Jeannie, There are many ways of learning a language and every person learns differently. So what works for others may not work for you or what you do to learn might be simply just not what other would do. I have a few suggestions as to what you can do to learn a language (any language), you can just take what you feel most comfortable with and leave the rest, after all, the important thing is that you enjoy the learning process. First would be to read short dialogues, most free online courses will provide enough material to get to know the basics. This is useful because they will give you the kind of vocabulary that is used every day, so it is what you will most likely encounter when you begin to speak. Also they contain the most common structures. Now, you should spend some time to learn the vocabulary and the grammar of those, do not worry too much if you do not understand the grammar behind some greetings, since greetings were usually developed in older times and the grammar behind the greetings is not always a reflex of what the most common grammar is today in whatever language you are learning. With this I mean that if you see the sentence: Necesito verte mañana = I need to see you tomorrow You should look for the vocabulary in this sentence: Necesito (infinitive form "necesitar") first person singular conjugation= I need. Verte (infinitive form "ver") plus objective pronoun of the second singular person "you"= see you. Mañana = tomorrow. From this sentence you should learn the following grammar: In Spanish verbs conjugate in such a way that the ending indicates the person that conjugates the verb: Yo necesito = I need .... necesito = I need Tú necesitas = you need.... necesitas = you need Él necesita= he needs... necesita = he needs
