Learning Spanish

These are my recommendation to improve your spanish fastly:

Some tips for studying con success a foreign language
Learning Spanish


  1.  Learn the basic, first you will need some grammar organization, exercises and a good teacher who help you to understand the rules and the base of our language.
  2. Why not learn in an spanish speaking country? Living with an ecuadorian family in Montanita like homestay helps you a lot to improve your knowledge, vocabulary, learn about the culture and love our country.. as much as we do!
  3. Practice, practice your new skills, no matter if is perfect or a rusty spanish, talk with the people, know our culture, go to the store and ask for something, Ecuadorians, we are really open to the tourist, patient and friendly
  4. Read,,, read all the things that arrives to your hands, read the instructions on the shampoo, the bottle of water, the lotion or cream, try to find out what are the instructions in spanish and with time you will remember the vocabulary. Read the flyer that people give to you on the streets, everything helps
  5. Tv, normally our parents says is not educative but it is! if you use it like a teacher or instructor, you can start watching movies in english with subtitles in spanish, then watching movies in spanish with subtitles in english, finally watching movies in spanish without subtitles. If movies is to much for you,, try with tv shows, novels (soap poppers, internet videos.
  6. Listen.. music is not just relaxing is also educative, dance with the tropical ritmos or romantic songs in spanish, make relation between them. Create your own methodology.
  7. Youtube offer a big gamma of videos with the translate in spanish at the bottom.
