After how many semesters of Spanish will I actually be able to converse with Spanish-speaking people? I've taken through Spanish 2 and still have no idea what the fuck beaners are talking about.
>semesters
if you think that if you only do school lessons on spanish and you will be fluent, you are retarded

It takes 600 hours for the average English speaker to become fluent in Spanish. You could learn it in two months if you dedicated 10 hours a day to it.

Learning a language from school is pretty much impossible.
Turn on the telly and tune it to Telemundo is what I would do.
>>133794738
It takes approximately 1000 hours of studying to learn an "easy" language like Spanish.

spanish is fucking garbage.
im just upset i learned german and not russian or something when i was in high school. cyrillic wouldve been useful as fuck to me but nooooo. . . i had to choose between taco, french, or german. all useless
>>133794738
you have to live among native speakers op
>>133794738
Spanish is one of the easiest languages to learn. depending how long and how hard you study it will take anywhere from 2 months to a year

Well you have to have some background to learn it other ways. What level gives me a functional knowledge of vocabulary and grammar?
You have to practice with people...not in class. Best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in a country that speaks it. No way classroom teaches you fuck all.
>t. 3 language speaking fag
you will never learn a language well from class
no seas mamon ps mira al telemundo y a las telenovelas si queres aprender algo
>>133794738
You need to build your vocabulary. School courses are mostly grammar. You're better off making and anki deck and drilling until you know 5000 words. At that point, you'll start understanding what people are talking about even if you know jack shit about grammar. THEN you can start studying grammar. The only way to learn to actually speak a language is the front-load the vocabulary, and then refine your sentence structure later on.
LOL! Moldavian and Romanian are pretty much Russian Spanish/French.

Makes sense since Romanians are literal shitskins and Russians are shitskins with white makeup
Just dont learn latin american broken spanish if you want to be taken seriusly

>Learning a language in school = retarded.
>Learning a language's grammar in school = it's alright.
>Getting apprenticed by a native speaker = genius. (6 months or so to learn virtually any language with this method)

my amigo no le hagas mal al muchacho
In all honesty, disregard this advice (>>133795998) unless you're planning on living in Spain. Otherwise you'll sound like a complete retard to the majority of spanish speakers.
