Do you think Spanish is a complicated language to learn? In the following post we will give you the keys to make learning Spanish much easier.

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world after Mandarin Chinese. For almost 483 million people Spanish is their mother tongue.

Spanish is a complex language, rich in vocabulary and grammar, which makes it one of the most attractive options for foreigners. Although it takes effort to learn, its structure and familiarity make it accessible and rewarding for learners.

Is Spanish easy or difficult to learn?

When assessing whether Spanish is easy to learn, we should consider that Spanish has an interesting mix: in some aspects it can be easier than in others. For example, pronunciation tends to be easier for many, as words are almost always pronounced as they are spelled. It also has a fairly consistent grammatical structure. However, the number of tenses, conjugations and variety of expressions can be complex for new learners.

The Romance languages, which include Spanish, French, Italian and Romanian, share the root of many words and the same phonemes, which makes it very easy to learn because you already have similarities to your native language.

In short, it is an accessible language to start communicating quickly, but its full mastery may require more effort and dedication.

If you want to learn the language in depth, the best way is to sign up for immersive Spanish courses, speaking and getting to know its culture.

What is the most difficult thing about learning Spanish?

As with any language, grammar is one of the biggest challenges when learning Spanish. With its multiple tenses, modes and exceptions, Spanish can be challenging. Therefore, it is important to learn in courses that are adapted to the level and pace of each student.

Generally speaking, learning Spanish will be as difficult or easy as you are willing to put in the time and practice. In addition, if your mother tongue is one of the Romance languages (such as Italian, French or Portuguese), you will have a certain advantage in learning, as there are similarities in vocabulary and structure.

Tips to make learning Spanish a breeze!

Here are some tips to make learning Spanish easy.

First of all, the best thing to do is to immerse yourself in a Spanish speaking environment. If you are taking a Spanish course in Spain, don’t leave it just for the classroom: go out in the street and listen to the people around you talking in parks, bars and shops… 

Another way that can help you learn Spanish is to read and watch TV in Spanish.  It will help you learn and grow your vocabulary day by day.

Don’t try to translate all the time, look for other resources that are useful for learning, such as gestures or drawing… Adapt the language to your needs!

If you want to complement your learning with a course, choose the course that best suits your way of learning.

Finally, be patient and don’t be afraid of making mistakes. They are an essential part of the learning  process.
