multilingual people come

what is the best way to learn another language? i want to start to learn how to speak spanish eventually and i have no idea how to start

learn basic grammar then start immersing, aim for 2 hours a day of immersion if you really want to improve quickly. playing games in your target language always helps and listening to podcasts, watching youtube videos, movies in target language etc.

thanks!

no problem, just remember it isnt a sprint, its a marathon. It could take a very long time before understanding even 50% of the sentences but it is incredibly rewarding when you can. Good luck bro

Learn Portuguese, and as a bonus you will know 90% of Spanish and 75% of Italian 😊

understanding what they are saying is the first step
then you can start with engaging in conversation with small talk
don't try to rush it, you'll start to hate the language.

forget books, start to listening(a lot) as @dococtavius said.

Change ur phone to the language u want to learn and rewatch shows u like with subtitles in spanish

Actually, French is the third closest language to Portuguese, trailing only behind Spanish and Italian. all 4 languages are derived from Latin

Atleast for me, french is really hard to understand, the pronunciation is really different

this, once you get the ball rolling it will only get easier from there
and if youre really serious about it, think about interacting with spanish speaking communities and consuming all the media in spanish!

Duolingo is pretty good if you are not in a hurry

Play your fav games in a different language.

go to a country that speaks the language

it helps to practice speaking the language with someone that knows it as well

I guess You can find the basics in school material, like vocabulary and grammar rules, then start gradually immersing with small things like subtitles in movies or the language of your phone.

Also remember that people speak very different depending on where are they from. Spanish from Spain is WAY different than Spanish from Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, etc.

1. choose a language you are familiar with
   ex) its a lot easy to learn spanish from english than from korean
   never choose chinese, it is way too hard
2. duolingo is actually not that bad trust me
3. watch videos in that language

Try to learn the basics (grammars, alphabets, and phonetics) and immerse yourself in that language as much as possible, through various different sources of media.

Most effective for me is to THINK in the language that I'm trying to learn. It just helps you to be able to respond faster making interactions with natives a little less cumbersome and nerve-wracking

i know 3 and i learnt them all within the age of 6 so... idk either

the only thing i know is you have to know the basic grammar first and thereon just put yourself in a position to use that language a lot

there's no way

beyond all of the advices here (most of them really useful)
you should have a real reason to learn this language, then you can get good results in it
