Skype or WhatsApp. When you have their contacts, chat or videochat with them once a day, 5 to 15 minutes or more if you can. Believe me! in a month you will learn more than 500 words including verbs, idioms and much more. And the best, for free. I like everything for free. hahaha, who doesn't?
My second advice is about learning Spanish through cultural activities which bring exciting and enriching experiences. Enjoy and take advantage of every opportunity to engage in culturally rich activities such as visits to museums, natural parks, beaches, concerts, sightseeing tours, hiking, restaurants and sporting events. These social and educational outings are ideal and easy to practice the Spanish language and attain a better understanding of the society around you.
But Franklin! How can I do this? 😲
Don't worry my friend, I'm here to help you. Have you ever heard about volunteering? Yes, you read it right! Being volunteer is an awesome opportunity because you will be immersed in a multi-cultural environment which gives you the chance to serve and next to it, meet new friends and practice real Spanish language.
And how can I find a volunteer opportunity?
It is quite easy!! Just search in your local area about volunteering in tourism. They will accept you with open arms, trust me! Hostels receive people from around the world. Surely, you will find Spanish native people to talk and to practice with.
And here comes my second gift for you today: Whether you practice Spanish through online chatting with other people or having cultural experiences, always carry your notebook with you and write down every new word you learn. This is the only way you could review and practice them later as these both are self-study ideas. Otherwise, new words will easy fade away from your mind in a matter of minutes. In few words, you wasted your time learning Spanish!
Advantages of how to learn Spanish without paying any cent at all:
- Meet new friends. Of course!
- Learn fluent Spanish. This is because you are speaking with real people; not machine or app pronunciations.
My third advice is to learn the correct words and phrases that you'll use in your daily routine. Don't start learning a bunch of easy words you will forget quickly and won't take any advantage from them. Also, you can search for the most frequently used words in any language.
And, what's my daily routine?
Dang!! I have to tell you everything.....😏
I mean the basics: common greetings, introducing yourself, taking the bus, at the restaurant, paying the bill, at the elevator, the weather, hobbies, your family, simple directions, shopping, money and time, and so on. Everything you need to survive.
My third giveaway for you: make a list of 100 most frequently used verbs, 100 most frequently used adjectives, 100 most frequently used adverbs, and finally, 100 most frequently used nouns. Once you have them, focus your learning on this list and you'll be mastering the Spanish language so easy in less than a month.
There you are! Three simple ideas to learn Spanish fast and easy. What else do you need? Actually, I have more ideas to share with you, but to start they are ok. If you want more, just leave a comment at the end.
Now, let's go with some easy technical things you should know and learn.
Hey Franklin, take it easy!! I'm getting bored.
Hahahaha, ok let's go with a little Spanish joke.....
Hahahaaa, don't worry, you don't have to learn it. Actually is a bad joke. 😒
Technical tips - how to learn Spanish faster
#1 - In Spanish, the vowel sounds are very important as in any language you want to learn. So this should be the first sound to recognize when listening to Spanish people speak.What are you waiting? Search in Youtube "Spanish vowel sounds" or "Pronunciación de las vocales en español".
After that, I truly recommend learning every sound composed of syllables, such as:
- ma, me, mi, mo, mu
- pa, pe, pi, po, pu
- la, le, li, lo, lu,,,,,,,,and so on...
What!!! how to learn all those sounds at the same time?
Hey!! you don't have to memorize, just try to get used to them. Spanish vowel sounds are easy to learn because the sound never changes, as it happens in other languages. Nevertheless, you need to train your ear to associate Spanish sounds with the written form.
My fourth present..... woow! Speak, speak and speakkk.... Don't get tired of talking Spanish. This'll help you gain more confidence, lose shyness and learn more vocabulary. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
Franklin! how to learn and speak? I'm too shy. 😓
Ok, let me give you three awesome slaps...✊✊✊👋👋👋... Feel better? 👍 Let's continue!
#2 - When reading, speaking and listening, don't try to translate word by word. This is the worst "how to learn" practice you can make with any language.
Instead, listen or read carefully the complete sentence and try to determine the correct sense of it, even if there are words you don't know yet.
Tricks - how to learn Spanish faster
Start reading a book is one of the best practices to learn Spanish faster.Franklin! I bought a Spanish book of 5.000 pages .....
Whaaaatttt, are you crazy!!!?? No way dude! Begin with an easy short story, no more than 50 to 100 page. That'll be ok. Even much better, if it is a visual book, then you can associate words with images.
Download a free app and schedule a daily routine of minimum two hours. If you don't know where to start, check this app list for learning Spanish.
Also, look for your favorites tv series in Spanish. As you already know them, it'll be easy to tie in terms, actors names, and everything related to it; you can focus on how to pronounce words in Spanish and follow the written form by enabling subtitles.
Finally, search on Youtube for Spanish songs, but first, make a conscientious exercise and DON'T READ the lyrics. Listen to one song carefully three or four times and try to write it down on a paper, then you can search for the lyrics and compare them. Obviously, there'll be differences, that's what is it about.
