Speaking Spanish for Beginners

Spanish is a very widely-spoken language. Learning Spanish may make it easier for you to obtain a career as well as understand others when traveling abroad. Learning Spanish takes time and effort but can be very rewarding once you're speaking it fluently.

Things You'll Need

• Spanish/English dictionary
• Spanish guide (grammar)
• Spanish guide (conversing)
• Spanish speaking program (beginners)

Instructions

1. Purchase a Spanish/English dictionary and a book on speaking Spanish for beginners. You may also want to purchase a book focused on conversation in Spanish as well as a book about grammar and other language rules.

2. Enroll in a Spanish class in your school if at all possible. If you are out of school, look into free online Spanish programs such as Study Spanish. (See references.)

3. Practice on a daily basis, or at least 15 hours a week. Learn sentences as a whole as opposed to learning words separately. Repeat every statement you're learning at least three times before going on to the next.

4. Learn Spanish with a friend so you both can try to converse and correct each other's mistakes when speaking aloud.

5. Take your Spanish/English dictionary with you wherever you go. When looking at a billboard or reading a magazine, look up the Spanish translation to get a better grasp of common words.
