I've started listening to "Coffee Break Spanish" on spotify. It's been helping with how to pronounce and listen to the language. I'm currently on CBS 1.03, "saying where you are from"

It's free, contains lessons that build on each other, and has short, bite-sized information.

these methods are what are helping me the most to learn spanish:

1. Label Your Household Items: Place labels with Spanish names on objects around your home. This constant exposure helps reinforce vocabulary in a practical context.

2. Create a “Spanish Only” Zone: Designate a specific area or time each day where you only use Spanish. This could be a room or a period during which you read, watch TV, or speak only in Spanish.

3. Use a Spaced Repetition System (SRS) for Vocabulary: Instead of traditional flashcards, use an SRS app to review words and phrases at increasing intervals. This method helps improve long-term retention of vocabulary.

4. Write a Diary in Spanish: Keep a daily journal in Spanish. This practice helps you think in the language and improve writing skills while reflecting on your day.

5. Sing Along with Spanish Music: Choose songs in Spanish and sing along, paying attention to the lyrics. This helps with pronunciation, rhythm, and understanding colloquial expressions.

6. Learn Through Role-Playing: Act out scenarios in Spanish, such as ordering food in a restaurant or asking for directions. This method helps you practice practical language use in a fun and interactive way.

Important: Methods can change depending on what works for you, so try everything you can. Methods can also turn out to be less effective as you gain more knowledge.

obs: Spanish is my priority right now because I’m no longer learning it as a hobby but as a necessity. You are free to correct me.

I wanna learn Spanish (Mexican), but like, real everyday Spanish, not the stilted nearly incoherent shit that public schools and colleges teach.

Where would I learn that best?

Suggested forums/programs/strats?

I mean I could just like, go to a local store and try to strike up a conversation, but I don't think talking to some rando with their language equivalent of a heavily accented

"GOODETH MARROW GOOD SIR/MA'AM, WILT THOU ACCOMODATEST ME UPON MINE VALIANT QUEST TO SPEAKETH?"

but said like a very drunk redneck who can't articulate is going to be very fruitful.

i wanna learn real Spanish.

i wanna learn how to cuss with the best of them.
