      Learn the conjugation rules for commonly used irregular verbs. Having learned to conjugate regular verbs, move on to irregular ones. These verbs are called irregular because their conjugation pattern differs from that of regular verbs. The reasons for this lie in the history of the Spanish language itself, and it will not be easy to explain them. Some of the most common verbs, including ser (to be), estar (to be), ir (to go), haber (to have), are just plain wrong. Just memorize the forms of these verbs.

      Learn the features of the genus category. In Spanish, as in Russian, all nouns have a gender. There are only two of them: male and female. At the same time, by ear or by spelling it is impossible to determine with certainty what gender the word belongs to, therefore the gender of nouns must be learned by heart along with the words themselves.

      Learn the rules for using certain and not definite article. There are no articles in Russian. English has one definite article (the) and three indefinite articles (a/an/some). There are eight articles in Spanish: four definite and the same number of indefinite ones. The use of this or that article depends on the gender and number of the noun.

      • For example, talking about a cat ( singular, masculine), you need to use the definite article "el" - "el gato". Speaking of cats plural, masculine), you should use the definite article "los" - "los gatos".

      • four forms indefinite article are used in a similar way. "Un" - masculine, singular; "unos" - masculine, plural; "una" - feminine, singular; "unas" is feminine, plural.

      2. Try signing up for a course. If you need extra motivation or feel like you'd do better in a more formal setting, enroll in a language school.

         • Look for language schools or courses at local educational institutions.
         • If you are afraid or embarrassed to go to a course alone, ask a friend to sign up with you. This will make it easier and more fun.

         • Remember that each country has its own accent, its own slang, and even words sometimes differ in meaning. In Chile, for example, they speak quite differently than in Mexico, Spain or Argentina.

      6. Don't give up! If you are serious, then the pleasure of mastering a second language will cover all the difficulties. Learning a language is difficult and time-consuming, and it is impossible to fully master it in a day.

Remember that the position of a sound in a word determines how it sounds (for example, "b" and "d" are pronounced differently at the beginning and in the middle of a word). If you have a good ear, paying enough attention to pronunciation can smooth out the accent.
      • Try to find a friend whose native language is Spanish. It will help you understand the intricacies of the language, which are not written in textbooks.
      • To improve your pronunciation as much as possible, sing songs in Spanish. Give preference to songs performed by native speakers. At the same time, do not try to understand the meaning - try to pronounce the words exactly as the singer does. One example of such a song is "Amor Del Bueno" by Caliber 50. If you want, you can find the lyrics and its translation later, focus on the pronunciation first.
      • Complex sentences can be made from simple sentences. For example, "I'm hungry" and "I'm hungry" can be turned into "I want to eat something because I'm hungry."

      • Try to write down new words and make sentences with them. If you recognize a word, use it!
