Learn To Speak Spanish Quickly

Spanish culture in America

I had a friend that was getting relocated for his job and just his luck he was getting relocated to another country and it happened to be a Spanish speaking country and he does not speak a word of Spanish, so he marched into the local bookstore and announced "I want to learn basic Spanish words." 

Of course he will need to learn a lot more than basic Spanish names but for his initial trip over there his announcement of " I want to learn basic Spanish words" indicated that he knew he had quite a climb ahead of him.Providing the right tools to learn Spanish is required in order to speak to Spanish people in a Spanish speaking nation.If you make a commitment and stick to learning Spanish, then you will be on the right path and get to where you want to be.

Basic words in any language are probably best used in basic phrases.  When you say I want to learn basic Spanish words then you are saying that you want to learn things like "hello," "thank you," "please," and "I have no idea."  But being able to form those basic words into basic phrases is very important to effective communication and when say I want to learn basic Spanish words then you need to take the time to not only learn the words but also learn how they interact with each other when forming a sentence.

Lucky For You

Spanish is often said to be one of the easiest languages to learn because the structure of the language is so basic and fits together so well.  If English is your native language then you are more apt to be able to learn Spanish at a basic level quickly because the word for word learning curve for Spanish culture in America is usually one to one.Other languages have some words to compliment one English word, whereas there's a direct translation from English to Spanish for many words.English speaking people are less confused when learning Spanish.

My friend learned his basic Spanish and then took the new job overseas.  He is pretty happy after a couple of years but I am noticing that his English is getting worse.  I guess that is life.
