This is a somewhat lengthy blog post I found via Facebook on how to learn any language…. I am starting to go through the steps and links but it seems to make a lot of sense…. now check back in 3 months to see if it helps me with my spanish.

BTW one of the decisions I made recently is to cut down on my teaching ( English) time, to concentrate on my learning ( spanish) time.
I have been taking the easy ( for me) way out though…learning the written parts first. Â From the above blog post, it seems that I should concentrate on speaking and listening. Â This is harder because I have to interact with people…and make mistakes.
