it's just like anything else. It's time consuming but anyone can learn. Do it, then you'll understand the names you might be called by illegals or anyone else.

I used to think that about myself. As a matter of fact, I tried learning Spanish in High School when I was 16. I failed first-year Spanish. I thought I was not capable of learning a foreign language until I was about 40, and my oldest daughter began taking Spanish in High School. At that time I realized that I still remembered quite a bit of Spanish, even though I failed the course, and there were 24 years between the two events.\n\nI tried an experiment. I began teaching myself Esperanto (I had heard it was the easiest language on earth to learn). I'm now fluent in Esperanto, and have gone back and studied Spanish and German to the point of being, more-or-less conversational.\n\nAnyone can learn a foreign language, some just learn faster than others. Different methods work with different people. You may be someone who can only learn through immersion. Keep looking at different course methods. Go to your local public library and try out different types of courses. You may find one that works for you.\n\nIf you want to give it another try, give Esperanto a try.  Esperanto was far easier to learn than any of the other languages I've studied, and it opened the world to me. I've had conversations with people from every continent, and every country, and I only had to learn the easiest language on earth to do so.\n\nYou might ask, why is Esperanto easier to learn than any of the other languages? It's because it is a language designed to be simple to learn. Most of the time spent studying a foreign language is spent learning the irregularities and rule exceptions ("I before E except after C", " 'sheep' is both singular and plural", etc). Esperanto has only 16 gramatical rules, and no exceptions to any of the rules.\n\nAnd before you ask, yes you can travel with Esperanto. Read this article in Wikipedia about the Esperanto "Pasporta Servo" (Pasport Service)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasporta_Servo

This may sound harsh but if you speak spanish I would suggest you learn English or go to a spanish speaking country like Mexico. This is America and the laungage here is English.

Total immersion is the best way....have you considered stuy abroad or an exchange student program?\n\nRosetta Stone\nDo you live somewhere were there are a lot of spanish-speaking people? Ask one of them to help you, and maybe you can help them with English.

Nothing is impossible to learn if you are committed to it.  Search out people who speak the language, explain to them what you are learning and why...most of them will gladly help you.

It sounds like you are.  Good for you; it's a hard language to learn.

I used to think that Hispanic people were stupid because they couldn't speak English the way that I did. Now as an adult, trying to learn Spanish, I had no idea just how SMART they were: in a new country, learning a new culture and a new language. English is almost the hardest language to learn since it has words from almost every other language. Ignore negative people. Some people have to put other down to raise themselves up.

Yes, if you speak fluent English. It's even easier if you're also fluent in French.

I never thought so. That's why I learned Spanish. Ahora, el español es una lengua del amor!

Quiero hablar espanol, pero no me gusta estudiar.\nI took Spanish as a college course, but haven't used it much and need to learn it all over again, but I'm too lazy to study and practice.\n\nI would also like to relearn French, which I once was fairly fluent in.\nSame problem.\n\nI've had low thyroid and that really interferes with studying.\nAnd, I'm now getting older, which doesn't help.

Learning a new language is a fairly difficult task in it's own right. But it is essential for a lot of people, especially those who immigrate to a country where the language is not their own.  \n\nI find it admirable that you have taken the time to slowly develop your spanish to be able to communicate better with your fellow workmates. Good on you!\n\nBut try to look at it like this; Learn the language for yourself, not for others or for gratitude. I'm sure they appreciate you in their own way, even if say nothing.\n\nbest of luck

The same way you talk in English, only if you were spanish then it would be easier.

I moved to Barcelona last year knowing very little Spanish or Catalan. (I'm 20.) It really helped that I started a language course straight away - see if you can find a good language course to take, one that emphasizes using the language actively. There's no other way to learn really. Practice lots, I'm sure your husband and his family and friends, and everyone else around, will be more than happy to help! They're just happy to see we're trying to learn and most people are very helpful. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, the language isn't that hard really, you just need to get started practicing and using the language in every way you can possibly think of. You'll be fine!

Spanish is easier than French or English.

o boy good luck its one of the hardest languages in the world, i guess its because it has 4 sound for each character and you have to remember every character by memory unlike english where u can try to spell a word you never saw before. i went to school in china untill i was 9 and i remember we would write 100-1000 pages of character every day for homework
