Any tips to learn Spanish?

Hey Luciana! Where are you from? I am a native spanish speaker and I think that those tips could change depending of your native language :).

Hello, I would listen to music in Spanish. Watch TV show in Spanish. Usually the public libraries have books for children or DVDs that are English and Spanish. I think that would be a great to start. Also whenever you are on here you can try to chat with someone in Spanish so that you can practice.

Wow, such great tips! Actually I haven't thought about public libraries as spanish classes support. Thank you very much, Ari! :) 

Hi Jess, I'm a brazilian trying to keep my english brushed while I learn spanish. I'm going to Argentina in february to study and only have a few months to learn all I can. 

Try to learn word for word and check for translation and make friend with native spanish then talk to them on chat or in person 

I suggest you start with this to develop a base

Argentinians have a ver special accent, I recommend you listen to their accent while you study instead of other spanish accents. They use a lot "vos" instead of "tú" or "usted" and they pronounce the "y" and the "ll" different, like "lluvia" (rain) they pronounce it "shuvia" and "yo" (I/me) they pronounce it "sho". I'm not sure if it is a regional thing or a country thing, but every Argentinian I've met or heard speaks like that. 

It is good to hear that your native language is Portuguese, with a good spanish base you should be able to catch spanish easier once you start to communicate with natives. 

If you use Spotify you can follow my Spanish learning playlist... Songs that I like but are also easy to understand. :) https://open.spotify.com/user/jenjoaquin/playlist/5KteoNLX0Zrasl6CtQ3eB2?si=5oZyQLhAQhO9uT1Gb8Qy_w

this is a great video link thanks for sharing, not to judge on first appearances but I think a transition between Brazilian and Spanish will be relatively stress free we have a lot of products in the shop here written in Spanish then Portuguese below I am making a snap judgement on food and movie subtitles but I don't feel like two different as greatly as some languages do. good luck with the Spanish buen suerte
