We know that balancing life and work is tricky. Learning a new language and adapting it into your routine can also be a tricky task. Here are some tips for you to practice Spanish that will make you feel more comfortable:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Practice<\/strong><\/em>. The time you invest after a regular session is up to you. Make the commitment to\u00a0practice consistently. This will involve review what you do in class. Memorize new vocabulary.\u00a0Write sentences or ask questions\u00a0with what you have learned.<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t expect to be perfect!<\/strong> <\/em>Learning something new\u00a0will always involve a big chance of failure. It’s through the mistake process that we learn everything in life. When you are learning a language, common mistakes will happen. Get over the idea that it will be perfect. You’ll see that perfection doesn’t exist. Even native Spanish speakers will make mistakes. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Be patient!<\/li>\n
  3. Use flashcards<\/strong><\/em>. In this learning process you will need fast resources that can help you retrain your brain. Flashcards are cheap and an easy way to learn new vocabulary or to review some grammar structures. You don’t need\u00a0big and heavy textbooks or\u00a0electronic devices, power cords or external batteries. You just need a set of 10 to 20 flashcards to practice select\u00a0words and\u00a0structures every day.<\/li>\n
  4. Use labels.<\/strong><\/em> Labels are also a cheap and great way for you to constantly see the words you are trying to learn.\u00a0 Pick a room in your home and label it. Keep it that way for a couple of days until you feel comfortable with the words and\u00a0can remember the names without looking at the labels. Later, you can label another room and so on. The more\u00a0words you see, the more words you\u00a0remember.<\/li>\n
  5. Think simple!<\/strong> <\/em>When you are learning a new language it’s very easy to\u00a0feel frustrated because you wish you could talk as fast as the native speakers. Keep in mind no one was born speaking eloquently. We all have a starting point. A good way to avoid the pressure you put on yourself is by thinking simple. Short simple sentences that really express what you feel or what you want are the best way to start gaining confidence again. The more complex forms will come eventually. Start with simple statements. Organize your ideas and\u00a0express simple thoughts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
