I'm going on a trip to a Spanish speaking country in a month so I need help learning Spanish. What is the best way to learn and are there any good programs or anything I can do? By the way right now I only speak English and only know some very basic Spanish words.
Your gonna have to cram.. 1 month.. I've learned ---- in italian after 1.5 years .. but no worries, thats different. We dont actually learn in school here so it's good... at least that class. Umm.. try.. books tapes dictionaries online translations - tho you should double check some stuff just learn basic phrases and such first.. greetings, questions of time, place, direction, whatever...
I have been cramming lately but I'm still stuck on a lot of basic phrases those are some good suggestions thanks.
And also, some people are better at things if they repeat themself saying it, or if they write it over and over it gets stuck in their head or something.. Figuring something out like that to see how you learn best might be a good idea also.
donde esta el bano. all u need where is the bathroom =P im in spanish right now in high school, its friggin hard for me
Well spanish is so boring but easier for me since my speaking language is portuguese... I think that a good way to learn is waching movies with spanish subtitles, buying a spanish traveler book (This king of guide that contains some phrases that help u in a trip) or buying a spanish student book... The basic is: Hola = Hi Como estás? = How are you? Onde yo estoy? = Where am I? Como chego na calle ....? = How do I get to .... streat? Usted hablas ingles? = Do you speak english? Yo quiero .... = I want ... Estoy perdido! Usted podería me ajudar? = I'm lost! Could you help me ...
maybe get some audio recording and memorize them? Lol. But I suggest you get a Spanish dictionary and read it. Like what I did for Jap.
tapes are best as you are able to hear how the words are pronounced instead of reading loads and not saying them correctly
the talk now cd series is pretty good...i used the japanese one, and a few books about the language (grammar, pronunciation, dictionary, short phrase book).
i wouldent worry i have been to spain many times and i dont know any spanish apart from hello and stuff most people talk wquite good english there a nd they understanmd english very easy because over 92% of thier school can offer english
Try Pimsuelar Approach (not sure if i spelled it right) , search it in google, it's the best there is, i am learning German and every single word gets stuck in your head for good btw if i were you i would learn a different language, spanish is very similliar to english and if you're just looking to learn a new language (incase you dont need it because you're going to a college in spain or something), you should learn a different language. lol try being an Israeli Arab, a 13 - 15 year old is supposed to be Fluent or sem! fluent in 3 languages, Arabic/Hebrew/English, or else he'll never get to college.
