How To Teach Yourself Spanish (5 tips)

[@lashaonda]

I never thought to look for a college syllabus online! Thanks for that tip.

No prob. Gotta think outside of the box when it comes to teaching yourself. : )

Absolutely brilliant!

[@francoisr4036]

@ShonBay There are a few components to studying Spanish easily . One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the Fergs Spanish Blueprint (check it out on google) definately the best resource that I've heard of. Look at all the great information .

[@korviscapetrova5269]

Same I never thought

[@sosashades6702]

I want to learn Spanish because I’m going to have a baby girl and my in laws only speak Spanish so I know the basics but I need to know it entirely so I can teach her and she won’t lose that connection with her grandparents and she know her culture

[@Tigtuohy]

Si se puede?!! The amazing thing is... your baby will learn from her abuelos. You don’t have to do anything except let them watch her. As for you... what are the -10 things you would say to them if they spoke English? Break it down And be gentle with yourself One last thing PRONOUNCIATION English vowels harsh Ey-EE EYE-OH-YOU Them Ah -A-EE OH( short) OO Ask them to speak only spanish with U S L O w L y Blessings and it’s gunna be fun!!!

[@finelightgold8516]

same here my daughters side is completely fluent on her father but I wanna learn aswell

[@214brandonjs]

That’s awesome I’m learning Spanish to speak to my future in laws as well

[@trowwzers5057]

Thinking in Spanish is some of the best advice. I study for 8 hours a day including watching Bob Esponja and watching Narcos with Spanish subtitles

[@floridian4072]

Can you break down your study habits. I never was good at studying

[@trowwzers5057]

Floridian 407 Immersion! I used to work a full time job in construction. Most of my coworkers spoke broken English. So I had to speak to them in Spanish. Eventually, my Spanish got better and their English too

[@floridian4072]

troww zers thanks! I can write it, read it, and speak it. But the listening part ugh gets to me. I feel so discouraged cause I work around a lot of Latinos and I’m lost when they speak. But when I speak (cause I know the topic obviously) I can keep going but some words I don’t know and I do have complete brain farts

[@Materialgirl_3]

troww zers Have you learned ? A lot ?

[@nortesur9504]

Bro, I understand narcos is a huge reference to learn Spanish for some foreigners but your gonna see many actors in there that in real life they're not native speakers so I recommend you to see : La reina del flow ( more neutral Spanish ) , and pickpockets in Netflix. I'm from Cali but they say Spanish from Bogota is the best spoken in Colombia. I like Spanish from Medellin because the accent but I think Bogota is better for the reason is a hugeeeeeee city..

[@ThePassingVoid]

Present tense, past tense, continuous (1 form), past particle (1 form), "ir a" and "tener que" is what you will use 90% of the time, which is 15 total forms per verb out of the 64ish forms, that's only 20% of the forms being used 90% of the time.

[@jakefalse432]

Thank u. SOOOO MUCHHH

[@ssbhide123]

That's called Pareto rule or 80/20 rule. Applicable for almost all languages..

[@UmYeaSoWhat]

I was wondering about this, thanks so much!!

[@tymendelson6883]

i’m confused, could u explain a little deeper?

[@ThePassingVoid]

@@tymendelson6883 out of the 64 verb forms, you will only use about 15 or so about 90% of the time

[@daviddeasley6080]

You came in clutch with that college syllabus tip, man. Thank you! I'm in Mexico meeting my future in-laws for the first time.

Rickie Walls Happy New Year

[@askplain]

I love this brother's videos. He is proof that Americans are able to learn to speak another language well. We can. The problem is that we don't see the necessity because everyone speaks English. In school, especially if you are Black, you are not encouraged to learn to communicate in another language. The foreign language teachers barely speak the language that they have been employed to teach. One tip to learn to speak another language well is, FIRST, learn to speak your own language well. Many American school children are not taught how English function. If you do not know what a noun is in English, how are you expected to understand what it is in another language.

[@AudiobookLibrary24-7]

Using grammar and vocabulary together, side by side, all the time, makes a lot of sense because that's how the language is daily used.

[@lewisbarnes6700]

Study all the time is so true I've realised I'm studying all the time or picking up new words / frases on the fly that I don't realise I was going to ask about ur website but then u answered my questions before i could type anything :) Good video rickie

Exactly. I don't understand how people don't always apply it. When I was first learning, that was all that I wanted to do. lol Gracias!

[@pablodealvarado80]

Estos videos son increíbles. Gracias por todo el trabajo que haces! As someone who grew up with Californian "Spanglish" in the home and didn't use Spanish for years, these lessons really help with the re-learning process.

Gracias! I'm so glad to be able to help. My goal is to destroy these language barriers. Right now I'm helping some students who take my private lessons reconnect with long lost family members. I love those kinds of stories. Stick with it bro!

[@lanaebrittney]

Your videos are sooooo awesome, best tips I've had and I've been learning and loving Spanish for over 10 years and I can not speak fluently. smh But I realize I never fully put the effort in, along with not having ANYONE to converse with in Spanish. I began revisiting the language in 2012 when I met my husband. He is Dominican and his parents, siblings and even my step-daughter do not speak English, and this has motivated me so much to really continue learning. I have a good foundation, can communicate ok, and now I have many people to talk to in Spanish that are now family! With the help of tips like these and all the others from your other videos I will be fluent! #claimingit

Wow that is chevere!!! You have such a great opportunity so use it to the best of your abilities. Thanks so much for watching my content. I have few more "advice" videos coming up this week. Stay tuned and God bless.

[@cdev-kz3lj]

Its been 9 months, you fluent yet?

[@medleyedition1866]

Awesome thanks. What helped me learn Spanish is number one is learning the alphebet because once you can hear each word and know how to pronounce it, it becomes easier to read, hear, and talk.

I have long term goals with my Spanish learning. The short term goals are the ones I have trouble setting b/c there is so much to learn. Do you have any ideas for breaking down the long term goals to say weekly or monthly ones?

I sure do have a tip that coul help you. I actually mentioned them in the video. If you find a syllabus onlline, some of them will have day to day plans. find one of those and follow it. Otherwise. the best way would be to follow the work book. If you don't have a grammar workbook, I highly recommend getting one. If you do get one, make sure to get one that has listening activities.

Great video! Thanks for the tips. I am definitely having trouble learning Spanish. I took it in high school and I know some basics. My barrier is the verb tenses and memorizing them. And actually going past saying the basic sentences in spanish like quiero aprender español or me gusta bailar.... lol, it's sometimes feels redundant. I understand Spanish more than I can speak which doesn't help when you want to have full conversations. I forget and get nervous. What is the best advice to help with these barriers? Vocabulary and going pass basic sentences.

YOu really just have to study something, and after you study it, apply it as much as you can. The only way to really get better is to converse with others. Make it a daily thing. It's a "use it or lose it situation"
