Set aside 30 minutes a day if not more; it would sustain interest and promote familiarity with the language on a daily basis. Having realized that early on as well as the necessity of will power, it dawned on me that the best way to motivate the daily learning of Spanish was to engage with others towards the same goal!

There is no perfect time to study; I have managed to study in the wee hours of the morning, late into the night. Scientists have also configured that one can learn languages in one's sleep. There are also methods for accelerated learning of languages through the practice of Yog Nidra.

It could take years to attain fluency in a language but not according to this. It really depends on you. In order to attain basic fluency with an active vocabulary of high frequency words of 4000 or more, it depends on how you intend to familiarize yourself with the language on a regular basis. There must be a host of reasons to constantly access your new language of choice ~ I make mine music, movies, cuisine and Latin people. You could create your own reasons. The possibilities are endless.

Weekends are off for bookish study or collaborating on forums but there is no stopping one from sampling or even indulging in Latin Cuisine, dancing Latin dances or listening to Latin Music on a lazy Saturday afternoon. You can think of it as an all out gustatory, terpsichorean and auditory Latin experience which would only serve to enhance your love for Spanish and introduce you to something novel.
