Anastasia, the polyglot, is learning Spanish
As a new person into the language, before I begin to actually speak, I would like to know:
Months 1 – 3:
– how to read the words correctly and how to pronounce it right (2 lessons, 3 max)
– the practical words that I can use right now (about 2000)
– the structure of the language, what are the parts of the speech and the principles of how I have to put them together in the sentence (10 lessons, 2 months max of the actual study and 1 month of repetition, exercise and digestion)
– the practical words that I can use right now (about 2000)
– the structure of the language, what are the parts of the speech and the principles of how I have to put them together in the sentence (10 lessons, 2 months max of the actual study and 1 month of repetition, exercise and digestion)
All in the present tense
Normally, to go through these three it takes a human being 3 months.
– tenses and complex structures come easy after the basic foundation is created
Months 4 and on:
– Tenses and start the actual speaking – now I know EVERYTHING I NEED (reading and pronunciation, words, all parts of the speech and how to put up a proper sentence)
– Practice, work with long materials such as texts, movies, books etc.

A short priority phrasebook for a person to be able to go to the country and be able to say hello, good-bye, thank you, I’m sorry, check please, god bless you etc. About 20-30 things.

Just having gone through Part 1 of 2-3 lessons the person is already able to use the language because: he or she knows to read and pronounce, knows adjectives and a few more words and knows how to say the listed above useful and common phrases.
Beginner level A1-A2

The result:
Another 10 lessons that give the student the possibility to be just fluent in the language only missing tenses and complex grammar usual for the Intermediate level. The basic knowledge of this level allows the student to feel comfortable speaking in the daily life, inside places as well as out on the street. These 10 lessons are a sufficient foundation for the future Advanced level. This level is achieved within 3 months maximum. The Third Priority Foundation gives the ground for a super easy acquisition of the tenses and the following grammar. This is the complete basic course. Even without learning much further it is possible to catch up the language living in the language environment only and without any specific learning process. Something that I call “The Active Lazy Learning.” Going through Part 3 is recommendatory.
