subject: Do You Want To Know The Best Way To Learn Spanish? [print this page] If I had a dollar for every person that asked me how to learn Spanish or, more to the point, what is the best way to learn Spanish, I would be an extremely wealthy man right now, unfortunately for me though I don't so I guess I'd better give up on that one.
Many different people have different opinions on the best way to learn Spanish ranging from classroom courses and Spanish immersion courses to self teaching books and CD course programs.
In all fairness it all depends on an individual's situation; my personal opinion is that the best way to learn Spanish without a shadow of a doubt are Spanish immersion courses and classroom courses. The benefits of these specific types of learning are that they allow for intensive interaction, speaking the language constantly with Spanish speakers and fellow students.
Spanish immersion courses, are definitely the best way to learn Spanish as the student not only has the benefit of the classroom interaction but also benefits from the cultural exchanges as these courses very often take place in a Spanish speaking country.
The downside to learning Spanish in this way is that they are expensive and also require the student to devote a large amount of time to the course. This is especially true in the case of Spanish immersion courses where the student is required to be away from home for many weeks; hence the reason that this method is preferred by the younger student body, but I have to reiterate that this is definitely the best way to learn Spanish and achieves the best results on a regular and consistent basis.
However, not all of us can afford the luxury of immersion courses so we will look at the next best way to learn Spanish.
Without a shadow of doubt the fastest growing and most popular method utilized for the study of Spanish today is the interactive Spanish online course.
There are a lot of websites that offer you free tuition in the basics of Spanish but if you really want to get to a good level of Spanish and as quickly as possible, I would have to recommend that you buy a good Spanish language course that incorporates both listening and conversational exercises as this is definitely the best way to learn Spanish.
Regardless of whichever way you decide to learn Spanish you should always ensure that you put enough time aside for your studies and make sure that you practice whenever possible, watch Spanish speaking TV whenever you can and shop in Spanish speaking districts, doing so will help you reach a point where you will start to think in Spanish. You will then find your learning steps will become easier and quicker to take.
