Vocab & Use of the Language grammar assignment help

i have just started spanish in college and i was wondering if anyone’s willing to look over my assignment and possibly give me some pointers if it’s incorrect.

“Write a short descriptive paragraph about someone you know well provide information about where the person is from where he is right now the characteristics of his personality and how he is feeling right now.”
i wrote “Mi amigo, Brennan, es de New Orleans. Está en New Orleans. Es cariñoso, creative y gracioso. está sueño.”

is this good?

Hi u/sadboycult! This is one of the most common questions we get so we have locked this thread.

The honest answer: there is no best way to learn Spanish. Everyone is different -- what works for one person may not work for another. The only thing that consistently matters is showing up regularly and putting in the time. There is no shortcut, no magic app, and no method that skips the work.

What helps most people is finding resources and approaches that fit their life and that they will actually stick with. A few worth exploring:

  • r/languagelearning's resource wiki -- comprehensive breakdown of methods, tools, and approaches
  • Our wiki -- r/Spanish specific resources
  • Anki -- flashcard app, great for vocabulary
  • Language Transfer -- free audio course, popular with beginners
  • italki / Preply -- connect with tutors and conversation partners
  • Pimsleur -- audio focused, good for pronunciation

Be skeptical of anyone selling a magic method or promising fluency fast. Learning a language takes years of consistent effort. The good news is it gets more enjoyable the further along you get.

Looking for a tutor or want to offer your services? Use our the pinned Self Promotion / Finding Tutors megathread at the top of the subreddit instead of posting separately.

If you are moving to a Spanish-speaking country and have questions about the move itself, you will find more helpful advice in the subreddit for that specific country or city -- for example r/SpainExpats, r/mexicocity, r/Bogota, etc.

If you still have questions after checking those out, you are welcome to post again with something more specific. Questions about a particular grammar point, a word you keep getting wrong, a specific situation you are struggling with -- those are exactly what this community is here for. Generic "how do I learn Spanish" posts get locked because the answer is always the same and the resources above cover it better than any single thread could.
