I use text books, listen to music, watch Spanish shows on Netflix with subtitles. But first you need to know the basics. Ex: starting from the Alphabet and be able to pronounce it the right way.
My native language is Spanish but my husband is South African. In his case conversation practice and movies in Spanish are the best help. He also used Duolingo for a while to gain some vocabulary until he started with online classes.
I gain more study and practice by speaking with people on the streets, making friends, and even using Spanish subtitles on English movies.
Well duo lingo is a great app. Also if you want to do that by yourself remember that you should spent 15 minutes a day on studying. Also it's better to start with grammar because vocabulary is words, grammar shows you the rules in writing and speaking. If you ever feel overwhelmed I will be more than happy to assist you.
Newspapers, Spanish speaking students who are studying Spanish. I have found the best way to learn anything is to teach the subject.
The best thing to do is always do what you like, so you can see learning as something fun and get used to it. I listen to Spanish songs, watch Spanish videos series, movies, etc.
I would use podcast, grammar books, Netflix and songs. You can find very useful materiales in the web (Pinterest, YouTube). Remember that the most importante thing is to practise everyday...no matter how much time...just a little bit every single day.
First of all (if I'm not in any spanish-speaking country) I would try to learn the basics, there's a lot of online tools and resources, and in the meantime it would be essential to listen to some music, read some books and watch some films o tv series, even if you don't understand them. Little by little, you are going to catch some words and structures. Un saludo!
I read books I use Duolingo I listen to music I watch tv There are lots of Spanish print and auditory resources available.
