Speak Spanish
Now you may be asking yourself, don’t I need to learn Spanish before I can start speaking Spanish?
To be honest, the answer to this question is a little bit of Yes and no.
Yes, in that you need to know / learn some Spanish before you can start speaking but no, in that you need to know Spanish fluently before you start.
I know that you are probably thinking, who is going to wait until they are fluent before they start speaking but you would be surprised. A lot of people usually don’t start doing something new in public or private until they are really good or decent and that can be a while. They want to e as close to perfect as possible so they put off putting into use what they learn which in the end delays there success of achievement that much longer.
Speak Spanish
The best thing you can do when first starting out, is learn a few words or numbers that you can use in your daily conversation and then start using them. That way you will not only reinforce what you are learning by repeating what you know over and over again, but you are also building your confidence which in turn will allow you to speak more words in Spanish.
It’s a viscous cycle I know, but hey at least it’s a good one. This cycle will allow you to achieve your goal of learning Spanish much more quickly than just reading and learning.
When it comes to learning Spanish you have to move past just being book smart and moving towards being street smart and using every lit bit you learn as fast you can.
The sooner you start speaking Spanish or Spanglish (even if it’s terrible), the quicker you will start learning Spanish.
