🔥 Why is Spanish so difficult and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Spanish. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Spanish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Spanish?
Some people seem to 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 dedication. The actual range of time can differ by a lot 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 news and movies, try typing 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 not easy you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.

Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
