🔥 Why is Spanish so challenging and are there ways to learn it faster?

Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun 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 brag about their 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 study. The amount of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Spanish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional 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.
