subject: Is It Possible To Learn Spanish Quickly? [print this page] Here's a frequently asked question - "Is it possible to learn Spanish quickly?" Believe it or not, the only person that can answer that question is you!
Let me explain - only you know what your goals are in learning the Spanish language. If your idea of a Spanish language course is sitting in a classroom with a stack of books full of definitions and exercises then the answer is, "A long time".
Now don't get me wrong - classroom based Spanish courses have their place. If you plan to be a Spanish teacher instructing students on both the spoken and written aspects of the language, then you definitely need to take the effort and time to learn the nitty-gritty.
On the other hand, if you goal is to further your business or work, to be able to communicate better with recently added Spanish-speaking members of your family (new spouse, in-laws, stepchildren, your son's new bride, etc), or to simply better yourself as a person, then it is possible to learn Spanish quickly with a reasonable amount of success - in weeks or months, not years.
How is this possible? You must choose the type of Spanish language course that fits you and is tailored to your needs. You must learn the questions to ask to help you learn Spanish fast.
