Hello teachers and students! Looking for suggestions to practice my speaking skills in my own time.
Hello! Hola! I have been learning Spanish for a year and a half now and would love some tips on speaking practice exercises to do on my own. Aside from the weekly classes I take, I don't have a lot of time to search for and commit to conversation practice with a parter. My city has a lot of meet up groups for Spanish but I haven't found one I like. I would love some interesting and fun ideas to practice at home, in the car, on a break at work, etc! Thank you! Muchísima gracias!

Question

Answer

To read out loud is always a great idea because you get used to hear you speak in Spanish and also you practice your pronunciation. You can read, and then repeat the phrases you find interesting to know without looking at them. That's what I did with German and it really helped me! I recommend you to find first websites in Spanish of subjects that interest you so that you can read them on your mobile phone without losing time searching for texts. Of course you can't read in the car, but you can listen so music or podcasts while driving :) Wish you luck learning!

Answer

I think Pimsleur resources could be a good idea. I would also record myself and send the audio to a native speaker later to correct, or directly chat via Whats App through audio notes with a conversation partner, which doesn't require to commit at specific times.

Good luck!

Answer

¡Hola!

Para practicar la escucha y coger mejor la melodía del idioma, creo que te vendría genial intentar ver todo lo que pudieses en español, series de televisión, películas, noticias... Hay algunas series muy graciosas como "Allí abajo" (la puedes encontrar online), y una que se ha hecho más internacional como "Las chicas del Cable".

Descargarte alguna app de algún periódico español también es una buena opción para leer siempre que puedas un poco.

¡Mucha suerte y ánimo!

Answer

cada vez que tengas tiempo busca en Internet noticias  en Español y léelas en voz alta, busca el significado de las palabras que desconozcas y aprendetelas. Eso te ayudara a ampliar tu vocabulario y a tener mas fluidez al momento de hablar. Saludos

Answer

A) Watch English language television with SAP (Spanish) subtitles, or Spanish languge television (like Telemundo) with subtitles. B) read translations of popular books (the Bible, Harry Potter, Dan Brown, etc) aide by side with the English originals; read out loud.
