How to Learn Spanish by Getting the Most Out of Classes

Learn Spanish Language Secrets
You can learn Spanish to a certain degree and still have trouble with certain words and
sentence constructions. It seems that you are saying them right, but you notice that Spanish
                              speakers say them differently. If you learn Spanish language
                              secrets, you will understand the subjects better.

                              One thing to remember is that you don't always have to use
                              the pronoun. If you say "yo," meaning "I," each time you
                              could, you will sound strident. This is because using the
                              pronoun is only necessary when you are emphasizing it. If
                              you are constantly emphasizing it, you will sound foolish.
                              Learn Spanish rules like this and you will sound more like a
                              native speaker.

                              You can learn Spanish word order in its basic form quite
                              easily. It is usually like English except adjectives tend to go
after the noun they describe. However, if you spend the time to learn Spanish word order
by listening to Spanish speaking people, you will find differences. Meaning can have
subtle variations when you change the word order.

There is another secret people can come across when they learn Spanish. There are many
Spanish words that look very nearly like English words that you know. Sometimes, they
can be considered direct translations.

However, some words only look similar. They actually mean something quite different.
Pay attention to the exact translations of words, as you learn Spanish. Using some of these
words incorrectly can cause you embarrassment, or can even insult someone.

An interesting secret when you learn Spanish is that common phrases, or idioms, don't
always translate word for word. If you try to translate an idiom word for word, you might
get the meaning, or at least an approximation of it.

However, there are many idioms that would seem to mean one thing that mean something
else when translated as a whole. The only way to learn this is by experience, or to get a
book of idioms. You must remember, though, that there are different idioms in different
Spanish speaking countries.

Learn Spanish from textbooks if you like, but when you are put into the culture, don't rely
on them. This is another secret to know when you learn Spanish. Many people don't speak
like the textbooks are written.

That's ok; English speakers don't either, if you think about it. If you try to learn Spanish
better in this informal way, you will likely make mistakes that the book has not prepared
you for. Don't worry; you can pick up the language from the conversation if you're alert.

Another secret is that pronunciation is important. The way you pronounce your "b's" and
"v's" will mark you as a person who does or doesn't consider it necessary to learn Spanish
well. If you don't roll your "r's" properly, you will sound like a toddler to the Spanish
speaking person. All these little things can set you apart or help you fit in.

Learn Spanish with all the nuances and you will not be looked at as an outsider. Taking a
few steps to improve your Spanish will be worth it in the long run.
