Tips on Learning Spanish
By:Tiffany Provost

Learning Spanish can be frustrating just like any other language. On the other hand, with these revise tips, you'll find that you can learn Spanish in a way that best suit your learning style.

Be aware that various styles of learning exist. Different subject areas require different studying techniques. Everyone has their own method and way of studying. A visual learner learns facts best when they read them. Others would rather hear ideas verbalized before it is absorbed as new knowledge. Select an option which seems appropriate for you, then proceed to utilize the suggestions to enable you to study for an impending Spanish exam.

Concepts need to be seen by visual learners. You may prefer to see Spanish concepts on the page in front of you. {For your Spanish test, the best you can do is to learn only the terms and concepts for the test. Review your Spanish notebook and write some study sheets that condense the material in them. The knowledge will be retained in your long-term memory when you re-write the words. Then review these abbreviated notes over and over again until you really think you know them and you feel ready to write your Spanish test.

One who is an auditory learner needs to hear it all. Auditory learners are at their best when they hear the concept out loud. For optimal auditory Spanish education, it is recommended that you use a notepad and book and verbalize key meanings and concepts. Why not try a recording device like a tape recorder or your computer's sound recorder. Then listen to the recording repeatedly. Practicing Spanish terms and conversing out loud with a friend can really help you. Convert your Spanish study notes onto your iPod or mp3 player if you're able. You can take your study notes everywhere. This way, you can review them while on the way to school and waiting for class to start.

Being part of the action is what tactile learners need. For some, seeing and hearing Spanish information isn't enough; they need to experience it. A hands-on method is perhaps one of the best methodologies a tactile learner can employ in studying Spanish. Put questions and answers on the front and back of flashcards then match them to their corresponding Spanish term found on another piece of paper. Alternatively, attempt to act out words or concepts with loved ones. Acting out and experiencing the knowledge will set it in your mind. For tactile learners, flashcards, memory games, field trips and group study times will all help to give the experiences to help them study Spanish.
