You’ve committed to visiting your timeshare in Mexico every year. You’re excited about your yearly beach vacations and how much fun you will have. But, as you start thinking about coming to this beautiful paradise, you may realize, you’re going to need to learn Spanish.
Don’t be frightened; learning a new language isn’t as hard as it seems. Plus, once you start practicing and trying to use what you learned while in Puerto Vallarta, you’ll find how understanding and welcoming people will be.
These following tips will help you to learn Spanish quickly:
- Don’t be shy. Okay, that is easier said than done, but holding back from trying is what will keep you from becoming fluent. Realize that you will fumble with words and say the wrong things, but people will be extremely happy to help you learn and won’t make fun of you. Mexicans highly encourage foreigners in learning Spanish, so don’t be shy and go ahead and try.
- Take classes while in Puerto Vallarta. Yes, your vacation is a time to sit back and relax, but an hour of class-even just once a week-can provide you with the basic you need to learn. Plus, you’ll most likely get to know more about the culture and learn a lot about the city. Also, language classes don’t cost that much, so you can be sure to save and learn from a native while you’re at it.
- Download a language app. There are plenty of apps that you can download on your phone that will provide you with a way to practice while you’re not in the country. They can also help you to learn the basics while in Puerto Vallarta, so you can get around much easier. You’d be surprised how easy it is to learn with a bit of practice.
- Talk with people. Practice makes perfect and the only way that you are going to practice is if you are talking to people. While many Mexicans speak English, they like foreigners to try speaking Spanish, so you can rest assured that they will be patient with you. Keep talking, even if you feel like you’re messing up. With practice, you’ll soon become fluent. Also, learning Spanish while talking to people is a great way to have a better and more native accent.
Take advantage of your timeshare investment in Puerto Vallarta and learn a new language. You’ll never know when and where you can use Spanish in your everyday life, so give it a try. Most of all, enjoy your stay in your Puerto Vallarta timeshare.
