Question

What is the best way to learn to speak Spanish?

Community Answer

Try an online app or website that allows you to do it at your own pace. There are different daily goals you can pick to do what you want to do and you will be able to make full use of the images, the text and the audio offered by such sites or apps. It can also be useful to find Spanish speakers in your community or online, to have live conversations in Spanish.
