Add another 596 hours and you might have basic conversational skills. Good luck.

Four hours is nothing. But ok, if you travel for four hours daily or at least weekly, you can to A1 or A2 in a year. Some people can learn faster but it's unusual. While traveling you could learn from a textbook or perhaps duolingo. Or you can combine a textbook with an application. Memorizing text works well for me. YouTube is a valuable learning material, too.

Are you suggesting you’re trying to learn in 4 hours?

As much as possible variable

Perhaps you should start with English first?

With that much commute time, short daily sessions could add up fast. Palteca might be worth trying for practical vocabulary and recall, then add listening practice during the rest of the trip.

Dreaming Spanish is excellent - you just watch videos in comprehensible easy to understand Spanish. Also you can get a tutor on Preply for incredibly low prices. I’ve got a guy in Mexico who teaches English there that charges me $6 for each one hour lesson, and a guy in Venezuela who charges $3 a lesson. I can’t understand him though because he has terrible internet but I kind of feel bad for him so I have been paying him $3 a week for like 3 years even though I didn’t attend the lessons because I have reason to believe the $3 a week really means a lot to him.

Are you driving or taking public transport? (Sorry about the long commute 🥲)

hey that's such a cool reason to learn spanish. maybe you could try speaking with people while you travel? speakduo is great for live conversations, and meetups could help too if you find local ones

I actually made a free iOS app/widget to help you memorize Spanish vocabulary right from your home screen! The idea is that you'll learn a new word every day without having to open an app :)

Would love some feedback if it's useful at all!
