How long did it take you to fluently speak Spanish? I’m willing to give this a shot because learning a new language is something that I want to do now that I’m approaching 40 years old. I want to take this seriously.
For me, the advanced tools are what's helped me, because I do have a family and I work a less than sociable job. But, I do make small talk with the people at work when I can or anywhere.
Really good tips! One tip I would add is to never stop writing by hand. It's been proven over and over that we memorize things better when we write them, but unfortunately typing things on a screen isn't as effective. I've always been the kind of person who learns through writing but for some reason I thought I'd give flash card apps a shot. I tried Quizlet and a few others and finally settled on Anki (which is pretty good, don't get me wrong). However after 1 year of learning I realized I was still not remembering a lot of the words and my vocabulary was stuck and not expanding. Two weeks ago I switched to good old index cards written by hand. I can say that 70% of the words that I couldn't remember two weeks ago are now locked in my memory. The results were amazing! So my point is: Apps are amazing but don't underestimate the power of handwriting in your learning journey. Good luck, everyone!
@@Irishyoutubewd9kk For apps either Anki or Quizlet are both equally effective. Quizlet is just "prettier" andhas more options , I guess. As for handwriting actual...any ol' notebook or actual flashcards will do. I make actual flashcards for when I'm feeling fancy but when I want to actually BLAZE words into my brain I just grab my messy practice notebook and just list the words away.
I stumbled upon using chat gpt voice and it has been a godsend for just plainly asking to explain a concept, give examples of similar words, explain the context terms are used, explain regional differences of a term, or formal/less formal ways of speaking. And just by simply talking to it and asking what I want to know. Yes there are caveats but it's like having a native speaker right beside me that I can turn to at anytime and ask EG What regions use the term coache vs carro?
Hey Nate I’ve been “studying”Spanish for a few years but in a very unorthodox way. I’ve only really watched interviews, RUclips videos,texted people, and talked occasionally So I’ve never formally studied grammar or anything of that nature I find it very difficult to learn that way but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to progress I feel stuck, I just don’t know what to do and maybe I’m over thinking but any advice would be helpful. I took a test and I found out I’m B1 or lower intermediate.
hey something that has really helped for me is listening to podcasts, i usually listen to a podcast in spanish everyday while i walk my dog, they often explain grammar in the episodes and you will be surprised how much you start to pick up, having this daily objective has helped me feel productive :) B1 is a awesome level and you can only go up from there! your going to great! :D

I believe "carro" is used more in Latin America than in Spain, although several Latin American countries do use "coche" interchangeably...

Gracias Roberto, por la gran chingada, lo hare.
I speak Spanish and need to learn English. If someone helps me with English, I can help them with Spanish. My English is basic; I'm just starting.
