Hi! I have been learning Spanish for a year now, by myself, with no teacher and no course. I managed to reach a confident B1 level.
I just want to share my experiences and look for people with a similar mindset.
In the beginning, I found myself in chaos: where to start, what to learn, and what I needed to speak confidently and understand the language. For me, what helped the most was making a list of everything I needed to know: tenses, grammar, and vocabulary.
After creating this outline, I stuck to it and did my research and work every day. First, present tense, then past tenses, and then future tense. After that, it clicked. I only needed to develop my vocabulary rapidly. I tried mobile apps with random words every day, Duolingo and others, but I still missed the structure and it was very slow. I often forgot the words after one use.
That is when I found this book: https://a.co/d/04ybBRsl
It made my learning much easier and faster.
(I know myself, and writing things down helps me remember better. I have a kind of visual-motor memory.)
It already had the topics and words collected, those most textbooks focus on. I didn’t have to research anymore, just translate, write, and reinforce them. I was just wondering if anybody else was looking for the same, you can find it on Amazon: https://a.co/d/04ybBRsl
Welcome :)
