well don’t buy them little courses that come on Cd’s and stuff like that, because those don’t work. You need to surround yourself with the environment. It is not only the language, but also the culture. Move somewhere where is only Spanish or you are going to have to go back to school. It is the only way, if you want to learn another language properly and not chopped up.
You can definitely be fluent in spanish within 2 years. I would take at least a couple of classes to get the basics down. Then maybe find a social group where you can learn idioms and phrases.
Since spanish and Italian are both latin based you might be able to learn both. I know I would have trouble keeping the 2 languages separate as I was learning.
Buena suerte!
Anything+is+possible%2C+all+that+really+matters+is+how+much+you+really+put+into+learning+the+language.
Well all I have to say is i took Spanish 1 and Spanish 2 at school for two years and im still not even halfway near being fluent.. Haha living in a Spanish or Italian speaking country would definitely speed up the process
Spanish and Italian are very similar. so its`possible that you learn in those 3 years.
The letter R is always present in both languages so try it and do the best afford and you will be speaking 3 different languages soon
learn spanish first then italian will come easier move to mexico and youll rearn in like a year if you are good at it.
