Learning Spanish

A few months ago I purchased a subscription to Babel, a software program to learn different languages.  I have access to all languages that it offers, but I am using it only for French and Spanish.  I went thought a lot of the French, of which I already know a lot, to refresh my knowledge.  Now I am concentrating on Spanish, of which I knew little at the start.

I have learned a lot of Spanish since I began studying it.  It is nice to open a page of text on the Internet and understand a lot of it.  

Babel is a good program, but I could never achieve fluency using that alone.  I have immersed myself in the language, reading stories in Spanish on YouTube, and taking lessons posted on YouTube on a variety of topics about grammar snd rules and vocabulary.  Also, by listening to the spoken word in recordings my understanding of spoken Spanish has improved tremendously.

I am a long way from becoming fluent, but learning another language is a big project and you build on your knowledge day by day without worrying about being perfect.
