Total Immersion!\n\nThe best way to learn a foreign language, as most people will tell you is to live in the country where the language is primarily spoken.\n\nIf that's not possible then you just need to be creative and find other ways to immerse yourself in the language. For example:\n\n - Get a subscription to a foreign news publication.\n\n - Use yahoo's foreign language search engines instead of the English ones. (e.g. http://www.yahoo.fr or http://www.yahoo.es)\n\n - Buy a pack of Post-It-Notes, write a foreign word on it and stick it to the object to which it refers (e.g. das fenster on the window)\n\n - Invade foreign chat rooms - if only to see how natives chat to each other, you can join in when you start to feel confident.\n\n - Listen to foreign radio stations. This is even easier now, with many radio stations broadcasting on the internet. (Check out http://www.radiotower.com/)\n\n - Watch DVD's in different languages (Lot's of your favourite DVD's will have the option to watch the movie dubbed in a variety languages.) I recommend watching 'Die Hard' in Spanish!\n\n - Watch foreign TV broadcasts. Again, this is readily available on the internet (Try http://wwitv.com/portal.htm)\n\nOf couse you still need to learn the basics. I recommend buying language software, and books to get you started. However, lessons are also readily available on the internet for free if you know where to look. Check out http://www.about.com and http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/ Both of which are very good for beginners!\n\nGood Luck!

I would recommend Study Spanish at http://www.studyspanish.com\n\nIt has a lot of free material; even thought the Advanced and Certification levels are paid.\n\nIt has audio clips to help you learn the pronunciation, too.\n\nAll the best.

Here's something that's helped me a lot:  Read a lot in spanish.  Look for sentences that you understand.  Try to identify the word order in them, and mimic it.  Even if you are basically quoting (from books, songs, tv shows, etc) with just a teeny-tiny change of words, it will help you to internalize the sentence structures.

You can learn English  very easily now a days...!But  I can not tell about Spanish. A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English.  You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

Well, read your book thoroughly, for starters.  Figuring out what the teacher expects from you is another good place to start.  \nFor vocabulary, make flash cards, and try to associate the Spanish words with an English (or Latin, if you're familiar) equivalent - this may involve expanding your English vocabulary.\nConjugations in Spanish just take practice.  I haven't found a very good way to learn them except to just read them out loud and try to think like a Spanish-speaker.  If you know someone who speaks Spanish, you could ask them to help you practice.\n\nTo 'better study' though, you should set a routine for yourself and stick to it.  One hour a day of studying/doing homework for Spanish is an excellant way to build your skills.

Watch TLN channel 35 AND WATCH SOAP OPERAS. Try to find someone who speaks fluently and can practise basic conversation with you. Go to the library and pick up some beginner spanish learning books, children books are best because they have pictures and they break things down for you. Something to keep in mind, spanish like english has many different accents and slang words from country to country, a word can mean one thing in say colombia and something totally different in peru. Also many countries have words that are native only to that country. e.g. in english we have ebonics, southern accents, proper english etc

Listen to a lot of radio and television broadcasts.  Just have them on, don't struggle to learn each word.  You'll start to get used to the rhythms and patterns of the language.\n\nGet to a library and borrow Sesame Street, children's songs and poems.\n\nThat's how I learned Spanish (not my native tongue).  When you think about it, babies learn by repetition.\n\nEven when I don't speak Spanish for a while, I can still recall the songs and that helps me get back into practice.\n\nHave fun - English is a confusing language - so learning rhythms and patterns will take the stress out of remembering all those words.

Take a holiday in a Spanish speaking country...  Try to go where people are not too busy and they willl be more helpful.   When you hear the sounds and have to speak the language you will soon forget to be tongue tied.\n\nOnce you begin speaking learning the language will be easier.

This is my favourite one: http://www.studyspanish.com/shandbook.htm. \n\nIt is very thorough, and I have already learned a lot of basic vocabulary and grammar. Each vocabulary lesson has oral exercises (with both continental Spanish and Latin American pronunciations), flash cards, word searches, quizzes and tests. There are also verb drills, cultural notes, an idiom generator (for those expressions specific to a particular language that have no literal translation in another language) and many other features. \n\nYou can access most of them before you even sign up for the Free Membership, and they'll provide you with enough subject matter to keep you occupied for a good long time.\n\n¡Buena suerte!

The best way to learn a language is to go to the country where they speak the language you want to learn. However, there are manyh language schools in the world offering different types of courses, you could check them out too. \n\nBasically, if you want to be good, you have to know your grammar and in order to do that, you have to study and do exercises. Take every chance you get to speak and experiment with what you have learnt until you feel more comfortable using it. It doesn't have to be perfect at first, just as long as you are able to communicate. This is an excellent thing to do because it gives you self-confidence and you begin to get a feel for the rhythm and use of the language.\n\nIn order to improve your pronunciation, you have to listen to cassettes or dvd's etc, copy the sounds you hear and repeat again and again. It can be repetetive, but if you are a perfectionist, it's the only way to get your pronunciation even half-decent.\n\nOtherwise, you just have to keep practising as often as possible. A language is not something that you'll pick up in a day, you have to stick wtih it and practise regularly, otherwise you'll forget what you've learnt as quickly as you learnt it!

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 "really want to learn French" don't give up.
