I am interested in the Spanish language. How do I learn to speak, write and read starting this summer?

Question

I speak two other languages but it is my deepest desire to speak and understand Spanish. I want to learn on my own but should I take some classes, which are somewhat expensive. I would really like some ways that people learn a language.

Answer 1

personally, i wouldn't bother. you can learn it on any street corner in the u.s. but, the rosetta stone program is supposed to be very good

Answer 2

I bought the same software as used for my classes

My college uses a software called TeLL me More, by Auralog. It covers not only the basics, but also intermediate or advanced level. It is also a lot less repetitive. My goal was to become fluent so it was perfect for me. It has a lot of different activities: picture/word association, videos, dialogues,..., includes also grammar and conjugation. It has also more content than any other language software. Their speech recognition is great so you can have a dialogue with the computer. You can check out their website at http://www.auralog.com for a free demo and compare too. You can check out independent reviews on the web too http://www.toptenreviews.com or about.com websites.

The best way to learn a language would be through immersion, visiting these countries. Learning a language will require some time. In addition to software, you can have books which are useful as well. Audio CDs like Pimsleur for instance might help you out but you cannot get any feedback on your pronunciation so I did not like it so much

Answer 3

Make some friends that speak Spanish. Immerse yourself in the language by reading books, listening to music, and watching t.v. in Spanish. Good luck.
