For Teachers: How do you teach vocabulary to your students?

Am curious how teachers teach students extensive vocabs. Do they give students a list of words to memorize..or they start with the very basic and increase from there? So far I am self-taught in Spanish and I get overwhelmed with the amount of new vocals to learn...and I ended up not learning much because I get confused. Maybe there is a more systematic way of doing things. 

Also with verbs, there are so many Spanish verbs and their conjugations. Do teachers begin with one verb and do present tenses first...or one verb and do all conjugations from present to future.

And for Spanish teachers, when do you teach Subjunctive verbs? at what point during the student's learning curve?

Thanks...I simply want to learn Spanish badly, and I get impatient. LOL.

Can you please explain ( the easiest) how to use Pluperfect versus Preterite Perfect?????

When should one be used in a sentence?

Differences between PELO vs CABELLO / CONDUCIR vs MANEJAR

These words have the same meaning.  HAIR and TO DRIVE . Is there a rule when to use which?

Did you like Rosetta Stone for Spanish?

Hi,

I need your opinion on your Rosetta Stone experience. It is very expensive and I am not sure if it is worth the price. I have to learn Spanish fast. I wanted to use Rosetta in addition to my many other courses.

 

Also, do you have any tips on how to learn Spanish well. I am overwhelmed with all the verb conjugations and the uses of many different pronouns!!!

 

Muchas Gracias,
