Yeah Anki, a spaced repetition system for creating your own customized flashcards, has been a big help on my journey as well: https://apps.ankiweb.net/ I also recommend Gabriel's Weiner's book Fluent Forever which is about using Anki as well as his larger language learning strategy. https://www.amazon.com/Fluent-Forever-Learn-Language-Forget-ebook/dp/B00IBZ405W/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2H7DI90OYRHIL&dchild=1&keywords=fluent+forever+by+gabriel+wyner&qid=1615076327&sprefix=Fluent+Forever%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-1 |

Hi all, Here is another great (free) resource - Dr Danny Evans - The Language Tutor. Here is the website: http://thelanguagetutor.co/ He also has a YouTube channel by the same name. Short (8-20 min) sections with various subjects. He is the best Spanish teacher I have seen and he’s a gringo. Hope it helps. Saludos - Woozo |

I'm a gringo who grew up in Miami and Hialeah, I was forced to learn Spanish for survival purposes  If any one wants to learn Spanish . I suggest going and living in Hialeah( Cuban and Venezuelan ) or Sweetwater (Nicaragua) for couple of months Some of the Latin's have been here for 40-50 years and still don't speak English. But , be warned ahead of time if you spend time in Miami and the surrounding communities it's the Cuban dialect, which is somewhat different from other Spanish dialects .My Spanish dialect is Cuban slang, Ticos and Ticas understand me without a problem, but I've been asked many times if I was Cuban.

And if that doesn't fit your situation please don't take offense. But there is no easy way to learn a new language - no magic bullet. There probably are some ways of doing it a bit more quickly...but overall the end results seem to be similar. That is that it takes time and a lot of work. Time being exposure and use of the language at whatever level you are at, and time to learn words and grammar, all of which needs repetition. I have used various things...I've done around 25 weeks of immersion Spanish in full time classes. In retrospect I think a week of school, followed by 4 weeks of immersion in a Spanish environment, might have been as good or better. I ended up repeating the same material several times as I would be gone for 6 months, then back for 4 or 5 weeks at school. But eventually it stuck. As far as online stuff I use duolingo. It works for me perhaps better than it might for someone without the background of classroom immersion Spanish. It makes you practice patterns of the language...basically the grammar, but with about the right amount of repetition for me. I've been at it for 10 years, and like I said I've done the equivalent of 6 months of classroom work. A younger, more language friendly person might certainly be fluent before that. But I have learned and although I don't consider myself fluent I can get along fine. Anyway...not to discourage anyone, but don't be surprised that any approach can seem slow. And everyone has a different way of learning...some learn to speak it before they understand what they are hearing. I'm the opposite. I could understand a lot before I could really formulate anything spoken. And now it has evened out...I understand most of what I hear (as long as it's not street spanish), and I can say what I need to say in a few different ways. But I don't consider myself fluent. Hence continuing to work with Duolingo, etc. |

Zoos you are quite right. You cannot learn Spanish by simply parroting phrases like most online courses try to teach. I too find Duolingo good, and their book section to listen to simple Spanish conversation. I find the grammar is not taught so well and have found a good site for grammar to be: https://studyspanish.com/ |

Has anyone tried using any of the electronic handheld translators? My Spanish is so-so, and I am thinking that one of these might help me improve my Spanish as well as serve as a translator for conversations. I've been looking at reviews of them on YouTube, but it's difficult to tell which ones are truly the best (and which ones are just getting publicity through advertising dollars). |

I disagree that the youtube videos do not help so much.. I found that I can string sentences and make myself understood after going through them a few times |

I was looking at the review videos rather than the instructional ones for the electronic translator devices. I am trying to figure out which brand/model I should consider buying. There are literally dozens of them.
