If you have the desire to learn how to speak Spanish fast but are concerned that maybe you don't have the skills or aptitude to be successful then rest assured. Anyone can learn a new language regardless of age, experience and even aptitude.

There are quite a few skills you have to master to learn a new language. Off the bat, you need to know vocabulary, reading, writing, grammar, comprehension and pronunciation. However, it is important not to put pressure ion yourself.

If you think about learning your native language, it probably took you about one to three years to start speaking. After that, you learn more about this language as you go through school and you are probably learning new things about it to this day. Certainly, you probably come across a new word or turn of phrase every once in a while.

So don't get too down on yourself if you can't speak Spanish in 3 months. Don't get too mad if you have a limited vocabulary after six months. It does take some time, but if you stick at it you will get there. With this said, here are some resources that can help you learn to speak Spanish fast.

The Internet

The Internet is a great opportunity to get exposed to native speaking Spanish speakers. This can be done in many ways. You can watch youtube videos in Spanish (comprehension, pronunciation). You can read Spanish websites (read). You can take part in Spanish language forums (write). There are many online course that can teach you the basics of the language and grammar. You can even have one to one lessons over the internet, using a free voip service like Skype.

Watching Spanish TV or DVD's is another way to learn to speak Spanish fast. With DVD's you can add subtitles or take them away. You can even watch the DVD in English and have Spanish subtitles if you want to practice reading and see how the grammar works. Doing this is a fairly painless way to learn the language because you can get into the movie and forget that you are actually learning at the same time.

Listening to music can also improve you language skills, in particular comprehension and pronunciation. Make sure you get good songs where the words are pronounced clearly. Avoid trendy music that may have slang or sing very fast.

Courses

Doing a language class gives you the opportunity to speak to someone face to face and get personal tuition. You can gain plenty of confidence using this method because you are used to speaking aloud. This is often half the battle when learning a new language. If you have no fear of talking aloud, you will talk to Spanish speaking people and your skills will improve at a rapid rate.

All of these tips will be helpful if you are trying to learn not only the Spanish language but any new language, and will make sure that you are successful at it. Most importantly of all, stay positive and know that you can do this, no matter who you are.
