Do you want to know how to learn advanced Spanish fast and easy if you are living abroad? In this article, I will provide you with one my favorite method. Let's first look at an interesting email that a subscriber from my learning-Spanish newsletter sent me a few days ago:
"Hola Patrick, I live in Mexico and I am an English professor here. Most of my friends are native English-speakers who teach English here in Mexico. My wife is also an American who teaches English here in Mexico. So even though I live in Mexico I don't have as many opportunities to speak the language as most people would think. When it comes to Spanish grammar, I consider myself on a very advanced level. But I'd like to improve my Spanish conversational skills. I consider myself too advanced to take Spanish classes. Do you have any suggestions?"
Here is some advice: Converse with 2 more native Spanish speakers
One way to improve your Spanish speaking skills is to interact with two (2) or more native Spanish speakers. That way, you will hear not only how they speak to you but also how they speak to each other.
Sometimes Spanish-speakers will speak to someone who is learning Spanish different from the way they'd speak to a native Spanish speaker. I do this all the time when speaking to someone who doesn't speak English well. For example, when speaking to a tourist in Nueva York who is asking for directions I will speaker slower and more clearly than normal.
Speaking that way may be very helpful for beginners. But for someone on an advanced level or for someone who wants to accelerate their learning, this may not be quite as helpful. For this reason, I encourage you to have a conversation with two or more Spanish speakers and pay close attention to how they speak to each other.
