But you'll still probably have trouble making sentences. If you exert too much pressure to have fluency to fast, you'll only slow yourself down. Just let your self take it slowly. You'll be more comfortable and relaxed with the language. It's also good to learn slowly is because people will have more patience with you if they know you're trying to learn their language. If you go too quickly you could make a mistake during a conversation and say something offensive.

Work on improving your "ear" for the language. Some languages have more of an oral-emphasized than written. You will still need to learn how to 'hear' a language as long as it's still alive. Knowing how to write the alphabet or how to write a correct sentence will only get you so far. Of course you'll still have to understand what is being spoken to you. The best results will come from listening to the language whenever possible. You will know you're on the right track when you can identify your language after hearing a few spoken words.

Become immersed in the language.

Is there a nearby place where Spanish is mainly spoken? A very good way to learn is listening to fluent speakers converse. People are usually more than willing to help others learn their language and communicate. It's convenient, close by, and you can receive really great practice speaking Spanish.

You don't need to needlessly stress over learning any new language, such as Spanish. The beginning may be a little rough, but in time it does get a lot better. Just keep working at it and trying new tips and tricks to help yourself and before long you'll be fluent!
