Learn Spanish in Just 30 Minutes a Day – A Simple Plan for Busy Singaporeans

Learning Spanish doesn’t have to feel like a huge project. You don’t need to spend hours buried in grammar books — in fact, just 30 minutes a day is enough to make steady progress and start speaking with confidence.

If you’ve always wanted to learn Spanish but thought, “I don’t have time,” this guide is for you. Let’s build a short, fun, and realistic daily plan that even the busiest Singaporean can stick to.

Why 30 Minutes Works So Well

Think of it like going to the gym. It’s better to do short, regular workouts than one long session once in a while. The same goes for languages!

Spending just half an hour a day on Spanish helps you:
✅ Remember vocabulary longer
✅ Get used to the sounds of Spanish naturally
✅ Stay motivated without burning out

Your Daily 30-Minute Spanish Routine

🌟 Step 1: Vocabulary (10 minutes)

• Learn 5–10 useful words or phrases each day.

• Use apps like Quizlet or Anki.

• Stick to phrases you can actually use in daily life.

👉 Example: Instead of memorizing “mesa” (table), learn full phrases like “¿Dónde está mi mesa?” (Where is my table?) or “Una mesa para dos, por favor” (A table for two, please).

🎧 Step 2: Listening Practice (5 minutes)

• Play a short podcast like Coffee Break Spanish while commuting.

• Watch a quick YouTube clip with Spanish subtitles.

• Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything — just let the rhythm of the language sink in.

🗣️ Step 3: Speaking Out Loud (10 minutes)

• Repeat new words and phrases — say them like you mean them!

• Try recording yourself and comparing it with native speakers.

• Or, if you’re shy, talk to yourself in Spanish: “Hoy voy a comer arroz” (Today I’m going to eat rice).

💡 Bonus: Join a Spanish class in Singapore so you can actually practice with real people.

📖 Step 4: Quick Grammar or Reading (5 minutes)

• Look at one simple grammar point (like present tense verbs).

• Read a short text or even Spanish Instagram captions.

• Highlight new words and add them to your flashcards.

Your Weekly Boost

Pick one day a week for a longer session (1–2 hours):

• Watch a Spanish movie with subtitles 🍿

• Write a short journal entry in Spanish ✍️

• Or join our group classes at Spanish Studio for interactive practice.
