Welcome to the New Year! This is the year of DECISION 2012.

If you haven’t yet decided to make 2012 an amazing year for Spanish learning, then here’s something to think about.

What’s the difference between speaking fluent Spanish and knowing a few words?

A decision. A decision to become fluent.

Yes you’re right – it won’t magically turn you fluent. But nobody speaks great Spanish by accident either. Nobody gets fluent by twiddling their thumbs and hoping “Maybe, I think, I’d like to try it..but I don’t know.”

They decide to become fluent. Then they do it. They rampage through dictionaries, workbooks, audio lessons and any other material they can find. They speak and read and write and make mistakes, and make mistakes, and then some MORE mistakes. The world isn’t important until they’re done.

Then they get fluent. Best decision ever made.

You’re learning Spanish… So make the decision for 2012.
