Introduction:
Practicing what you learn is as much as important as learning itself. If you do not practice enough the time that you invest will be down the drain. Like any other language learning process, Spanish needs lots of practice. In this blog, I will be introducing how to practice Spanish effectively and creatively. Before going to the topic of the blog let me introduce you a little to the Spanish language. Spanish is a Romance language that originated in the Iberian Peninsula of Europe. Today, it is a global language with nearly 500 million native speakers, mainly in Spain and the Americas. It is the world’s second-most spoken native language after Mandarin Chinese, and the world’s fourth-most spoken language.

Learn the basics
After learning Spanish, first, you need to learn and practice the basics that you have learned. Without learning the basics, you will not be able to go further down the learning road. All the parameters of the language need to be practiced equally as they complement each other.

Listen
Listening to native speakers is extremely helpful in learning the Spanish language. Watching documentaries or short videos are extremely helpful in learning the language. You can try to mimic the way they are speaking, pay attention to the tone and gesture of their speaking, and following them is important too. Listening to podcasts or radio is helpful too. There are podcasts in every language and on every topic, so this offers a great way to immerse yourself in Spanish. Keep in mind that you do not have to limit yourself to Spanish language learning podcasts. You can listen to news, sports, talk shows, comedy or songs, and any other genre in Spanish.

Make a chart of vocabularies, from the listening and reading practices, pick out new vocabularies that you encounter and learn its meaning. You can practice writing as much as you want.

Speak
Speak as much as you can, do not think about whether it is correct or wrong. This is to help you build up confidence for real-time. Create a scene in your head and try to have a conversation with yourself. Act it out with all the emotions too. It will certainly improve your Spanish accent. Keep practicing as practice makes it better and better. You can try this with your family or with friends, too.
