Just learning in institutes isn't enough; you need to connect with the Spanish speaking surrounding. Do it for six months, and you will see the difference.

Personalised training for your needs.

Why would you want to in the first place? That's like saying, why can't I talk like Americans or Europeans if I am learning English since I was in school. So keep your learning journey on, and don't fret over the small things.

Priya, you have to be patient with the language, to speak like them. You have to invest more time speaking Spanish.To be a good speaker, first, you have to be a good listener. So listen to them as much as possible.

It might be because you have been learning from Indians or probably you have not been practising much with natives. The only way to improve language is by speaking it with natives.

The idea is how you learn. The number of years and hours you put into it doesn't matter. The way you know it makes a difference. First, I'd suggest you go for passive learning, listen to conversations and music as much as possible, as without knowing the culture of a language, you will never be a native...

The idea is how you learn. The number of years and hours you put into it doesn't matter. The way you know it makes a difference. First, I'd suggest you go for passive learning, listen to conversations and music as much as possible, as without knowing the culture of a language, you will never be a native to it. Secondly, while you talk, even be it a piece of one lined information, have your phone next to you to record. Play it as soon as you're done. If you sound different to a native, keep improvising as long as you're happy with your sounds. Choose one accent, don't go with Spanish and south / Latin American accent, fix one and go for it.Ultimately, even a C2 in Spanish or any language is called a near-native as a native. One needs to live in the country to be one with the language. As Charlemagne said, " to have another language is to possess a second soul."Don't try to learn a language; try to acquire it. I hope this helps! read less

Have you tried watching Spanish movies or YouTube videos? You can also use different platforms to make native Spanish friends and talk to them. Unless you speak Spanish, you won't improve it.
