Hola, I've studied Spanish for 6 years but when I went to

How can you possibly study a language for 6 years and have no vocabulary? ¿Eres idiota?

Si. Also lack of effort outside of class. I think it has a lot to do with the way the classes were structured. At my high school most of the focus was on reviewing the same grammar rules every year rather than vocab. And most of the vocab would be forgotten after the test.

Have you ever read a book in Spanish?

It sounds like you got complacent and rested on a plateau, and now you're trying to overcompensate by running headfirst into the biggest meme Spanish novel you can think of.

Hello my friend. If you want to read Quijote in Spanish go with the ASALE 2015 edition published by Alfaguara.
Now, I don't think that's a good idea. Why don't you try to reading something easier? Try Cuentos de la selva by Horacio Quiroga or even El túnel by Sabato. Both are better options.

^^^^^^^^This.

Cuentos de la selva is really good. It's fairly simply written but poetic and with some evocative words. Should be really good for your vocab.

I've been studying el castellano for 4 years now and I did pretty well in Spain but those motherfuckers speak way too fast. Don't feel too bad about it. I still couldn't begin to tackle el Quijote.
