Learning a language does not have to be stressful. Nothing is more natural; it can actually be quite a bit of fun to master a new language! Focus on the opportunities that speaking another language can bring. If you travel, it can make communication much less of a problem. You might even have an easier time communicating with people in your own city. If you know two or more languages, you are also qualified for many more jobs. Spanish is definitely emerging as America's second language.
Congratulations on your decision to learn Spanish! One great thing, the Spanish language is not hard to learn. Even if you have trouble learning languages, Spanish is so widely spoken that you'll find lots of different methods to help you learn. Next we'll go into some strategies you can employ to make learning Spanish a whole lot easier and more fun.
There is probably no better way to become fluent in a new language than to go somewhere that forces you to speak it constantly. For anyone wanting to learn Spanish, going to a country where that was the main language would be a way to gain fluency. There are, of course, certain places in the U.S. where you could use this immersion method right at home. Of course, when you visit another country you don't have the convenient option of using your native language if you feel like it. The immersion system is one that many experts insist is the fastest and most effective way to learn. For some, however, this puts too much pressure on them. You will have to decide for yourself.
Find a Spanish course available on CD. Courses on CD are a great way for someone who is shy to learn how to speak a new language. You can just listen to how the words are spoken and then used in a sentence. The CD can walk you through the same basic learning steps that a classroom based course will use, but you won't have to worry about making mistakes in front of other people. Another great benefit is you can take your Spanish course with you. You can just use a CD player, or you can download lessons on an MP3 player and you're all set! So there's no single location where you must learn. Whenever you can, start to think in Spanish rather than your native language. You may find this hard at first, but you can gradually learn how to transform your thoughts into a new language. You will need to start slow with this. Periodically throughout your day ask yourself how you would say the words you are thinking in Spanish. if you do this often, you'll find that you get much more skilled at it. The more you do it, the more quickly your mind will be able to convert words into the new language. Then, one day, you may suddenly realize you were thinking in Spanish on your own. Then, to improve your conversational skills, you'll want to practice speaking your thoughts out loud.
Place some kind of note or label on various items, with the Spanish word for it. You can do this both at home and work, if it's practical. You will be constantly viewing the words then, without even having to consciously think about it. By gaining a thorough knowledge of the right words, you won't later make a mistake that could prove to be an embarrassment. Beginners often unwittingly say things that are unintentionally funny or even offensive to native speakers. The reason this method of tagging works is that your mind immediately begins to think using the new language rather than your native one whenever you look at the labeled items.
Signup for a course. Many people feel intimidated to learn a language along side others. In a class, students usually have to talk in front of the other students. This can be very intimidating!
But it's a great thing to do, no matter how many blunders you make in front of everyone. That's the best way to learn because everyone else is learning, too! You can all make the same mistakes together. It will certainly be less intimidating than trying out your new language with a local who might not be so forgiving when you use a word or tense incorrectly.
Be sure to work on your listening skills for any language. Some languages put more emphasis on the 'verbal' than the written. If the language is 'alive,' then it will be important to learn how to listen to it. Knowing how to write the alphabet or how to write a correct sentence will only get you so far. Naturally, you'll want to be able to understand other people when they speak to you. The best way to do this is to listen to as much of your chosen language as possible. When you're able to positively identify the language after hearing a few words spoken, then that's a sure sign you're well on your way to learning it.
Test yourself with flashcards Flashcards are an old school way of learning. Teachers in so many different areas still use them because they have proven helpful over the years.

Flashcards are usually pretty small so you can take them with you when you leave the house and work on your Spanish in your spare time. It can also be useful to work with someone else and have them test you with the flashcards. Simply use one side for Spanish and the other for your original language.
