There are, however, some segments of the population that remain passive and bypass the importance of learning to speak Spanish. And there are also those who continuously put off the desire to learn because of several reasons. Some say they don t have enough time. Some say it is costly. Others still think it is impractical. It is important to have enough conversational practice that will allow you to implement what you have learned. Online classes employ multi-media methods like audio and video presentations. They should be more interactive. They should be fun for you. Although, they are less expensive compared with face-to-face classes, it is still not practical to sign your name in the first class you see. Also very critical to fluency are numbers, alphabets, pronunciation, common expressions, do and don t commands, verb tenses, prepositions, conjugations, syntax, and the likes. 4.

However, this indefinite article is not needed in Spanish. Neither one is needed before CIERTO, which means a certain. Correct are QUIERO OTRO LIBRO (I want another book.) and QUIERO CIERTO LIBRO. (I want a certain book.) Be careful in using UN or UNA when referring to occupation. The articles A or AN are required in English but are not used in Spanish. Learning tools are available in various formats. Books were the only reliable learning tools before. But thanks to technological innovations, learning tools are now in digital formats to make learning interesting. Audio and video lessons, for instance, are preferred by many Spanish learners. Compared to a book, these learning tools are more interactive, which makes them especially helpful in mastering pronunciation, where you need to learn the exact sound and inflection of a given word. However, learning another language takes some real work however gifted you may be. This is especially true if you are past 13 or 14 years old. According to studies, these are the maximum ages when a person has no difficulties in learning another language. Through the years, people have accumulated some study techniques.
