I am Hispanic and I am embarrassed to say that I am not fluent in Español. I’m not giving up. You are amazing and I appreciate your advise and help.

When foreigners say they learn English from movies and tv. Believe it!!! I learned Spanish in like 2 years. Read and write it too!! I got a book, learned the pronunciations, learned sentences, learned damn near every word in the dictionary in Spanish, and my favorite, watched movies with subtitles in Spanish!!!! THAT took me to a new level because I could see HOW it was spoken!!! Then I just practiced on people.... then WALAH!!! Yo habla espanol muy facil...!! Es nada!!

Just because you had help, doesn’t mean you’re not self taught.
You did that. 🌕🌞

I am Mexican and after living here in the states for many years I can say that I speak English It took me so long but I am so happy now being bilingual ! So don’t give up, we got this

Thank you for the tips! My wife is from Colombia and I started learning through intense self study probably 2 years ago. What I have found is that learning a language to the level of "fluency" comes down to IMMERSION. You can do this by living abroad or by finding ways to surround yourself with the language 24/7 for at least 3-6 months. All the school classes and language apps in the world will never get you there until you really begin to use the language daily. The language learning industry feels like the fitness industry to me in that everyone is selling a shortcut but the ONLY real way to lose weight is through diet and exercise.

I am Mexican and after living here in the states for many years I can say that I speak English 😅 It took me so long but I am so happy now being bilingual 😊! So don’t give up, we got this ❤

As a fluent non-native speaker of Spanish, this is the best advice on learning a language that I have seen yet. Just for context, I'm an American, in a relationship with a Spanish speaker from Venezuela, we speak only in Spanish (very comfortably). I've been speaking Spanish since 13 or 14 yo (to different proficiencies) and now am 36. The most important things she said is to speak EVERYDAY if only to yourself OUT LOUD and to find a (fluent) native speaker to speak to every day if you can for at least 20 min/day. One thing she didn't say that I will add is to pick one country to learn that version of the language if possible. It will help with fluency and comprehension. Other important things are listening to music and other interests in the language. As you can see, immersion is the key.

As a no sabo kid I really appreciate and admire the time you took to be fluent. I’m definitely going to push myself to reclaim my Spanish.

I had a 10/10 girl on me bro, but she was Hispanic and literally told me while we was hanging out that I was cute but she wanted someone who was into her culture and spoke spanish. I was devastated bro shit was tragic but now I’m here not necessarily because of her but because it seems you would build greater bonds with people in that culture which seems cool

Talking AND responding to yourself seems like a really great way to learn

[BluBlaBlueGoat]

This year I finally want to teach myself Spanish and this video truly motivates me! It’s hard being Mexican but not a Spanish speaker and always getting made fun of because of it :\ so I want to actually learn it!

listening to spanish music while reading and memorizing the lyrics and translations has taught me more in one year than I learned in 4 years of high school spanish class

[TheJesusNerd]

I can confirm the duolingo help. It has helped me immensely. I have also realized that reading children's book in the target language you want to learn is very helpful and gradually move up in reading level as you learn more and grow in fluency.

[courtneyde]

I have made it one of my lifetime goals to speak Spanish because being diverse can definitely take you far, along with getting to know people from a different culture/perspective is inspiring; building relationships/friendships; and increase in pay at jobs; etc. Kudos for you 🤗.

I have a biracial son, so now I’m interested in learning myself so he can learn and speak both languages (Spanish/English). His grandmother speaks to him in Spanish and I encourage her to do so now.

While in high school and college I chose Spanish as my second language. Being in America in a non-Spanish speaking neighborhood I lost a lot of what I learned. I am trying to regain what I lost. You are offering some solid advice 👌

[robertbustos]

I'm first generation Mexican-American, and I'm fortunate that my parents spoke Spanish to me as a child and refused to put me in bilingual classes as a kid. My dad would regularly have me read the Spanish newspaper. Now my Spanish is at near-native level, although I'm still improving. Watching Spanish novelas with English subtitles is a great way to supercharge your learning.

Hi, native spanish speaker here 🙋🏻‍♀️. Let me tell you that your pronunciation it’s on point, it amazes me. I’m actually on the other side, I’m trying to become fluent in english. I’ve been learning it my whole life but I never gave me the chance of practicing with a native speaker until recently that I applied for a remote job and had a job interview…was pretty awkward 😅 but I’m proud that I took the chance to experience something new and now that is my main motivation to keep improving. Thanks for all your recommendations!

I started using duolingo at 11 and I'm 19 now. I have finished both the spanish and Italian course and while I don't consider myself fluent, it has helped me so much. I'm able to read and write fluently and now I'm working on speaking in my classes at my university. I'm really hoping I'll be able to improve my conversational skills, since so many people in the U.S. are hispanohablantes!
