I wanted to upload a little vlog today to demonstrate my level of Spanish after ~4 months of studying during quarantine. Roughly 1 month was super intense, 6-7+ hours of studying per day. Apart from this I’ve been studying for about 1 hour per day, apart from weekends. My main method of studying has been one-on-one tutoring, essentially just LOTS of talking. Initially, I did do a bunch of essentially grammatical learning, but IN SPANISH and always paired with lots of discussion and examples.
You can check out my affiliate link here if you’re interested in using the program I did: http://baselang.com/xiaomanyc (More specifically I went through their Grammarless program.) But you also don’t have to learn Spanish through Baselang or any particular program or school — the idea is to massively expose yourself to basic conversations until you get better. It’s way easier to learn Spanish like this than to learn, say, Chinese, because with Spanish there’s so much stuff that as an English speaker you can already understand!
Learning Spanish through Stories?
The course I used initially to give me a good foundation in Spanish was called “Spanish Uncovered” by the polyglot Olly Richards, which is a way to learn Spanish naturally through stories. I really enjoyed it, and it seems to be an excellent way to get a good foundation in a new language. http://bit.ly/3pPB0we
