Learn Spanish - Speaking
Moving on to the Rocket Spanish Mini Course Part 3 -
Greetings again, but this time a full 25 minutes of audio going into depth on how to greet people in Spanish, how to respond to greetings, and how to explain either that you either don't speak Spanish, you do speak Spanish, or you speak only a little Spanish.
A lot of repetition, but it drives the necessary vocabulary home. This is actually quite necessary. I don't know about you, but whenever I've been trying out a new language in another country - and this certainly happened to me when I first moved to France - one of the biggest problems is always getting the brain to work quick enough and co-ordinate with the mout to be able to respond to someone sufficiently quickly and intelligibly - even with the simplest of phrases. That's because it's still not coming out naturally.
And it needs to be (almost) instinctively, without thinking. So I think that this is the right approach to learning Spanish - get those basic, fundamental, essential phrases firmly engrained in the brain so that they appear at the right times without having to think to hard and seeming to be lost for words.
So here we go again:-
¿Cómo te llamas? (what's your name?)
¿De dónde eres? (where do you come from?)
Soy de los Estados Unidos (I'm from the United States)
Repetitive - yes. But not boring. These guys seem to be able to put it all together - even the simplest stuff in an interesting and practical way. Take a look yourself. It's free to sign up for this mini Spanish course. Here's the web address again: Rocket Spanish
Until next time. Let's go learn Spanish !
