I can speak some basic spanish and I find that if I watch a show or commercial on the spanish channel, I can make out a little of it even though they’re speaking very fast. Can someone learn to speak Spanish well by watching spanish TV everyday in addition to learning out of a book? I find that the books focus almost exclusively on vocabulary and grammar, but nobody learns to speak their native language that way. Children don’t learn to speak by a bunch of grammar lessons, they learn by listening, and imitating what they hear. It seems to me that if you watched and listened to people speaking spanish on TV, over time, just like children, you would pick up a lot of it naturally?

What I did when I was studying Spanish was I would buy a DVD of a TV series that had options for dubbing and subtitles. I would watch the show in Spanish with English subtitles, then in Spanish with Spanish subtitiles and finally in Spanish with no subtitles. Eventually you can figure out the lines without the subtitles.
I also would listen to spanish music and download the lyrics and translate them. Then I would learn to sing the songs.

Yeah, you’re right. It takes immersion to learn the language. You can’t just sit down, watch TV and hope that “somehow” the language will ‘get itself’ into your head! Instead, you need to actually focus on the LANGUAGE not on the MOVIE.
You can try some great software apps that will help you learn Spanish in fastest way possible..I personally tried them and they worked. For example, take a look at this one:
You don’t definitely want to learn the language as a child as it takes 4 to 6 years =) There are much faster methods you can take like the one I mentioned.
Watching Spanish TV is good when you already know Spanish..it is a way of “testing” yourself to see how well you understand the world after you have taken your lessons and can be valuable tool.
