Most people who have studied the Spanish language would usually be too conscious of learning, understanding and then translating a Spanish sentence or phrase to English word by word. This is one of the most common errors a learner commits because the subtle side to it shows that if each word is translated to English, there will be less misunderstanding. It's really ironic because the often this is practiced, the worse it gets. Word of advice, refrain from this type of learning approach.

Take advantage of the Spanish advertisement you can easily watch or hear over the radio, cable TV, Internet radio and the Internet in general. Though the words may seem strange at first, the approach of commercials is to mainly dig in deep to your mind the captivating words of the different products that are being endorsed. The same thing happens to you, never mind the product of the ad, but cling on to the Spanish words and the more you hear and try to understand what it simply means, the easier you will be able to use it on your own.
