Learning Spanish is not only an attractive endeavour for those hoping to broaden their professional and personal opportunities. Speaking Spanish can also be an extremely valuable asset. As the second most widely spoken language in the world, Spanish has over 400 million speakers and is the native tongue in twenty different countries. The largest population of native Spanish speakers reside in Central and South America, but there’s also a large number of Spanish speakers, more than forty million, in the U.S. Spanish is also the second most widely spoken language in the United States; there are more Spanish speakers in America than live in Spain.

Traditionally, learning Spanish has involved in-person courses that are tied to Spanish workbooks. Rosetta Stone effectively takes that all online. Whether via laptop, desktop, smartphone, or tablet, you’ll be able to grow your knowledge of the Spanish language—including grammar and vocabulary—in a way that allows you to feel confident in everyday speaking situations.

Picking up some basics in Spanish come naturally for many beginners, especially those who speak a language like English, French, or Italian. These languages of the same family frequently share words that are cognates or have similarities because they are derived from the exact same mother tongue. This is why you’ll find English words like “gray” that sound remarkably similar in French (gris), Italian (grigio), and Spanish (gris). In addition to highly familiar-sounding words, you’ll find that Spanish also has a straightforward system of pronunciation, many fewer irregularities than most other languages, and an alphabet that’s quite similar to the English one.

Rosetta Stone understands that beginners need to learn Spanish in a natural context, building towards speaking Spanish phrases and gaining confidence with the pronunciation. That’s why our Spanish language software focuses on immersion-based learning methods that teach words alongside both visual and audio cues, helping newcomers learn basic conversational phrases in the context of true-to-life situations. Rosetta Stone’s award-winning mobile app allows you to practise virtually anywhere, syncs across all your devices, and offers downloadable lessons to enable your offline learning.

Focusing on pronunciation rather than vocabulary is the key to speaking Spanish with confidence. Often, new language learners may get distracted trying to master incredibly long lists of phrases or flashcards full of words, but find themselves virtually unable to understand or be understood in actual conversations. That’s why learning to pronounce and understand the most commonly used phrases in Spanish will go a long way towards helping you feel comfortable when engaging with locals.

Spanish does have some notable pronunciation distinctions that can make it a bit of a challenge for language learners. One of the most frequently discussed is the rolling of r’s, which is takes some practise to replicate. Spanish has a trilling or rolling sound made by pushing air with your tongue directly against the roof of your mouth. Some language experts encourage beginners to think about making the “tt” sound in the word bitter or hitter as the closest equivalent.

Getting the pronunciation just right is a snap with TruAccent, Rosetta Stone’s patented speech recognition technology. TruAccent instantly compares your voice to native and non-native speakers, so you get real-time feedback for the most accurate pronunciation. It’s also adjustable, which allows you to fine-tune your accent. Each lesson includes practical exercises that get you speaking Spanish and working on your pronunciation consistently.

Once beginners have learned the essentials that make up the building blocks of speaking Spanish, it’s natural to transition to much longer phrases that are the backbone of everyday conversations. Rosetta Stone’s 10-minute lessons are built in precisely this way, scaling naturally towards speaking with confidence by always structuring vocab acquisition in context with real, spoken situations. This approach broadens your command of Spanish and helps you focus on key tactics that can truly accelerate your understanding of the Spanish language.

Whether you’re just beginning to learn a few basics or looking to brush up on your Spanish language skills before you travel, there are many ways to learn to speak more confidently. Before you decide which one is the perfect fit for you, it makes sense to assess your commitments and schedule. While you can learn some basic Spanish by setting aside even 5 minutes each day, being confident enough to have conversations in Spanish may take longer. It all comes down to time you have to devote to studying and practising.
