You can learn vocabulary, but having the building blocks alone doesn't help you build the building. You need to learn how the building blocks work together.Looking up a word in a dictionary, and memorizing the first word listed really is not a good way to learn the vocabulary.Reading a book written in Spanish and watching movies in Spanish will get you where you want to go much more quickly. You'll then be looking up words in their syntactic structures (already conjugated, parts of speech in the correct order). You'll be able to ask questions here about grammar, but it's important to have something grammatically correct to begin with. Trying to translate word-for-word will fail. You need to translate phrase by phrase.For example:to try to study = tratar de estudiarI try to study = trato de estudiarto start to learn Spanish = empezar a aprender españolI started to learn Spanish = empecé a aprender españolHowever,I started to learn Spanish x months ago = hace x meses que estudio españolYou can see that you need to learn how phrases fit together, not just the solitary words.Building vocabulary is very important, don't get me wrong. But, learning how those blocks can be used is essential to communication.
