Many Spanish learners, who can afford it, often travel to a Spanish-speaking country seeking the ultimate immersion experience and quick fluency. To be honest, I second this philosophy because being surrounded by only Spanish-speakers for an extended span of time is really a hell of an immersion strategy. There is, however, just one small drawback with this technique. The depth of immersion that comes with living in a Spanish-speaking society is...

Learning Spanish is a tad boring. But flirting is fun. So, when you have a chance to do so with them sizzling hot Latinas either in real-life or online, why not make it perfect with some real Spanish? Let’s face it, a touch of Spanish goes a long way in impressing those pretty native-speakers and surely helps your linguistic skills, greatly accelerating your learning. It is also a no-brainer that learning Spanish calls for a great deal of motivation...
Since Spanish vocabulary is the key ingredient of any Spanish learning endeavor, let’s take a moment to think of the words we were taught as kids during our very early vocabulary-building years. Chances are, other than the words for father and mother, it would be the names of our body-parts. Though not necessarily the most important aspect of our vocabulary, they eventually become indispensable to any language learning regimen....
It is every Spanish learner’s dream to be able to speak effortlessly like the natives. While not advisable for novice learners, it is fun and useful to understand some of the most common elements of Spanish colloquialism and be conversant in what is typically known as “street Spanish.” Colloquialism and slangs are what set those natives apart from even the most fluent foreign speakers. Why? Because the Spanish spoken in the streets and living rooms...
As is the case with any foreign language, the key to native-level Spanish is simple: Absolute immersion. Immerse yourself as deeply as possible. Build Spanish around you. Bit by bit. Word by word. Phrase by phrase. Until Spanish becomes a second nature to you; until you start thinking in Spanish. When I was new to this idea, I didn’t take it much seriously as it seemed way too easier said than done. But after a few months of experimenting with various...

Learning Spanish is easy. We would all have a common answer if asked how we learned our native language and that would almost unanimously be, “Just like that!” Nobody is born with skills of any kind, let alone linguistic abilities. And yet by the time we turn four, we are more than reasonably fluent in at least one language, our native tongue. All this at a time when we were yet to face the grammar-boogie at school! How come? The key is, we didn’t...
Spanish vocabulary is a pain in the neck, isn’t it? The Spanish for leather is el cuero and en cueros is, unsurprisingly, a Spanish slang term for naked. Cuero is also a Latin American adjective meaning gorgeous; so, effectively, es un cuero would mean, ‘she is a babe/stunner’ or ‘he is a hunk!’ Confused? Well, bear with me, for visualization is the tool for the laziest of learners the world has ever seen and it is this technique that we are going...

The concept is simple. Just pick a Spanish language word and imagine it as related to something familiar and then try to remember this visual key to the new word’s meaning. The visual association thus created has been empirically proven to stay in memory more permanently and more readily available for instant recall. If you are learning Spanish, or any language in the world, you will soon find that this trick is indispensable for...

Still wondering why Spanish after all? Here, we discuss some razones buenas (good reasons). However, before we even get into justifying all the pains of learning a foreign language, let alone getting fluent in it, let me assume that this post is redundant because the fact that you are on this blog already shows that you are loaded with at least one strong justification, if not more, to learn Spanish. If nothing else, it should be only safe to assume...
