I want to learn Spanish quickly. how can i? is it very different from english?

It is supposed to be one of the easier languages to learn. Sign up for a class at a community college, or buy those tapes for learning different languages. I took it in school, then worked in a largely hispanic part of town.... best way I learned was through experience.

you should learn all the vocab you can by reading books. then just try and conversate ...it also helps to know a mexican.

My first language is Spanish and when I started learning English, I found out that Spanish is more difficult! There´s a program called Rosetta Stone, it is very good for non Spanish speakers. I am a Spanish tutor in College, and a good advice is to look someone to practice with! There are a lot of verb tenses in Spanish, but don´t worry you don´t use them all...good luck!

www.beforeyouknowit.com good language teacher for learning the basics

it depends on your commitment to learning. Barnes & Noble book stores offer some good spanish reference books. It does help if you know someone who speaks spanish fluently.

The best way, fastest way but not necessarily the easiest way is to live with a Spanish family til you learn. Don't associate with any that don't speak Spanish, thus you are forced to learn very quickly. It's a do or die situation. My friend speaks French as well as one born into French culture after she married her French husband who spoke only French.

Every language has things in common and contrast. There are things called idioms which are words or sayings you can't translate literally. The "r" is also a big difference. http://www.wordreference.com/ http://spanish.about.com

I'm Asian as well. I do know a bit but you can try studyspanish.com

The only Spanish anyone needs is "Dos Coronas por favor". HAHA J/K! There are a few different computer software programs that you can purchase that will help you learn Spanish fairly quickly, obviously depending on how fast you learn. Good luck!
