Welcome to 'Hablemos Español' (Let's Speak Spanish)! In this blog, I would like to offer the opportunity to learn Spanish for free to those who cannot afford expensive programs and classes. As a native Spanish speaker and a student of other languages, I understand the many frustrations involved in the process. In addition, there are so many ways to learn a language that it is hard to find the perfect method to do so. Some individuals are more visual than others so programs that focus on photos to teach vocabulary would not work too well for people who learn better by listening only. On the other hand, those two methods will not do much good for people who have to work with their hands. Instead, the writing or practical method might work for these type of learners.
I will try to incorporate different ways to deliver the material. I will ask you all to be a bit patience since it will take me time and some learning of my own to carry out these tasks. First, I need to learn about the limitations of blogger and what it would allow me to do. Second, I need to find ways to carry out my objectives without losing focus on the main purpose of this blog: to make learning Spanish fun and easy to learn.
From you, I'll ask you to be patient with yourself since we all learn at different pace and using different methods. Most people tend to translate everything into their native language. In some instances it helps and in other instances it does not. Granted, sometimes we need to compare what we are learning to something we already know.
Have fun and enjoy learning words and expressions that can be used in the Spanish Speaking world. If you never heard of it or seen it, feel free to ask questions. We are all here to learn and teach at the same time.
Bienvenidos a Hablemos Español!
