Mentality of learning

Now I am going to write a bit about the mentality that you need to create. Mentality in language learning is way more important than you might think. First of all, if you just want to learn a language at any cost but you hate it, you will simply struggle and you simply can't learn that language because you totally believe that it is impossible and you don't enjoy it at all. If you are here that it means you would like to learn Spanish and what is more important that you are interested in learning Spanish.

Furthermore, you have to find reasons why you need this language and it's even better if you write it down and read it recently. By the way, you should create an excel file about your goals like I will learn 100-500 words in March or I will learn grammar. It is ought to be detailed what you want to achieve and if you achieved just tick it. Just imagine it, if you can check your progress and you can see a lot of achieved goals then you will be proud of yourself and it will motivate you and the learning will be even easier.

Be positive! Just stop saying that you can't learn this or that language! Say that you can learn it and believe it that you can learn it!

 And finally a really truthful quote from Thomas Edison:
"Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration."

I wish you enjoyed reading this and please feel free to comment!

Improving Spanish by doing your daily routine

Hi,
In this blog post you won't find any Spanish word or Spanish grammar, I promise.

If you want to learn a new language you have to contact with it as much as you can.

Where?

1. news(papers)
2. TV
3. radio
4. Internet
5. movies
6. games
7. music
8. anything... Really, if you can find something in your native language then you can find it in Spanish almost always.

If you want to read  news in Spanish, you find some sites here or if you simply surf on the Internet just try to select Spanish language instead of English, French, German or whatever you use daily. Furthermore, if you want to watch a movie then watch it with Spanish subtitles or audio. Music? Yes. All people love music, and I bet you can find a  band who sings in Spanish that you will like. Well, if you like rock music then I think you will enjoy Ill Niño.If you hate rock music just try this song. Last but not least, games. If you play computer games then try to play it in Spanish. Most of the time you can understand a lot of things without understanding the language itself. Uh, that sentence was a bit odd but it's true.

Let's learn some words: Insects

Hi, as I said few days ago, now I am going to write some words in the topic of insects. Also I have "uploaded" a great starting book that I have started to use too because while we learn these words we ought to learn the Spanish grammar too.

Inglés - Español

insects - insectos

bee - abeja: If you now the game Oddworld, then this will be really easy again, but if you don't then click on the link and in my opinion it's quite hard to forget this "guy". Just combine with a bee on his nose or something like that.
hornet - avispón: You can connect it to the avispón =>spoon.
ladybug - mariquita: This and the butterfly were quite easy for me because I could connect it to my mother's name and imagine it really really easily, but if you don't have any friends or relatives called: Maria, then finding a famous person might be a solution or you can also connect it to chiquita.
butterfly - mariposa: Same
ant - hormiga: You can connect it to horn or the mig aeroplane .


As I have said a lot of times these imaginations should be funny, absurd, lots of movement in it. Please note that those things that I have mentioned so far for words are just hints and not the only way to learn these words. There is always a better alternative method, so please feel free to learn it differently if you find out a better solution :).


Task:
Try to find another 5-10 words and imagine it alone. 
p.s. If you would like to share it, you can do it under this post.
