Learning Spanish – My experience learning Spanish so far

I have been having learning Spanish in one-to-one lessons for a couple of years now. The biggest problem I have is that I don’t get much chance to actually practice speaking Spanish. This is rather sad when you consider that I live in a Spanish speaking place.

I have found the Synergy Spanish course very useful and often use it while I am walking the dogs – Synergy Spanish: Click Here for more details!

Although I don’t live in a predominately expat area I still don’t have any Spanish friends that I can practice speaking with. And speaking it is the key really. You can learn as much of the theory as you like but unless you can practice it doesn’t really help.

I can understand quite a bit of Spanish. If I listen to someone’s conversation, or the radio, then I can usually get the gist of it as you don’t need to know every word. But speaking Spanish is a different matter. You can’t just say a few words to be understood but need all the words to make sense.

My Spanish teacher is Sally who is based in Corralejo – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1425068397797916/ Sally now has a useful website – Spanish With Sally.
