Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 59 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! You should be very proud of the progress you have made. Anybody who tells you that learning a new language is easy is either a genius or they haven’t tried to learn a language on their own. I like today’s quote because years down the road you may truly look back on your hard work and be grateful for the experience and the character you built in the process. It will be fun to look back on new people you met as well.

In today’s video, Dave guides you through the rest of the Additional Practice Unit and the Becoming Acquainted Section. He also encourages you to watch a Spanish movie with Spanish subtitles. This will help with both audio and reading Spanish comprehension. This will also help you to avoid translating everything word-for-word. You want to start thinking in Spanish and avoiding the English language when possible. As you hear more and more Spanish, it will seem like it is being spoken slower and slower. I can remember when I first heard native Spanish speakers and how fast they spoke. I didn’t think I would ever be able to understand them. With time and study, it got better and better. You will go through the same process.

These videos are being posted on the blog under the category “Learn Spanish Challenge”. You can also watch the videos on our YouTube channel, and I post them daily on Facebook and Twitter as well.

The beautiful things you create are the results of hard work and struggle.
