Tips & Tricks


Although the contents of this website assume that you are either working under the guidance of your classroom instructor, or that you are reviewing, refreshing, and/or practicing things you have already learned, these are some nice tips to follow in order to improve your learning experience:

1- Organize your practice. Instead of practicing one day a week for a whole hour, it is much better to practice three times a week for 20 minutes. You will remember things easier and you will reinforce things better.

2- Use the context: when you are reading, there are images, text markers (bullets, bold face), textual elements (numbers, proper names), and other elements, that carry information. Learn to use those elements to derive meaning from the context, beyond just the words.

3- Identify your learning style: some people are visual learners and they prefer reading activities, others are aural learners and they prefer listening. Some prefer rules and diagrams, others prefer examples in context. Find what your style is, and what kind of activity you learn better with.

4- Expose yourself to the language: try to read as much as you can, and listen to as much Spanish as you can. Beyond the classroom, you can find Spanish websites, Spanish radios on the Internet, Spanish movies, and Spanish TV channels. Even though you may not understand everything they say, some sounds, some words, and the cadence and rhythm of the language will start to be familiar to you.

5- Above all, give yourself time, and persevere. Learning a language takes time, feeling confident with the language takes even longer. If you keep on doing your best, you will start seeing the results.

We hope this website helps you achive your language learning goals...
