Focus on the easiest parts of the language. Determine what makes the language easy to learn and don’t get overwhelmed by any of its complexities. There are a lot of things that make learning Spanish easy including:

• Spanish is phonetic so learning the pronunciation of a word you read should be easier than learning English.
• While other language have exceptions to their language rules, Spanish has none. For example, Czech has 14 ways of saying a lot of their words whereas Spanish will not have an exception. The word “casa” in Spanish will always be “casa”. When you learn a word you will never have to learn another variation of it.
• Spanish does not utilize tones. For example, Punjab can change the meaning of the same consonant depending on your inflection when you say it or whether your tone is high or low. Spanish has similar intonations as English so it may seem familiar.
• There are thousands of Spanish words that you already know because Spanish is similar to French and many English words originated from French. The ends of a lot of English words can give you their Spanish equivalent. These are known as cognate rules. For example, change “-tion” to “cion” for words like association. This will give you “asociación” which sounds virtually the same but is Spanish.
