TIPS ABOUT LEARNING VOCABULARY AND OTHER ASPECTS OF THE LANGUAGE

First memorize the meaning of new words. Then, you close your eyes and focus exclusively on listening repeatedly each serie of words .If you hear some word whose meaning has been forgotten, please you review again those words. Then listen again the complete serie of words. Do this exercise until your brain assimilate every new word.

It is important to learn the new vocabulary together wiht the articles, since the english article do no distinguish the gender but the spanish article does it . Therefore, if you do not learn the complete "pàck" (article + name) wou couldd have serious problems in the future to make sentences correctly.

Even when you feel that you are not learning well, do not worry, your brain is getting what it needs.   Just repeat this exercise as often as necessary. This way, some day, you will be amazed about how your brain may learn and retain the new vocabulary and the new gramatical estructures. It´s almost magic. You only have to be constant and patient. This is the only true secret about learning languages. In time, you will get the desired fluency.


From now on, I will gradually reduce Translations into English, as I consider that you should already know the expressions and words used.
