Learning a foreign always gives you an edge over others. Be it in hotel or tourism industry or in a corporate company where you are required to deal with foreign clients always keeps you a level ahead than your peers. Other than that, the feeling of knowing something more than what others know often boosts your morale and kicks up your self-esteem. Knowing a foreign language helps you in many ways. Be it going on a vacation to a country where the language is spoken that you have learnt or communicating with your clients in their mother tongue comes handy if you’ve indeed learnt one.

It seems that Spanish is the language that is widely spoken in many parts of the world and learning this language is really helpful if you work in a company where employees are flown frequently to Spanish speaking countries for business assignments. We would be sharing few tips on how one can learn this language quickly.

Listen to people speaking in Spanish:-  This is perhaps where you start learning a language. When we were kids, we learnt things by hearing them and not by reading. Reading came later on. Thus, it becomes imperative to buy some audios which teach you how to greet people in Spanish. Make sure the audios have a translator that translates the things spoken in Spanish to English. Once you learn how to greet people, you may move on to the next step and probably work on grammar. Make sure you’ve a strong base in grammar if you ever wish to learn/speak Spanish the way you speak English.

Don’t expect too much from yourself:-  You are a learner and you shouldn’t expect much from yourself or else that will lead to frustration and eventually you may completely give up learning Spanish. Inevitably, you make lots of mistakes during your learning phase but that shouldn’t deter you from learning the language. Remember while you were a kid, you made ample of mistakes but your parents gave you time and corrected you every time you made one. Thus the key is to correct yourself whenever you make a mistake and move on.

Speak in front of a mirror:-  This is the best exercise you can do once you have learnt a bit of it. Talk to yourself because if you make a mistake, there’s no one to laugh at you. You have the right to speak incorrectly and then rectify it. Once you find yourself doing good with the language, you can start communicating with your peers in Spanish and try to correct each other’s mistakes. This is perhaps the best way to learn a language.

Use of flashcards:-  You should make use of flashcards every now and then. You should perhaps have few of them in your pocket so that whenever you see yourself doing nothing, you can just pull out one and start going through them. Try to make flashcards that are small and can easily fit your pocket.
