Learning Spanish Like Crazy My Learning Spanish Story

Learning Spanish Like Crazy is not my quantity one choice for me personally, and let me tell you why.

I started teaching myself Spanish about 1 1 / 2 years ago beginning with Pimsleur; I down all 4 levels of Pimsleur and have since used Platiquemos, Michel Thomas, and Learning Spanish Like Crazy. I personally believe that Platiquemos is the best program for me over I fully want to reach full native fluency AND I have the necessary 2 hours a day to devote to the program for the required 6 - 8 months that it will take to complete it - - that ' s the catch, and the reason I suspect that Platiquemos ( a cleaned up version of FSI Spanish ) is probably not the best choice for most people.

I do have to say that I believe you should try multiple programs at the same time because the overlap will REALLY help to accelerate the learning process. I began using Level One of Learning Spanish Like Crazy when I was half way through Level 3 of Pimsleur Spanish, and the fact that I was using both programs at the same time, hearing the same material two different ways, learning new material from each one that the other one didn ' t have, and last but not least doubling the amount of time I was practicing Spanish everyday REALLY helped me. I do have to say that I feel like I learned far more from level 1 of Learning Spanish Like Crazy than I did from all 4 levels of Pimsleur; also, LSLC actually uses the same teaching method as Pimsleur, which is an EXCELLENT method, but the cram in a LOT more material in the form of vocabulary AND grammar lessons that you don ' t get in Pimsleur.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy is available as an entirely digital download with MP3 audio files and a written transcript of all spoken dialogue in a pdf file, or you can order it on CDs and have LSLC mailed to you at an additional cost.

Write A Story Using Your Crazy Thoughts

Write a story: How much do we study a novel or play and stupor how on earth the author came up with the storyline and location did the original idea come from? When writing legion authors enclose snippets of their lives and experiences. How would we know if they did? What is fact and what is fiction? If onliest we knew the truth it would average make a more interesting story than the one the author has written.

Polished inferior known authors much return their own experiences and build on them. Giving them an extra twist or adding the gory to make the tale more interesting. We all have tales to tell, but sadly multifarious are lost. Take the many heroes of the last world war where it was not considered anything out of the ordinary to save a persons life or commit an act of bravery. What stories have been lost and will never be told.

The budding author always wants to know what he or she should write about. The answer is always to write about what you know. Take a simple experience, like walking the dog. How could you turn that into a story?

Take a scenario of you walking the dog along a country lane. You have done the same walk for five years and nothing out of the ordinary has ever occurred, but this time everything is about to change.

In the distance walking somewhat stiffly towards you is a man in his latter years with a heavily whiskered face while holding a crooked walking stick in his left hand. What makes this man different is his companion.

Towering above his head and walking ungainly beside him is a finely feathered Ostrich. The huge bird is un - tethered and, as if attached by an invisible cord, keeps close to its master. Your four - legged friend stiffens his body and stares at the strange pair emitting a slow growl. You call your dog back and put him on a short lead. You are uncertain what to do as the pair approach.

Now within talking distance the man smiles warmly and doffs his battered straw hat and noids his head. You falter, and stutter a brief reply, as you stand almost mesmerized. The man chuckles and replaces his hat as if he understands your thoughts. He then continues along the lane beside his strange companion until they disappear into the distance. Meanwhile your dog appears uneasy; looks around him and begins to shake.

It may seem a little unusual, but it could happen and you can make the storyline continue with all sorts of twists and turns. Some famous novels have begun with a brief encounter between two complete strangers.

Many people who need to write struggle to find a subject, but that is because they are thinking too much and not putting pen to paper. The mere act of beginning a story or tale about any subject will lead you on a road of discovery.

So begin at the beginning throw your pen at the paper and continue from there.
