I don't think Spanish is a hard language at all. It's one of the easiest languages to learn in the world. Its grammar is dead simple with almost no exceptions, it has a very simple pronunciation and a phonetic spelling. Anyone can learn Spanish in a couple of months (:

Muchas gracias por su excelente artículo.

I think so, that is the reason I wanted to include it in the "top ten"s list. Actually, these steps can be adapted to learn any other language. However, I wrote them based on the specific difficulties that the Spanish language has. I hope it helps you or motivates you to continue stusying languages.

I don't study Spanish but i see that this topic have a lot of common way to learn english too. I like tenth tip. It is the tip i have never seen before and give a new option about learning a new language.

I learn Spanish by myself 10 years ago. I could use only books but Spanish was so interesting and easy language that I could learn without teachers, internet or native speakers. 

I like Spanish.
