How much learning the Spanish language advanced and basic do you really need? What is your ultimate goal as it relates to learning the advanced and basic Spanish language? What do you want to accomplish with learning the Spanish language advanced and basic?
Very important question. How you answer them will determine how quickly and how well you will learn Spanish. Let's take a very and very closer look at it.
Root any language of words. What good will it do you if you learn Spanish grammar, pronunciation, tenses, and all other theories when you only 5 Spanish words? Your Spanish language knowledge will be useless because you will not be able to communicate. And communication without, nothing happens.
Think of grammar, pronunciation, tenses, and so on, as the branches of a tree. The fruit of the tree will be the result of you speaking the language. You better talk about this tasty fruit. The branches hold fruit and attract to eat the fruit from the root. But, without the root, there will be no tree and no fruit.
Now, the Spanish language like any other language is huge as far as it is fluent and understanding of language as would a native Spanish speaker. Although the Spanish Alphabet is estimated to have half as many words as the English alphabet, you still have the same ratio to the words of everyday routine communication.
Therefore, being familiar with the grammar, the pronunciation, and the other theory is given. Without branches, so the fruit grow on? But, this amount of words and the kind words that you need to consider when answering the questions above. Until you get to become a Spanish poet, you don't need to memorize all the words in the Spanish dictionary. Just about 500-1500 words are used in functional words or conversational words.
To be safe, the construction of the words of at least 1500 to 2000 words would be favorable. The reason for this is that although you can control the words you use, you can't control the words the other person is using. Because of this, you need to learn more to understand the words Well you need to talk with.
Question: what type of words do you need to know?
Answer: talking about people, 75 percent of the time in six general areas of life.
- Family
- Business
- Personal care
- Travel/transport
- Food dinner
- Sports
If you want to learn to communicate well, you need to know about 300 to 350 words in each of these six areas. What good will it do you if you learn 1500 words in rocket engineering or any other specific field for that matter?
Let's say you have a doctor of some kind. If you know of 1500 words, medical terminology, you will not be able to communicate with your patients, as well as any average person, because they will talk most of the time in the above six areas.
If you want to know the words that specifically apply to your profession, you still need to cover the six areas of Life (listed above) in order to communicate well with anyone. So, the answer to the above will be your reason to learn Spanish.
If you need to learn Spanish for day-to-day communication, stick to only the six general areas of life. If you need it for your career, just add one more (or however much you need) the above six areas. This way you have a clear path to walk on, and you know exactly what to study.
Question: How do you memorize all those words in the fastest time possible?
Answer: in many ways. You don't need to practice all of them, but the use which helps you remember better.
Repetition - the decision that you will learn 5-10 new words every day. So, you the whole day from morning till night to learn the words and repeat them over and over until they get engraved in your mind. The next day, repeat these words a time before learning the next set of words. The day after, the words repeat one time from the last two days before learning the next set of words. And so on. Create a cut-off point so you don't repeat words from the last 30 days. Let say, you will repeat the words just 5 days prior to your current day.
- Make a crazy game - people have a great tendency to remember funny or crazy things. So, make it fun. As an example: the Spanish word for "tree" is the "Arbol" announcement [AHR-bohl]. When cutting a tree down before it falls, the person says. So instead, with this alternative: Now think of any other crazy ways remember in other words. People who may struggle with this method are analytical thinkers. People who are based on reality and have difficulty with out-of-the-box thinking needed to loosen up and have some fun. It will help.
- Picture Association - the Spanish word "book" "Book" of accents [LEEB-roh]. Any time you see a book, you automatically refer to the English word "book". Instead, every time you see a book of reference to the Spanish word for "book". So, when you go to the bookstore or a library, not to say: "many books to choose from", but says: "a lot of 'Libros' to choose from".
- Retroactivity - retroactivity is the cousin repetition. Iterations are how many times you repeat something in a given time period, while retroactivity is how long you use and apply it by when you initially learned it. You can do 20 repetitions of a Spanish word, ten minutes or you can do 20 repetitions of the same word, over five days. If you do this five days course (retroactivity) it from the store more easily in your long-term memory than if you do the same number of times (iterations) in ten minutes. Try it and you will be amazed at the best results.
- Usage Use - Usage the words you learn as much as possible. Find ways to use them, even if you use them on your cat or dog.
- If you like - you can own a special way to remember things, so use it. Or, you can invent your own unique way to remember things better.
