If you're like most people, you can probably say a couple of simple words and phrases, and maybe you've even learned how to count in Spanish. Or, maybe you’re a little more advanced but keep getting stuck on conjugating Spanish verbs. I'll never forget having a conversation with someone once who had expressed a strong desire to learn Spanish.

When I asked him how he planned to approach verb conjugations his reply was he had planned to avoid verbs altogether. I know this might be an extreme case, but so many people really struggle with Spanish verb conjugations. For example, do any or all of these terms sound familiar to you?

How To Avoid Common Pitfalls

In your quest to learn to speak Spanish, there will be the tendency to want to translate words. However, you must avoid this as much as you can.

Why? Because translating words back and forth while learning Spanish requires too much time and mental energy. If you have to translate everything, you will never really learn Spanish fluently which is your ultimate goal.

What you must learn to do instead, is associate new sounds with the mental images in your mind. This is the secret to really accelerating your ability to learn to speak fluent Spanish.

I call this "learning to speak Spanish through repetitive association" because what you're really doing is establishing new patterns of thinking by associating over and over again a series of sounds with mental images or ideas of an action.
