Spanish is one of the “romance languages”, derived directly from the Latin of the Roman Empire. There is a great deal of Latin influence in English. In fact, Latin was the official language of England up until 1252 when King John made English the official language. Because of these common origins there are many similarities in English and Spanish. This makes Spanish easy for English-speakers to learn.

The best way to learn to speak Spanish is to take an interactive audio course. Good ones are available that you can buy and download from the Internet immediately. Once on your hard disk in mp3 format, you can offload copies to your iPod or other portable listening device. Or you could burn the lessons into CD’s and play them back on any CD player anywhere.

Of all the interactive-audio courses you might consider, Rocket Spanish will be at the top of the list. It uses excellent native Spanish speakers and a variety of teaching methods to teach you conversational Spanish in record time.

So how to learn Spanish? The best way is conversationally. You learn some basic vocabulary, a few words. Then you practice using these in spoken conversation. You ask and answer questions. You communicate. Doing that impresses the words on your mind and lets you assimilate them as tools useful for communication. You learn by using the language, not by memorizing vocabulary and conjugating verbs. Think about it. How old were you when you first learned what the word “conjugation” meant? I’ll bet you could already speak pretty good, effective English then!
