Supplemental Practice

After you have some exposure to the words, and you have heard them
and seen them, then comes the time to do something with the material.
You have to work with subject matter concretely, or else, what happens is that
it is only listening or a mental skimming of the language. Or, you are mindlessly repeating the words or phrases, and you are not really digesting the material.

What you can try to do is try to implement a study plan. If that sounds scary,
don't fear. I used to be afraid of memorizing words and lessons. That seemed to
take the fun away from the experience.

I found this page, for example, while browsing the web.

Take pages like this, because you have something tangible and concrete to look at, at least. Perhaps, if you like printing, you can print parts you want to read with the material in hand.

I like that the site gives us choices and categories. I don't have to choose material that is pushed onto me or material that I don't like. Knowing me, I would probably go to "words" or "food" in terms of topics and stay away from things that seem mechanical, like maybe, let's say...if the page was all about cars and mechanics, then I wouldn't want to learn on this page. (Just like a girl?! you ask/...don't know...but I do know me...I like what I like.)

So, get your mind and eyes to agree with the topic in front of you.

"Hey, this, I like!!!"
"I can relate to this!"

This attitude, then, will enable you to learn.

If you do tire of the material or didn't care for it, set it aside, and look for
other things that motivate you to have more exposure to the language of Spanish.

Be of good cheer!

I know that soon, you are going to like studying Spanish, because
you are interested, and you call the shots when it comes to something you like.
