One very simple and quick tip that I keep suggesting to my students: change the language in your devices. Change your phone’s, browser’s, social media accounts’ and operating system’s language to Spanish.

Maybe I’m exaggerating if I say it’s a lot of fun, but it really is a good first step into immersion. By frequently encountering the same words for paths you usually take, you’ll acquire some words naturally. And who knows what they’ll enable you to do in the future.

Try it, it’s reversible!

Happy Spanish learning,
