Why is spanish so freakin hard to learn!?!?!? =]?

Answer 1

I wish I knew. Trust me it's a lot easier when you learn it in your own language. When I got to high school my foreign language was German. Now I am in Germany as a foreign exchange student and I have to take Spanish here. Not to mention I started school here a month later which put me behind spanish basics.

Well I suggest google and type learn Spanish and see what you find it has helped me out a whole lot. And def. study the vocab words that they give you, or else it can only get harder. As stupid as those articles(la, un, el...etc) are they will help..

Answer 2

Get your head around the conjugation of the verbs and the rest will come. Once you've learned the rules at least for the more commonly used tenses, it's not so bad. There are some irregular verbs but they are mostly ones you'll use fairly regularly so you'll get to remember them.

Any word in English ending in "ible" or "able" is probably going to be the same as with "tion" except over here it's spelt "cion" there are about 3 exception to that but mostly it applies.

If you can get hold of Michel Tomas Language CDs they are tremedously helpful and easy to follow.

If none of that works you need to try the method my daughter used. A boyfriend who didn't speak any English. She went from barely speaking a word to being more or less fluent in the space of............well 1 afternoon as far as I could tell. I've suggested to my husband I could try the same thing but for some reason he's not keen.

Answer 3

It's not. It's easier than English because the sounds of the letters never change. Not only do our consonants change sound but so do our vowels. It's much harder for a Spanish-speaker to learn English because there are so many "rules" and "exceptions."

Once you learn the Spanish alphabet (which is very similar to ours) and how to pronounce each letter you can pretty much sit down and sound out any word you read and you will be saying it correctly. Not so with English.

The hardest part is conjugating verbs. I'm still working on that one myself. But let me say this....if I can learn it....anybody can!

Listen to Spanish radio stations. Watch Spanish TV shows. Immerse yourself as much as you can into it here. That's the BEST way!

Answer 4

Okay, I never took Spanish, but I have taken German and French, and German was a lot easier to learn than French. I watched a video a while ago, explaining why that may be:

English is derivative of German. A lot of the grammar and pronunciation rules that apply in English, apply in German as well.

As for Spanish, Spanish, like French, is derivative of Latin. A whole new set of rules when it comes to grammar and the like. So as hard as it is to do this, for your Spanish classes, forget all that proper grammar and pronunciation things you took years to learn in English. Go in with an empty slate.

And yes, Mandarin and Russian are probably harder, but I can see why you would think Spanish is hard. After all, French was a lot harder for me to learn than German was.

Answer 6

You think Spanish is hard??????? Try Russian. It's alot harder. Spanish is considered as one of the easiest languages in the world. I know because I learned Russian English, Ukranian, Spanish and Portugees.

Answer 7

I don't think Spanish is the only hard language to learn. To me some languages are harder to learn is because of the "logics" in the these languages. People think differently, and therefore speak differently. Languages reflect how we approach things, so it's harder to learn certain languages when we do NOT understand how people speaking these languages approach things. I hope this answers your question.

Answer 8

You may be having problems with the way it is taught. Try to find a tutor to help explain things in a different way. You could also try getting an audio mail-order course. Berlitz is considered a top choice. http://www.berlitz.us/

Also, realize that it is easier to learn languages at a young age. For some people it becomes nearly impossible to learn when they get older

Answer 10

spanish is actually a difficult language. there are many nuances about it that speakers of english are not used to and have trouble comprehending. for someone to say it is easy and that you need to get a tutor i think is completely unfair. myabe they are just good with languages. don't worry, i have a flair for languages and even the so-called easy spanish language is difficult for me.
