Amazing Method to Learn How to Speak Spanish Uncovered!

Picture a young man sitting in a high school Spanish class trying to learn how to speak Spanish while the teacher wrote Spanish phrases on the blackboard.
That young man was me, and to put it mildly, this was not the best way to get me to learn a new language.
I struggled through four years of this with average grades and little retention of the material.
Now, many years wiser and with a new purpose to learn Spanish, I went in search of a program that would take me much further in Spanish language learning and do it quicker than those old classroom days of my teenage years.
Here is what I found.
Let me share with you the things that I wanted in the program.
If I was going to get involved in studying Spanish, and I was, I wanted to do it on my terms.
I only had a few things on my wish list that any study program that I would start must provide to me.
See if you don't agree that the things I came up with are a must for inclusion in any Spanish study program.
1.
Control It was essential that I have complete control of when I studied, how much I studied at a time, and where I studied.
If I chose to enroll in a community college course, I would be giving up all three of those things, and I just couldn't let that happen.
It would certainly feel good not to have to leave home to study Spanish in the evening after a long day at work.
2.
Engaging and Fun I didn't want the learning process to seem like work or be boring liked it seemed to be in high school.
Actively participating in the lessons I felt would make learning not only easier and faster, but fun as well.
I wanted to smile while I was practicing my Spanish lessons.
The presentation style of the program needed to be engaging with a variety of teaching techniques that would hold my attention.
3.
Results The program that I would eventually choose needed to have demonstrated results.
I wanted to see proof positive that many people had been successful with the program.
I figured that even my remedial Spanish learning abilities might be enough to get me through if I could find a program that had a track record of many successful students.
4.
Help When Needed I didn't want to be totally out on an island by myself.
Even though I wanted to study at my own pace, I also wanted access to help if I just couldn't find the answer any other way.
My motto is to always have a lifeline available.
So, you ask, was I looking for a needle in a haystack in trying to find a program to learn how to speak Spanish that met my four criteria? Let me just say that if it was a needle that I was looking for, I found it! I'm a bit of a computer nerd, so when I discovered that I could use my computer to learn Spanish in a fun and fast paced way, I was pretty happy.
It doesn't get much better I figured than sitting at the computer in the den learning stuff that seemed impossible 30 years ago in that stale high school class.
