Some of the most effective ways that I have learnt Spanish is by using flash cards, the Spanish dictionary and watching movies with the translations running beneath .

I learn by listening to others speak the language. Luckily I have my parents to listen to. However, if my parents aren't there, I like to listen to Spanish songs or watch movies in Spanish!

The best tip, I have, for learning Spanish is to learn however you learn best. I learn best by writing out lines. For me, writing in repetition helps me retain what I'm learning. Also, using a language program, like Duolingo, allows me to repeat the skills I have trouble with. I re-do the level if I've lost a heart. That way, I train myself to remember as I don't like having to repeat a level more than once.

I started using Duolingo to learn Spanish. It's an app for Ipod, Iphone and maybe Android. I've found that to be really helpful, because it learns what words you need help with and shows them more often.
