How To Learn Spanish
I still remember when I decided to learn Spanish, about four years ago.
I had failed miserably at every other attempt at learning a language. French. Three years of Japanese in College, of which I remember nearly nothing.
I have a genetic disposition for poor memory, for god’s sake. But I was moving to Colombia for a few months, and was determined to learn, in spite of the unknown.
This probably sounds familiar. Maybe you’ve tried learning Spanish before, to little avail.
So for whatever reason – travel, speaking to family or friends, work, or love – you’ve decided that 2020 is the year to finally learn Spanish. That you are tired of waiting. That you want to finally be able to actually communicate. You want to prove to yourself and everyone around you that you can learn another language.
But you realize that there’s a lot of BS out there about how to learn a language. You don’t want to just follow the traditional methods that are so ineffective and expensive.
That’s where I come in.
When I arrived in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, I started a documentary about not just learning Spanish, but doing it in a single month.
And 18 months later, I filmed another documentary, this time with my Spanish teacher and now best friend as co-student, about learning Portuguese in a single week.
