How I Got Fluent in Spanish (Native-Level Speaker after Failing Spanish Exams for Years)
I didn’t grow up speaking Spanish but I am a native-level speaker now.
I am from a small village in the Basque Country.
I grew up speaking Basque only at home and in the street.
I learned Spanish with TV and films, and later books.
Yes I started reading books when I was very young.
Not childrens books but novels and history books I found at home.
Anything that looked interesting, like my grandpa’s WW2 magazines, I read it.
But I’ve always been a bad student and I was specially bad at Spanish classes in school.
I used to do really badly in Spanish class and fail Spanish exams, not because my Spanish was bad (in fact, I could speak and write really well already) but because I had zero interest in grammar and couldn’t force myself to pay attention in class.
Grammar exercises were extremely boring for everyone but especially for me, because of having ADHD.
They made us dissect sentences, analysing the grammar.
I never learned to do that. I still can’t probably do it well.
It was boring and useless.
Only reason to learn it was to pass the exams.
What’s the lesson here?
My point here is not that if you want to learn a language well you have to start as a kid.
My point is that if you want to learn a language well you need to read and listen to interesting content, not study grammar rules.
They could start implementing this in schools tomorrow.
Everyone could speak 4-5 languages fluently by the time they reach adulthood.
They won’t do it because the education system is run by mediocre, lazy and close-minded midwits.
So if you want to learn languages effectively, you need to take matters into your own hands.
