Learning a language other than your own is not an easy task. But just like any other learning struggle, the achievement in the end is incomparable. Unfortunately, you can't reach that part just yet if you don't have the proper attitude for learning. What you need to remember is to always be motivated with whatever difficulty you'll face.

Also, keep in mind that learning another language, in this case, the Spanish language is going to be a completely different experience. Don't expect that there are going to be similarities with the English and Spanish language. There are some words that may appear familiar but you still need to keep in mind that the there are certain rules, especially that it is grammar and language that you need to learn.

You can't expect to have learned each lesson about the Spanish language without committing any mistakes, can you? If you're too conscious about making mistakes, then you haven't really learned everything about the Spanish language the proper way. Accept that in learning, especially with a foreign language, mistakes and correcting it are necessary. So, make mistake and don't be too conscious if you have because that's just the beauty of learning.

After you have accepted your mistakes, you can then learn about the basics of the Spanish language. Basics of the Spanish language are important for beginners because it's the stage where you learn everything there are about Spanish (or any other foreign language for that matter). When you know the basics, you can handle anything from that point onward.

Don't forget to soak yourself with the real Spanish speakers. The native speakers are the ones whom you should listen to because they're the ones who use the language 24/7. There's no need for you to learn about the difficulty or the structure of the vocabulary when you can't even use for everyday conversation with native Spanish speakers. Listen and talk to them when you have the chance, watch Spanish programs or listen to Spanish music.

When you have embraced all the key points about learning Spanish the proper way, it's time to memorize the words. Follow the simple example below.

'The doctor prescribed ice cream to every child in town which has healed them seconds after eating the prescribed medicine.'

The Spanish word chosen, but doesn't appear in the sentence is 'helado' which is replaced by the word 'healed' to be linked to its English translation 'ice cream.' The purpose is to simply link the words together in an imaginative approach to help the brain absorb the information right away.
