*When learning to speak a new language your going to make mistakes, mispronounce words but don't be scared to try the locals will not think less of you they will help you often and will like the effort * (in my experience anyway )
* Another tip I was once given that I found/find helpful (I was first told this one in Germany ) is Watch a tv program like the Simpsons and find an episode you know well then watch in Spanish * Watching a program with the sub titles in English and the program in Spanish also helps some people * Or children's tv programs like Sponge bob as the Spanish will be simpler but it helps it sink in *And in Spanish unlike English they would say House white so Casa Blanca not Blanca Casa as you would say if you used English Grammar rules * Some people also I am advised have the subtitles in Spanish as well as watching in Spanish as it can help them *But what ever method you use have fun with it *If the shop keeper is Spanish and Speaking English when serving you don't be scared to ask them to speak in Spanish as it will help you learn they will be happy to and pleased your making an effort (in my experience ) and if you return to the shop often they may speak in Spanish (which sounds strange but a lot in tourist areas/areas with many British people speak in English to Brits automatically ) to you but be ready to swap to English or help with pronunciations or both * It can also be helpful to have a study buddy when learning a new language, you can learn together and help each other and it should also help it be more fun
