🔥 Why is Spanish so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Spanish. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Spanish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to learn Spanish?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Spanish will demand at least 600 hours of active use. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Spanish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.
🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Spanish coach?
In colleges and universities, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of verified Spanish tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges as a rule offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
