The real challenge in learning Spanish
How can you get new words in Spanish to stick in your head and remember them?
Many of us who have moved out to Spain have tried hard for years to improve our Spanish, but keep running up against the same old, familiar roadblocks. This is something that James Bretherton from James Spanish School is well aware of and has seen time and again in his long teaching career.
As James says in his latest video, one of the trickiest things for foreign language learners of Spanish is, quite simply, the fact that the words just won’t stick in their heads.
“You put in the effort, you study for hours, but the vocabulary you learn keeps slipping away,” says James. “This frustration when words simply won’t stick is the main reason why many people stop learning Spanish altogether.”
James Spanish School is a popular online teaching tool for expats and those of any age who are interested in learning and improving their Spanish. James has many years of experience sharing his knowledge in a down-to-earth, relatable way that students say takes the pressure and difficulty out of the learning process.
James has loads of tricks for helping to learn Spanish, and for the task of remembering vocabulary that seems to slip away he details.
“This is especially true as we get older but it’s a problem we can solve,” he says. “To truly succeed, you need to master two things: keeping new words in your memory and speaking with clear and correct pronunciation.”
For that, James Spanish School has collaborated in the creation of the WordAmigo, an AI-powered tool that uses a step-by-step approach designed to lead students to success every time.
It works by repetition of 5 simple steps: just take one of their pre-made lists of the most useful words you need to remember, listen to them on your phone wherever you are, and then say the words aloud by recording them onto the system. It will tell you how correct your pronunciation is and you can repeat until you get them right.
After that, the tool uses flashcards and quizzes to test you on your knowledge, repeating the same information until you have it locked down in your brain and ready to reproduce at a moment’s notice.
You can also make your own lists of words that are especially troublesome for you, to adapt your learning to your needs.
