Learn Spanish Quick And Easy
The first thing I discovered upon my arrival in
Caracas was that I remembered much less
Spanish than I thought I did. As it had been over
five years since I had taken a Spanish course I
guess I really shouldn’t have been surprised
right? Who can really expect to remember much
from a high school course that was mediocre at
best? As I tried desperately to order a simple
sandwich and something to drink, I realized that
if I didn’t at least attempt to learn Spanish I
would most likely starve after a week or so.

How exactly does one go about learning
Spanish in a Latin American country? Seems
pretty easy right? Well I assure you it is not,
especially when your entire day is spent
speaking English. Another obstacle that I
quickly encountered was the very rapid way in
which everyone speaks in this city. It is amazing
how a sentence containing 10 words or so can
come out sounding almost like one long word.
Is that what English sounds like to people who
don’t speak English? It is exceedingly difficult
to learn words in another language when you are
unable to decipher exactly where one word ends
and another begins. This process is made even
harder by the fact that most people here fail to
pronounce the whole word anyway. There were
many words that I was convinced I knew and
was using quite frequently. Imagine my dismay
when I found out they had whole other syllables
on the end of the word. No wonder I had been
getting funny looks from people on the street
and in restaurants.

I eventually came to the conclusion that an
actual course was needed or even better, a
private tutor of some sort. The only way I was
ever going to learn Spanish was by actually
sitting down and studying with someone who
could answer the myriad of questions that arose
everyday. Sad isn’t it? Here I sit, living in a
Latin American country and I am unable to pick
up the language without resorting to private
lessons. Some people seem to have an ear for
languages and can pick them up simply by
listening, too bad I will never be one of those
people. Teaching Spanish easily
