Start With The Basics

Learning any language begins begins with the fundamental steps.

Familiarize yourself with the Spanish alphabet, pronunciation, and basic grammar rules. Castilian Spanish is the official language of Spain and it consists of its own unique language characteristics, including the pronunciation of the letters "c" and "z" and the use of "vosotros" in addition to the familiar "tú", which means "you". In contrast to Castilian Spanish, South American Spanish makes use of "usted/ustedes" instead of "tú". In Castilian Spanish "tú" is used to speak to most people and "usted" is used in very formal situations, when in South American Spanish it is very rude to use "tú" instead of "usted" for a normal conversation.
