But, pjt and Poli - your answers were "what one should do to learn a language". I'd actually be VERY curious as to how YOU both learned your Spanish. What prompted you to start learning Spanish? What were your initial attempts at learning it? Where were you in your learning after about a year or two of progress? What did YOU find most helpful?

Again, I don't mean to be contrary. But I have heard many times in this forum "one should" and "the best thing is immersion". Yup. Got it. I understand. But I like to hear actual stories from different individuals about how THEY learned, personally......

I'd like know if you have said it for me and also it respect the commentary that you have made here, but I believe that every commentary is welcome to this place, now, I agree with Poli's answer refer. How can he learn the language..

But anyhow I believe that each person has different way to think in the sense of the as you should learn the language, really the method easier is learn each new word and later write them in any place for example here, or out to here, really the decision is the same person.

I'd like to know your commentaries about that....

I read what you wrote - and it was exactly what was asked for: "how did you learn?" You didn't give a generic response. That's why I didn't address my question to you. You're right - everyone has a different way of learning. That's why it's great to hear from lots of different people on this one question.

that program is extremely helpfully. its basically a flashcard program. Simply add Spanish vocab as you learn new words throughout your studies and it will quiz you on a few everyday. I started this about a year ago and currently have 2,900 words and grammar rules in it and know all of them (except the recently added ones).
