Simply the BEST way to learn Spanish!

All you really need to learn Spanish is to see, hear and practice speaking it. You literally 'speak to learn' Spanish, not learn to speak Spanish. It's a physical process, not a mental one. And you need to hear words and expressions as spoken by native speakers.

Learn Spanish word by word.
The first word you need to learn in Spanish is simply:
Hola.   (Hi. / Hello.)
And note that the 'h' at the beginning of a word is always silent.
Hola.   (Hi. / Hello.)
hoy   (today)
hay   (there is/are)
(Click on words to hear them and try saying them along with the audio.)

The word hasta means until, so ¡Hasta luego! means 'until then' or 'see you later'.

And note again that the 'h' at the beginning of a word is silent.
Hola.   (Hi. / Hello.)
hoy   (today)
hay   (there is/are)
hasta   (until)
luego   (then)
Luego ...   (Then ...)
Y luego ...   (And then ...)

The other words introduced so far are:
qué   (what)
tal   (such)
bien   (good/fine)
y   (and)
tú   (yu)
¡Qué bien!   (That's great! / How nice! / Wonderful!)

Note: Don't focus on the translations of words. Simply get comfortable understanding them and using them within the context of a situation.

Are you serious about learning Spanish?
You should be!! It's really not difficult to learn if you have a good program and you'll get so much enjoyment using it while you're in Spanish speaking countries.

And a good program has to help you avoid potential pitfalls, right away. For example, most people know the word, adiós (good-bye), but it comes from the words 'a Diós' (to God), so it's only used when you're likely to never see someone again. In the old movies, it was likely the gunslinger who said "Adiós amigo." (Farewell friend.) just before he shoots him dead. The most common expression is ¡Hasta luego! which means 'until then' or 'see you later'. And it will often sound like ¡'ta lue'o!

A good program also builds steadily on what has been introduced while providing a lot of review to stregthen the neural links. Most people know the words amigo (friend) and amigos (friends), but they may not know that when talking about a female friend, you say amiga and amigas. So, 'a friend' is un amigo or una amiga.

What's the best way to learn Spanish?
Honestly, I've yet to find a program that I really like, so we're making our own. If you find a program that takes you step-by-step (without missing any steps!), please let me know and I'll use it too. In the meantime, I'll continue with this project.

If you're an absolute beginner, keep reading. If you already know some Spanish, go to beginner, pre-intermediate or intermediate.

When you start learning a language, or anything for that matter, it's vitally important that you learn properly from the beginning! Bad habits are VERY hard to fix later. To ensure your success, the best way to learn is simply:
LISTEN, READ and SPEAK.

Our program is ideal for self-learning as you can listen to the dialogues and practice speaking along using the audio control feature.

If you'd like to try our program to help you learn Spanish, it's very simple. For just $10 per month, you get access to everything you need to learn Spanish.

How much Spanish have you just learned?
Don't feel bad if you didn't know any of the previous translations. The fact is, we often forget seconds after we've been told something. Thus, 'spaced repetition' has to be designed into a good program, so you hear things again and again and again.

You need to see (and hear) everything repeatedly and from 'different angles' in order for you to completely learn it. Repeating something 5 times in a row will NOT help you remember it, although it will help you with your pronuciation IF you physically say it out loud after hearing it AND you pay attention to how you sound compared to the native speaker.

To remember a new word, you need a bit of time to 'begin to forget' and then hear (and see) it again. Then your brain will go 'Oh yeah!' and the new neural connection gets strengthened. This has to be repeated about 5-7 times with an increasing time period or 'space' between repeating and then you will have learned it. It's a simple, physical reality of how the brain works.

If a language learning program is specifically designed with this in mind, then you literally learn effortlessly and automatically.

Let's try another exercise and don't worry if you don't remember the meaning of any of them.   (click to view translation)
