They are not only coming to Mexico for the beautiful weather and culture, some are arriving to learn Spanish. If you are planning on making Riviera Nayarit your very own home away from home, then it is recommended that you learn some Spanish. It doesn’t have to be major learning, but basic, because it will make life a bit easier for you when you are at your second home.

Your Riviera Nayarit Lifestyle and Learning Spanish

Depending on how much Spanish you would like to learn, there are different ways to help you perfect the art of speaking Spanish. Here is some recommendations for Riviera Nayarit learning Spanish tips.

Immerse Yourself In the Culture and Riviera Nayarit Lifestyle

One of the best ways to learn Spanish is to immerse yourself in the culture that is available in Riviera Nayarit. Leave your English speaking pals behind for one day, because this is where you know you will just be speaking English. You can immerse yourself with art galleries, volunteering at the library, volunteer with different charities, and taking a dance or yoga class that isn’t bilingual. You can even think about hiring a maid that doesn’t know much English, then she can help you learn Spanish too.

Forget about Being “Good at Languages”

One major problem that anyone faces when they are learning a new language is trying to be ‘good at languages’. You don’t have to be good, so forget about being ‘good at languages’. You don’t have to feel like a dunce if you happen to say the tenses wrong as this will often happen. If you would like to get the accent down, then listen to Speedy Gonzalez and you will hear the accent. When you are communicating in your own language you aren’t worried about the grammar or the accent and that is what you need to do when you are learning to speak Spanish. Express yourself, listen, and communicate to the best of your ability.
