How to Say Far in Spanish

There are two options for saying the word “far” in Spanish. If you’re using it as an adverb— far in distance—you would use “lejos.” Here’s an example: “¿Qué tan lejos estamos de la Ciudad de México?” means “How far is it to Mexico City?” If you’re using it as an adjective—meaning something is far away—you would use “lejano.” An example is: “China está en el Lejano Oriente.” or, “China is in the far East.”

Although Spanish can seem complicated at the start, remember that you don’t have to tackle it all at once. Even with a word like “far,” which can be used as different parts of speech, getting a handle on the basic “lejos” should allow you to communicate in most circumstances. As you progress on your learning journey, you can slowly incorporate other words with more nuanced meanings.

Rosetta Stone’s Dynamic Immersion® methodology teaches you the language, not just the words. What makes it so effective is that we prepare you to use your new language in your everyday life. So it’s not just about the features, but what you’re able to do because of them. That way, you’ll be ready to handle any situation with ease and confidence.

How Rosetta Stone Can Help

Learning a language can be an experience that transforms your life. Not only does it open you to a world full of both professional and personal possibilities, but it also expands your thinking and can prime your confidence. As technology shrinks our world and we become members of a global community, the ability to learn a language becomes an essential part of how we interact and succeed.

Perhaps you’ve hesitated to learn a new language because you’re worried about the time commitment. Or maybe you’ve heard it’s more difficult to learn a language as an adult. Set these common misconceptions about learning languages aside, because research suggests that your ability to learn a language is mostly a matter of practise—building confidence through speaking and contextualising your learning.

After you decide on which language to learn and begin to pick up the basics, developing accurate pronunciation depends on getting immediate feedback. Rosetta Stone helps you get the pronunciation right in a snap with our patented TruAccent™ speech engine, which instantly compares your voice to native and non-native speakers, so you get real-time feedback for the most accurate pronunciation. This feedback will help you to make needed corrections to your pronunciation. Then you can practise until your mouth is able to readily shape the sounds that make up the language. It’s also adjustable, which allows you to fine-tune your accent. TruAccent is among the most powerful tools for helping you learn and speak virtually any language.

After beginners have acquired basic words, short phrases, and their proper pronunciation, it will be a natural transition to learn the longer phrases that make up so much of everyday conversation. Rosetta Stone’s brief, 10-minute lessons are built in exactly this way, teaching the basics first, then moving onto longer phrases. This approach helps you acquire the skills to understand and be understood with confidence.
