3. Smart Vocabulary building: It has been observed that learning the "high frequency" words in Spanish is a smart way to learn. Our linguistics research, corroborated by various other studies shows that not more than about 110 words, (maybe even less) are used in more than half of all communications! If you figure out and learn those 110 words, you are almost half-done and with a superb start towards learning Spanish. 4. Learning Exercises: Spanish Language texts often have exercises at the end of every lesson for practicing grammar and vocabulary of that lesson.

Effective pronunciation: Poor pronunciation habits can be hard to break but Spanish pronunciation is easy to learn because of the consonants that are pronounced are almost like their English equivalents.

You do not give it the "z" sound heard in "wears" and many other English plural words, although it can be slightly voiced (like a soft "z") when it comes before an m, b, d, v, g, l, n or r. Examples: "Susana". 7. Gradually start conversing in Spanish: There's no better way to get comfortable speaking Spanish than by actually doing it.
