hi,
I take Spanish at college, but i would really like to learn more than just healthy living, sports etc. I would love to become more fluent with using the verbs and tenses etc when i speak, so that i am more confident in the June exams. I have already signed up to online lessons- rosetta stone etc. But i would like another way. does anyone have any ideas?
saludos,
Jess
I speak Spanish each day; have studied the language at the university level for the last 4 years (University of Cabrillo in Aptos, CA) as well as studying extensively on my own. My speaking skills are excellent and my reading and writing skills are outstanding. More importantly, though, I speak the language each day. The reason most students find Spanish difficult is because university level courses in Spanish are taught in order to make one a Spanish professor instead of a Spanish speaker! And no one ever really takes Spanish seriously in high school; in no time at all, high school students forget everything they learned in Spanish class. If they learned anything at all!
The reason I am fluent in Spanish is that I went back to college only to get the fundamentals of grammar under my belt, so to speak. Honestly, I would never have become conversationally fluent if I had not studied every day on my own, from a variety of sources, stressing practical and useful conversational skills instead of countless hours of boring, dry and complicated grammar. My reading and writing skills are excellent, as well as my speaking and comprehension, because I studied on my own every day for 4 years. I continue to study every day in a variety of ways, but more importantly, I speak the language each day, too. I would suggest that you don’t place any time constraints on yourself in terms of giving yourself a deadline. Take your time, study a little each day, and know of what you want to speak and how you want to use the language. I don’t like it when people say Spanish is easy; it simplifies the richness and history of this great romance language. When you hear someone say "I became fluent in Spanish in 3 months", I can assure you that the only thing they’re fluent in is ordering food in Spanish. It takes time. It is florid and beautiful and quite immense and you do need to grasp the fundamentals of grammar so you don’t speak the language incorrectly. However, unless you’re studying to become a Spanish professor, remember that the ability to engage in a spontaneous conversation is much more useful and practical than explaining the difference between the present tense and the subjunctive tense.
Also, it is extremely important to study on your own in order to develop your own style of speaking, your own vocabulary. Most of my Spanish is based on Mexican usage of the language, but I have also incorporated many phrases into my vocabulary that come from other Spanish speaking countries. Develop your own style and don’t let other people change it. As my great friend Enrique says: "Cada hispanohablante tiene su propio canto." Literally: "Each Spanish speaker has his own song". I hope I have helped and I would be glad to answer any questions about Spanish or help you with any translations.
Thank you, John
About 2-3 weeks ago I started working at a McDonald’s where the majority of my coworkers speak Spanish as a first language. I get along great with them, and I’m trying to learn the language with their help. I’ve picked up several new words and phrases by listening and asking questions, but I’d really like to have real conversations with them.
Can anyone suggest a site or something that offers a free introductory course of good quality? I can’t afford to get lots of books and lessons. There are probably plenty of courses out there, but I wouldn’t know where to begin to look. Can you suggest a course that you perhaps have used in the past, or know someone that has had a good experience with one?
Thank you in advance!
learnspanish.com: The grammar lessons are explained very well, but there aren’t very many practice exercises, so after studying a grammar lesson you can find more elsewhere on the internet by googling "spanish present progressive" or whatever grammar subject you’re looking for.

These have really helped me improve my listening comprehension. It’s an educational telenovela series, very 90s, but keeps your attention enough to help you learn a lot. A good way of applying grammar lessons you’ve already learned.
I also like livemocha. The lessons are slow but you can write small writing exercises and record yourself speaking the language and have native speakers correct your grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, etc.
I would like to learn Spanish. But I can’t afford lessons from others. Just wondering
