If you're having trouble learning Spanish, you're not alone. Learning a second language is hard.

The KEY--find the right program. Find a program that immerses you in the language.

My favorite program, the one that I use, is Rocket Spanish. It has audio, games, flashcards, an interactive text, and so much more. It immerses you in the language and you can start speaking real Spanish phrases FAST.

I downloaded the audio portion to cd's and play it on my commute in and out of the city--and when I get home each day I share my new Spanish phrases with my family.

If you want help finding the right program or want to learn more about Rocket Spanish, check out my article at www.squidoo.com/learnspanishtoday

These days you can learn how to speak Spanish over the internet. Check out this online course, it's voted as the best Spanish online course of all time: http://www.rocketlearner.com/spanish The course is very easy to follow, I was able to learn Spanish in just 3 months.

I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a Spanish language teacher but that would have cost me over $800 per month. Good thing with this internet, $800 it's a lot of money for me.

Here in Santa Barbara, there are Adult classes in Spanish. Also City College has classes. There are a bunch of places on-line that have all kinds of vocabulary and teaching aids. You can buy CD's that you can learn from, also.

Talk to Spanish speaking friends. One of my most used phrases is "¿Que puede enseñarme hoy? or "What can you teach me today?"

Practice, practice, practice!

Watch Spanish TV and movies with subtitles.

Here's a couple websites. Also there are Yahoo groups that have people who will help and practice with you.

Finally, live in a Spanish speaking country. It's called IMMERSION. When you have to speak it, you do.
