Learn Fluent Spanish - Back To The Basics (Part 4)

The last of the four main basic abilities you need to learn fluent Spanish is the ability to speak. It is much easier to understand Spanish when spoken than it is to express yourself in Spanish. Why? Because it is less difficult to translate Spanish into English when you hear it compared to when you have to translate English into Spanish when you want to speak it. This is because there are Spanish words that we can recognize easily when hearing Spanish called "passive vocabulary" and there are Spanish words that we struggle to recall when speaking Spanish called "active vocabulary" but when heard we instantly remember them. You should aim to get more experience listening to and speaking real day-to-day Spanish. More exposure to Spanish, as it is spoken on the street, will improve your oral proficiency and make your spoken Spanish sound more natural and less like your Spanish textbook.
