I don't know your age but as we get older things are harder to pick up and understand, Mags has given some good advice about listening and watching  channel 7 on the tv it gives lots of information about the area also the news.

As Mags said she learned the language in the 80s so maybe we are talking about 30 years ago when she herself would have been much younger with a more agile mind.

Just try and keep at it there are many in your situation, and I do not know why the adverse comment about ordering a beer was posted when you were asking for help.

Any tips on learning Spanish. Someone suggested YouTube Spanish with Paul. I tried that but finding it too difficult, probably because I'm not good at picking up languages. Any suggestions welcome, what worked for you?

...n a sentence and just throw in one or two Spanish words. As you go through the weeks, like on the 12 week, learn 7 new words. I have found this the best way to learn. Also when you are in cafe, have your translate google on, and write your order and  listen, learn and repeat to waiter's. Before you know it, 12 months later you will be learning 30 new words per week. Have ago 🌞

No amount of online learning is a substitute for actually speaking to Spanish people. There are small group classes and conversation intercambio groups around Los Alcazares...doesnt matter how little you know there will be some Spanish learners really keen to practice their English!
