    Here's some tips I used to learn Brazilian Portuguese
    -Mango Languages app
    -I wrote any sentence, on index cards, I could think of that would be useful in Portuguese and read out loud everything I wrote
    -Words that I didn't quite understand, i wrote out on index cards the word and wrote several sentences using that word in the past present and future form and read out everything out loud
    -I have index cards pinned and labeled to several items in my apartment(ex:door, and I wrote several sentences with the word door) and read everything out loud
    -And once I became more conversational, I started narrating my life in Brazilian Portuguese
    -What ends up happening by writing down your language, you're actually learning way more than they realize..you're learning to write, by writing down these sentences, you're learning several words at one time, you're learning verbs in different tenses and speaking out the sentences.
    And Tandem is a really good app to put you in communication with natives

    I am a professor of Spanish and shared this with my students. Thanks so much for this great video. I am fluent in the language and lived in Spain for many years and did my graduate studies in Spanish. I shared this with my students because when I started learning Spanish (at age 11), I remember that I implemented a lot of these strategies (back when there was no internet too). I agree with you that now there is no reason why people need to go to another country to immerse themselves. The United States has the second largest Spanish speaking population in the world. :)

Hasta que tenia como 40 años solo sabía unas palabras en español. Conocí a una dominicana y quería que comunicarse con ella pero lo sabía que para ella sería muy difícil aprender el inglés. Entonces si a mi mismo que voy a aprender. Aprendí con un par de amigos que crecimos juntos. Miramos tv en español. Escuchamos todas música en español. Tuvimos libros, periódicos, revistas, videos. Todos en español y ahora si yo puedo hablar en español. Practicando desde 2003 y ahora casado con una boricua que no para de hablar me en español.

    I think it may be worth mentioning also that when watching TV in Spanish, if someone puts on the subtitles they too should be in Spanish.
    Watching something in Spanish with English subtitles is never going to be helpful to someone learning. But Spanish programmes with Spanish subtitles can rapidly increase the speed of learning if someone really puts in the effort

    I don’t know why it’s harder for me to learn Spanish than it is when I learned Korean 😭. It’s weird because Spanish should be easier for me since I speak Tagalog. My husband is Mexican and speaks fluent Spanish, along with his family. I recently got to meet a part of his family and a lot of them don’t speak English and I want to be able to speak with them or understand them, laugh with them and etc. After that, I’ve been feeling motivated to learn Spanish more. I’ve studied 2 years of Spanish in high school and then 1 semester class of Spanish in college but I forgot a lot tbh. Even English is lowkey complicated for me and that’s my first language ☠️ LOL Anyways, I can understand a bit, but I can’t speak very good, like I understand basic stuff. I just don’t know where to starttt... I also feel discouraged sometimes when I try to speak Spanish because I’m embarrassed I don’t sound good or sound stupid. I have social anxiety so it’s alotttt harder for me to not think that people aren’t making fun of me.

      Hi👋I'm a Spanish native speaker and I make a lot of mistakes everyday... Sometimes anxiety makes me think that even speaking my native language I'm not good enough 😂😂. Keep in check your thoughts related to anxiety!! How? Look for CBT it helps so much with our distorted automatic thoughts.
      If you start managing your anxiety slowly you will increase your confidence making mistakes and then start seeing them as necessary for learning and not a prove of failure.

      Sus W, hello there... well I have two iPhones, both are same model but different year, I bought one as brand new and the other was a used one. I mirrored the second one to the original and (after fixing very few details) ended up with to identical smartphones. Although I do this way for convenience (so I can use one while the other is charging and also when getting out I carry the used one) I think you can do the same but with one in Spanish and the other in English... or you might devote one to only Spanish (I mean everything) and the other to just English... anyway some Apps will be the same in both devices like Photos.

    What I did was watch telenovelas every day as a way to be around people speaking Spanish every day. I have a daycare in the home and can't go to the Spanish neighborhood. I know a lot of people think telenovelas are silly but you have to remember your reason for watching them; to learn the language and train your ear for the language. I have learned words that native speakers don't know because telenovelas are from different countries so there are words that one country uses and another doesn't. You can use your movie DVD's in Spanish but they don't usually use colloquialisms.

    I love English. Ever since I was 16 I started Googling every single thing in English, and honestly, I still do it to this day; youtube videos, research on the internet, etc.
    When it comes to shows or movies. The first time I watch them I do it for entertainment, then I watch them a second time for learning purposes without the hype. That way I can focus on learning instead of getting immersed in the show.
    Also, the way I learn something new that I don't understand is "context> definition/images> translation". It works like magic. That way I train myself to understand the context first, and sometimes I can make a pretty accurate guess of the meaning of something that I've never heard before. However, this works best depending on your level.
    I also recommend handwriting, not typing, HANDWRITING. Writing words and phrases helps our brain retain information. Your memory and skill in your target language will slowly deteriorate (just in little details) if you just "type" all the time. I know cause it has happened to me with English.

    I agree with everything Ricky said. I lived 2 years in Spain form 1983 - 85 and since then it's been an up hill battle to improve my Spanish. I've had several tutors the best right not is an hour a week with a Spanish tutor from Guatemala who charges just $9 an hour. I read and listen to Spanish all the time but I could be so much better. What I like about Ricky is he's not shy. A few of my favorite sites for listening to discussions about movies I like Fred film radio which has 24 hour discussion on movies in about 22 languages. I also like the Easy Language series on RUclips in Spanish which comes in so many languages. Usually a native speaker goes to the streets and asks other natives questions. The videos are short and you get different accents from different people talking, plus there are English and Spanish subtitles. Finally for anyone studying German I would recommend German with Anja, and for Italian I would recommend one World Italian with Veronica also on RUclips. Finally I can be contacted, look me up on Facebook. My name is Victor Brown a native English speaker born and raised in Flint, Michigan, also speaking French, Portuguese, and studying Italian and German. Best move I ever made was to grab a back pack in 1976 and fly to Amsterdam. That's when my love of languages and travel started. Had my 1st foreign language (French) class at age 25. It can be done. I've tried to follow a schedule of working on 2 languages every day of the week for years now. By that I mean at least reading and / or listening to them. I know I"ve been lucky to have lived in the countries whose languages I speak that's why I find Ricky all the more amazing and encouraging. Saw one of his videos this morning by accident and it's had me pumped all day. Power to all of you especially. Pues podría ententar escribir todo esto en español pero tengo que ir me . Imagine me in Europe standing around with Europeans speaking 2, 3,4... languages and me none. I knew right away I wanted to learn one so I started. Power to all of you.
    One tip I took from Ricky right away was after subbing I came home and switched my computer to French and now when I change language days I will change my computer language.

    I'm from New York City (born and raised; no longer living there, though) and you speak Spanish with a Caribbean accent; you definitely have the rhythm of those from the Spanish-speaking Carribbean. I can tell 'cause I grew up around a lot of PRs, and had close friends who were Cuban, and knew a few Dominicans. I do not speak Spanish, but I can tell the accents of those who speak it from different countries.
    Anyhoo, I'm commenting, because I've watched a few of your videos [today], and pretty much all of your advice in regard to learning Spanish can be applied to learning other languages, too.

If you have watched the spanish speaking videos, listened to podcasts, people speaking etc you will notice that the verb tenses are not what you are learning first on Duolingo. (Not knocking it because I use it everyday and has been helpful.) But what I have read about Madrigal’s makes sense. Will try to report in a few weeks once I get the book.
