5 tips to make your Spanish learning process easier and more fun

Hi everyone!

Today I want to share with you some really simple, yet life-changing recommendations to go through your learning process in a more effective way. These are the pieces of advice that I always give my students:

-Change your devices’ (cellphone, tablet, computer) language to Spanish. Change your social networks’ configuration to Spanish, too (you’ll never make a mistake again regarding “Gustar”, for example, if you use Facebook in Spanish).

-Choose any song you really like and learn the lyrics by heart. If you can do this on a weekly basis, you’ll improve your memory and vocabulary much faster.

-Whether travelling or not, keep a personal log in Spanish.

-Watch any serie, sitcom or movie with Spanish subs, and pay attention to them, especially when some expression that you don’t know how to translate comes up.

-Read a short article a day in Spanish. Internet makes it really easy for you to find any kind of article, even from Wikipedia or Yahoo News, of any topic of your interest. Try to understand the whole context, at first, and then search for the vocabulary that you might be missing.

This way, you are covering up different competences: writing, reading comprehension, vocabulary and listening, and it won’t even feel like studying. It’s a great idea to complement your classes.

Also, please visit my online resources list for dictionaries, dialect and slang, reading material, etc.

Hope it helps!
