Keep in mind to have some patience. It will take longer than 24 hours to become fluent in Spanish. Even if you have total recall and can remember your conjugated verbs and vocabulary, you may still have difficulty with sentences, etc. If you exert too much pressure to have fluency to fast, you'll only slow yourself down. Instead let yourself learn slowly. If you do this you'll find you're more comfortable with Spanish. If you learn at a slower pace, when you're trying to speak with people in their language they'll show more patience toward you. If you talk like you're completely fluent, and you aren't, you could easily offend someone.

Work on improving your “ear” for the language. Many languages are more oral-based than written. You will still need to learn how to 'hear' a language as long as it's still alive. Knowing how to write the alphabet or how to write a correct sentence will only get you so far. Naturally, you'll want to be able to understand other people when they speak to you. The best approach is to listen to the language as much as you can. You will know you're on the right track when you can identify your language after hearing a few spoken words.

Keep in mind that perfection comes from practice. Be sure to always talk in your language as often as you can, and don't be concerned about how it looks, or sounds. Another tip is to replace the words in your language with the words you know from the language you're learning. So if your new language is Spanish, then just try to use “cena” instead of “dinner” and in place of “one” use “uno.” The words will feel like second nature to you, in time. You'll know and understand the new words when you hear them used. You'll be amazed at your ability to understand your new language when you hear it spoken. Learning how to speak Spanish, or any language, doesn't need to be an experience in frustration. It's so easy to find hints and tools to help you with the learning. You can help yourself learn any language, including Spanish, by having an open mind to it. You'll soak-up the information a lot easier if your mind is open to it. The more you try to make the language sound like your native tongue, the harder you will make things for yourself.
