I work at a place where most people speak Spanish, and I want to be able to hold conversations with them. I've watched a couple of YouTube videos, but I haven't been able to retain the information. I need to write down flashcards and notes. I'm wondering, and I don't mind if it's proprietary, what is the best and fastest way to learn Spanish?

If we're talking about the best method, I wouldn't recommend Duolingo, and this is coming from someone with more than a decades worth of using it.

It's alright for slow casual learning, but fundamentally not good if you're looking to learn a lot fast.

If you’re going to criticize my suggestion you need to give a better one.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

No they don't. That's not how criticism works.

I don't, no.

I've given a suggestion in the thread, but I have no obligation on account of pitching in on the effectiveness of Duolingo.
