All,
I?ve finally taken it upon myself to learn Spanish. I need some advice as to what?s the best approach; For example, is it best to start off learning commonly used phrases or build a vocabulary base of Spanish words first? I plan to learn over a 1000 words of Spanish and take it from there. Also, does anyone know exactly how many Spanish words does one have to know, in order to hold everyday conversations with native Spanish speakers? Is it something like 3000? IF one dedicates 1 hour per day, 5 days a week; to study spanish, how many months should it take to be able to conversate with spanish speakers?
For newbies is it better to learn to speak Spanish, before learning grammar rules etc..?
Thanks in advance!
