Re: Learning/retaining Spanish
[ QUOTE ]
I always hear this about watching Spanish language TV to learn the language, and I guess intuitively this makes sense because it's basically how we learn our native language in the first place. Having people speak at you and around you until you start understanding.
Although I haven't spent a lot of time on this I've tried this before and I never seem to be able to pick up on ANYTHING even with context, mostly because they speak way too fast and I just don't understand how, without speaking it to other people how this would work.

As an adult, you really need some basic grounding in the language first. Immersive classes plus homework outside class are IMHO the best way to get this.
Then you can progress/keep up, by watching the telenovas, etc.
