In America, the average student takes about 4-8 *years* of Spanish through middle and high school, if they choose Spanish as their foreign language class. So it's quite common for people to learn Spanish, at least in the US. But it's impressive for someone to learn it, completely from scratch, like Anna did

5:40 Recording yourself naturally speaking (or reading) is great bc you can review it so find weak points and then see progress over time. There‘s a technique called the 4-3-2 method where you (or a group taking turns) pick a topic and then speak nonstop for 4 minutes. Then, you say the same content but condensed into 3 minutes, then 2 minutes. You do a little research just beforehand if you need talking points. The 4-3-2 technique forces you to A) Speak B) Rehearse the speech C) streamline the speech. The 2 min speech will be much more „fluent“ than the 4 min!

[@tanvishdesai]

@@AnnaLenkovska you are my all time inspiration

[@RoronoaZoro-ii3ig]

Keep in mind, for all language learners in general: Ask yourself why you want to learn a language. It's always important to know why you are wanting to learn as it can greatly affect how you learn and study. If you are wanting to learn a language because you are fascinated and intrigued by the culture than you'll have an easier time learning. But if you want to learn a language to be praised, a polyglot, or cool, you may not truly be interested in what your target language is and that can make it very difficult for you to study and learn. Whatever reason you have does not have to stop you, but, you must understand your desire in order to cater towards it. Recognize it's not gonna be easy, check on yourself as whole and evaluate if the energy is worth it. You do not want to burn yourself out, so take time to think about these things. Im gonna guess a good amount of you are doing this for fun, it's a thing a lot of people love to do. With that said, do not forget that it's something you are doing for fun. If it's becoming a chore and the interest/motivation is gone, then take a break to either find a new motivation or halt. Unless your reasoning is crucial that you must put up with it being difficult for when your no longer interested, there is no reason you should stress yourself out over it. It's okay to not know languages and it's okay to take breaks. Ya ain't gonna learn quickly. There is no correct time period to learn something and there are no expectations. Especially if you are just doing it for fun. Do not beat yourself up if you didn't learn it in the time you thought you should have. It takes people years to learn new languages and even longer to master it. Pace yourself and be kind because it's not an easy thing to do. If it takes you 10 years then so be it, at least you didn't end up feeling awful after pressuring yourself to do something for 2 weeks straight.

[@Dr_Ivan]

Si

[@wafarris]

Of course, if you are pushing 70 like me then 10 years seems a bit excessive. :-) But those are good tips. I have giving myself 3 years and will re-evaluate then to see if I am making good progress and how far I think I can take my learning of Spanish.

[@IonizedComa]

I want to learn it to better communicate with the people around me, since their English is not so good either

[@sallym3994]

I grew up and still live in an area where Spanish is spoken by at least 1/3 of the population here, and this number seems to be increasing. People who speak Spanish and English are more likely to be hired here as I have seen and noticed over the last 15 years. I decided it was time to try to remember what Spanish I learned in High School and build upon it, so this video is greatly appreciated. Thank you. I'm extremely rusty in what Spanish I remember and honestly I didn't do very well in Spanish class in High School lots of years ago. Thank you to all the Spanish speaking ladies and gentlemen who are so patient and helpful to those of us learning Spanish. I always feel very extremely shy and scared to speak Spanish to others. I feel I make so many mistakes and my face burns red, but thank you all for your patience with those who are learning Spanish. Any suggestions on how to not be so shy when speaking Spanish as I really want to learn Spanish, so I can use it in my community where I live. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

As a native spanish speaker I recommend you to listen "Creativo" hosted by Roberto Martinez, they talk of aaalll kind of topics that may interest you. If you're more into music try with "Jaime altozano" or "ShaunTrack" they analyze and deconstruct music, they have top notch videos. And if you're more into science go and watch videos on "QuantumFracture" , is one of the greatest physics and science channels that deserves a look. You can always turn on subtitles. That's all I got to say, enjoy spanish.

[@sprachverliebt]

Hi Anna! Your ultimate guide to learning Spanish is incredibly comprehensive and helpful for language learners like me. I appreciate your emphasis on dialect and accent choice as it adds authenticity to the learning experience. Prioritising speaking over other skills is in line with my own language learning style. I've found that immersing myself in speaking practice has sped up my progress and increased my confidence in using the language. Your study methods and tips are invaluable. I've tried similar techniques in my language learning and they've been incredibly effective in improving fluency and coherence. Also, your recommendations for incorporating Spanish into everyday life through apps, podcasts, KZbinrs, singers and TV shows are fantastic. Immersing yourself in authentic content is the key to mastering a language. Thank you for sharing!

[@EusebiusAT]

I can highly recommend watching live streams on twitch/youtube in Spanish. It's of course advanced Spanish, but the interaction in chat allows you to write, listen and converse at the same time, and you can get a lot of context clues from whatever activity they are streaming.

[@kirstenanderson3783]

So even if I don’t understand anything I’m still learning?

[@EusebiusAT]

@@kirstenanderson3783 no, you of course have to understand something, but it doesn’t have to ne much. If you can read a bit and if you have some basic vocab down, yoy can infer a lot of what's being talked about by reading chat, and that in turn helps you sus out the meaning of some of the words you hear. Additionally, if you're watching something you like and are interested in (video games, news, politics) you have extra insight that helps understanding + you can develope a vocab for tge things you're interested in.

[@styles7237]

do you have any recommendations?

[@EusebiusAT]

@@styles7237 It's been a while since I studied Spanish for real, but I sometimes check in on this Twitch streamer called Karim. He talks about a lot of EU politics, which means I'm familiar with the topics and can follow conversation.

[@Lily-sc4so]

My go to method for new vocab and grammar is reading my favourite book in my target language while listening to the audio version. While reading i mark the words that i don't know so i can look them up after each chapter, and them i read the chapter out loud. It's a really great way to learn a language!

Guys another small tip is listen to SPANISH songs and read the spanish dictionary & try to remember at least 5-10 words per day then the next day you write down the word and write the english meaning.

i took 5 years of Spanish lessons in school from age 12-16, but I stopped because I wanted to fit some other courses into my schedule for my 11th and 12th grade of high school. Although, I still retained most of it, I was failing to remember some conjugations and vocabulary, and what REALLY helped me was listening to Selena’s music! During quarantine in December of last year, I watched the Selena movie for the first time with my mom when it was on Hulu and i was HOOKED on her life story. Soon, I began listening to her discography album by album and now I’ve actually memorized most of her songs! From choosing songs to learn, breaking down the lyrics, trying to match her pronunciation by ear, and even watching her Spanish interviews, it made learning Spanish so much more fun! I can now say that my Mexican Spanish accent has improved and I can speak much faster than before! DEFINITELY listen to Selena! Her music is so fun and there’s plenty of variety (cumbia, ballad, 80s, mariachi, etc)
