Learning
Spanish or any new language can be a fun and challenging thing to do. The
process of successful language acquisition involves using not one mode to
learn the language, but the use of a multi-modal approach to learning. Many
Spanish language schools and Spanish language software programs make it seem
simple. It is not. It requires some very hard work, but it can also be fun
and rewarding. There are limitations on tutoring, classes at the college
level and using software. |
We receive
inquiries very year from students who want to learn to actually speak Spanish,
not just study understand the verb forms and other structures of grammar.
Usually these are students that have studied a language in high school or
at the university level that complain that although they understand the structure
of the language, they cannot speak it very well. Most of the time, this is
because they were not encouraged nor given opportunities to speak! In a
university Spanish class, even in a conversational Spanish class of 30-50
students, how many minutes in a semester or quarter does each student really
spend speaking Spanish? Most of the time, it is less than 1-2 hours! Here
we offer some tips in this site for making your study of Spanish
successful. These are some of the ideas that we have used that at have been
useful to us in improving our Spanish
skills! |
