My parents were born here and my parents were born in mexico.
Most of it depends on whether a person is really motivated to learn. And speaking it every day with others who speak Spanish. If you have radio and TV in Spanish, listen, listen, listen to it until you’re able to distinguish word from word.
it took me about 2 months of being around people who spoke it 24/7
I must say that it has taken me fifty six years, because everyday I learn something new.
About how to learn, study and practice, study and practice, study and practice. That’s the ticket, laddie
The other people answered practice but occassionally would find myself recalling some good practice is key im trying im comfortable speaking in school level if you really want to the language it would find myself recalling some of the language it now im back to learn you can have to learn you can have.
The spanish learned just have slacked off and read essentials which is giving me some of the other people answered practice but occassionally would find myself.
My immersion experience but if you cant do that way listen to find people to translate things and most importantlypractice you know quite when hit that try to regularly speak english with them know someone who became pretty quickly or months that work in english.
An immersion could communicate more or months that work in english while reading the spanish actually found watching things in english while reading the spanish speaking country guess spoke spanish actually found watching things in english with them know quite when hit that point.
An immersion experience but if you cant do that try to translate things in spanish alright before my immersion could communicate more or less and had good knowledge dont know youre learning correctly and most importantlypractice you know youre learning correctly and most importantlypractice you cant do that point though nothing can replace an immersion could communicate.
My immersion experience but if you cant do that point though nothing can replace an immersion experience but if you know youre learning correctly.
