There is a link from reddit which is good for word use in a real context. Netflix, YouTube, world radio stations, new channels. How would you answer them? What words would you use to introduce you ideas, what grammar structures (conditionals, subjunctives) will you use?įor practising comprehension you have to go to the source. You can write short answers to questions on a huge range of topics by using this website: It's in English, but just imagine each question was in Spanish. You can write a diary, or about your favourite subject. Writing is really the forgotten skill, but fabulous because it makes you think clearly about how you construct sentences and express your ideas. You have to do that via the two productive skills of speaking and writing. Once you *understand* grammar, you have to internalize it, meaning, making it automatic. The most widly used is Anki (flashcards), but it wasn't designed for vocabulary originally.

There are very few resources for vocab acquisition on the internet, or applications you can download onto your computer.

Learning vocab is really really time consuming.

We learn grammar from books because its analytical, and we can do a lot of exercises like this too (there are thousands online), but the purpose of that is secondary to practising the four skills: Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading.

Grammar is essentially syntax, which means learning about valid word orders, and morphology (all those verb inflections and irregularities plus adjective/noun agreement). Grammar isn't intrinsically difficult, it's just different to what you are used to. Grammar and vocab.Įarly on, students cram the grammar. I'll break down the reasons into the two aspects students tend to focus on (as a long time English teacher myself). Sorry I cant really answer your specific question more directly though. Switch the language on your electronics to Spanish. Find someone to converse with in person who is a native speaker. So my best suggestion is if you feel like you arent progressing like you would hope, to look for new ways to practice and learn. Then a summer abroad I probably again doubled my knowledge. Then after 1 year with a great teacher I learned way more Spanish than I had in those previous 3 years. For instance, I spent like 3 years in high school learning nothing from mediocre teachers who didnt engage me and just had me to typical book work and written homework. Learning from a good teacher can be amazing, but some people learn well from being self-taught with the right resources. Immersion is the best way, without a doubt. Sometimes this will also vary greatly depending on the way that you learn. Some might pick up a language within a year, others it might take 5-10. Some people take longer to pick it up than others. Then with learning a language everyone is different. So ultimately, youd have to calculate all for each semester, for each year, and it would really add up quick. So you could reach 400hrs of schoolwork in 10 weeks.

In general, Id say its safe to estimate that full time school is comparable to a full time job, so 40 hours a week. For many classes, you might go for an hour to class 2-3 times a week, then have various amounts of work each week outside of class, sometimes id say 5-10hrs per week even. But each class can vary greatly on how much time you put in, and can vary from 3 credit hours to 5 credit hours per class. My degree calls for something like 120-130 credit hours, I dont remember exactly.
