The best way to practice the Spanish days of the week is to incorporate them into everyday conversations. Even if it's just telling someone what day it is today or what your plans are for tomorrow, frequent use will cement these words into your memory.

In one letter code, use an X for mircoles to avoid confusion with martes. Also, even though the days of the week are not capitalized, people often use capital letters for the one-letter code option.

They can be both singular and plural. To form a plural in Spanish, you need to add an -s or -es at the end of a word. In the case of the days of the week lunes, martes, mircoles, jueves, and viernes, they already end with an -s in their singular form and won't change in their plural form. You will know if they are singular or plural by the article they use or by a number:

I also have an edge because I've always been obsessed with the learning process. After reading several books on learning how to learn, I've tested the theories out in my career that has helped me climb the ranks fast, as well as with my hobbies in chess, Muay Thai, and bachata/salsa (read about my 6-month bachata sabbatical here).

While the curriculum wasn't ideal, I made the most out of my experience by asking questions I wanted to learn. I kept in touch with my fellow students and attended their free events outside of class. I recommend new students to try at least a week in a setting like this and get the most value they can from their teachers.

My learning pace is a lot slower now that I'm working again (currently as a writer and business consultant). My trip to Mexico was exactly what I needed to validate my learning efforts and inspire me to keep moving forward!

If you know the days of the week and their abbreviations, you can get around easily on holiday in a Spanish speaking country. One way to test if you know your days of the week in Spanish is to try saying them without starting at the beginning. Can you say them backwards or out of order?

When putting together sentences using days of the week in Spanish, those days absolutely must be preceded by a determiner. 99% of the time this will come in the form of the definite article, el, because all the days of the week in Spanish are masculine and singular words. But as we will see below, there are also other possibilities for determiners.

I found Coffee Break Spanish on Spotify very helpful for pronounciation and learning new words. But I only listed to roughly 7 episodes with a few repeats over the 30 days (20min per episode). While they were good, I missed out on a few words like My name is (Me llamo, pronounced meh) because in the recordings it sounded like Mi, pronounced mee. But it helped to look up words after an episode and write them down.

To remember the days of the week, it can be helpful to understand the etymology, or la etimologa, of the words. Like many romance languages, Spanish has its origins in Latin and Greco-Roman etymology, and the first five days of the week are named after planets.

For more casual conversations, like over text, Spanish speakers will use abbreviations of the days of the week to get their point across. Like most languages, the abbreviations correspond to the first letter or letters of the day of the week.

Kids love music, and it can be a fantastic tool for teaching vocabulary and other language skills. The rhythm and repetition in songs are the perfect formula to encourage your preschooler not to just hear the days of the week, but to start saying (or singing) them, too.

It was a wild ride, and what surprised me the most is how much the non-language experience helped my personal growth; here are the top 8 things I learned about goal setting, ambition, control, world peace, and empathy:

While I did use Duolingo in part of my language learning journey, this essay was originally written in 2013, during the golden age of Duolingo. Nowadays the product managers have A/B tested the app to death and it is no longer effective; I now disrecommend Duolingo.

I was one of the early beta users and joined Duolingo in June 2012 before it was publicly available, and have been learning practically every day since. At one point I had a streak of 1,000+ consecutive days, and even applied to work there.

However, figures like the 1,200 hours quoted by FSI paints the goal of learning Spanish as a daunting, massive undertaking. Rather than doing people a favor by telling them what to expect, it intimidates and discourages them from wanting to pick up Spanish in the first place.

You settle back into normal life, you all of a sudden have other commitments, there are fewer opportunities to practice, and your Spanish starts to regress. This is an example of high intensity, low consistency learning.

Most of us lead busy lives with work, school, family and social obligations taking up much of our time. Yet we should try to learn Spanish with a moderate level of intensity, because few people have the patience to wait 4 years or more to learn a language.

This assumes that you are taking lessons with a Spanish teacher at least 2 times per week, and spending the remaining time doing homework, and reviewing what you learned. This is by far the most efficient way to learn Spanish. For example, someone learning with Verbalicity might have a schedule that looks like this:

I finished my internship after 7 weeks and flew to Mexico. Upon arrival, I could freely speak to my Mexican friends in Spanish. We were all surprised how quickly I learned Spanish, but it just goes to show that a lot of work and having a good system pays off.

Hi Anna,Very impressive and well-written blog. My story of learning Spanish is more strange. I started it all by myself in India 4 years ago. So, forget any spanish-native or expat, there was no one who even knew Hola o Como estas!! I started with the you-tube videos in CultureAlley, then went on with Duolingo. These helped me in master the basic vocabulary. But when I attempted to watch Amoresperros without English subs on, it turned out to be a nightmare!!! Later, I realized that I need to improve my grammar. Online resources were helpful, and I started to watch movies with Spanish subs, starting from El Laberinto del fauno, Y tu mama tambien, Amores Perros, and went on to watch many spanish-language films with Spanish subs, which helped me in appreciating the language and its slangs much better. Today, I am in the UK and I am able to converse freely with a few Mexicans, Spaniards, and Argentinians, whom I come across in my uni. I am able to speak pretty fluently with them and understand what they are talking about, and even respond to them better. But the problem is that when I go on to watch series and movies in Spanish, I struggle a bit without the Spanish subs turned on. Could you guide me on overcoming this plateau???

It really depends on where do you live and what do you need it for. For instance, in Europe less common languages (eg. Finnish, Danish, Hungarian) were in demand, but companies in the UK, Netherlands or Germany were only looking for native speakers of these languages regardless of your fluency. Simply because they could.I used Dutch a lot because I moved to the Netherlands. Plus I keep on running into Dutch people on my travels and always get along ;-)In Europe they teach everyone English + another language in school and that's a requirement, but it's only basic. If you want to learn more you need to sign up for a language school or learn on your own. I had to learn Spanish as I wanted to live in Mexico, but other languages were purely for interest. 2351a5e196
