4/10 ways to learn Spanish - Watch
Some people are lucky. They get forced to learn a language at school (quite often English if they’re from a non-English speaking country) and before they know it they’re fluent and happily chatting to locals like they were born in the place. If, like me, you were never properly persuaded to learn a language at school it becomes a lot trickier. I learned Swedish and lived in Sweden for a while and I’m currently working my way through Spanish for Latin America, but its not easy. The following are some guidelines for people who want to pick up their first foreign language.
4. Watch
Watching a DVD? Turn on the subtitles and try to read them. You would do the same for a foreign film. Anything that repeats those words into your conscience is helping you learn the language. If you like a popular series, see if you can get it in the foreign language version. Something like the Simpsons is more then a solid week of funny language classes. Just be aware the translation might not be 100% accurate.
