Saturation
 

When I was in the middle of the learning process, it was less about how much time I spent specifically studying Spanish, and more about how committed I was to consistently expose myself to Spanish. I was amazed by the progress I made by taking every opportunity to literally saturate myself in Spanish -- listening to Spanish language music in the car, turning on Spanish language news, watching DVDs in Spanish (with English subtitles!), shopping at local Hispanic markets... and then practicing by imitating expressions and phrases that I heard. When possible, I would make note of expressions and phrases that stood out and I would either look them up or ask about them, when possible. It was a gradual, but very steady process and I realized that I was not only learning new words and phrases, but also learning the language as a whole, rather than a series of vocabulary words and conjugated verbs. It was a huge help in the learning process.

Thanks for your comment, this is helpful:)

Yes it's good your method, literally you have very organized your time spent in your time free studying the language, then I figure out with it and I'm agree with that too.

If you have motived for any question in learn the language, then I believe you will reach a level considerable in a short time.

Estudio cada día para aproximadamente 10-15 minutos. ¿Qué pensáis? ¿Está suficiente?

I made two big corrections above. If you don't understand why red words are wrong please tell me.

10 minutes a day is better than nothing, but for me is not enough because when your brain is getting warm, you stop studying. I think 30-45 is a good choice for everyday. But I don't count the things I study by time, I do it by objetives. For example: Learning 3 adjetives, 3 nouns and 3 verbs a day + reading (and searching all words, asking doubts, etc) a short story + 1 poem loud recitation... If you don't have too much time you can put simple objetives. I just try to read something everyday. Three poems, or a short story, or some declamation... no more than 20 minutes.

Yes why not, you do your major endeavour daily and but if you have more time free, then you could to take more of your own time and it dedicate more time for study more Spanish.

Just it's a council for you.

Ya que no estoy en escuela, me paso de 30 minutos a una hora para estudiar cuando estoy trabajando. Cuando no estoy al trabajo, me paso de 3 horas por día....

It's wonderful form, if you don't realise anything in your time free then you have the enough change for studying more about the language, of this way you will be able to learn more abou the language and later in a shot time you could have a little or big capacity in your skill, so I do more or less in my own case, in essence when I'm giving class of my five grade pupils, sometimes I don't remind something important but I search again in the internet and surprise the divine Google comes to me and tell me the form again.

Therefore I believe it's a good idea you have took in addition of your study daily.

Good luck with your learning it.
