<p>How do I do this? I’m thinking that I just get a Spanish - English Dictionary and just translate. Is this stupid? Or is it the way that it’s supposed to be done? </p>
<p>I think if I translate like 100 pages of Spanish to English and vice-versa I’d pick up some good Vocab.</p>
<p>um. if you want to improve your spanish vocab there are two things out there for you. 1. READ. read spanish newspapers, books etc. if you find a word you dont know, look it up.
2. study the spanish vocab lists a spanish textbook.</p>
<p>If you know all your conjugations, you could do that, though keep in mind that there are a lot of idioms that can’t be translated literally. For that, you need to ask a native speaker or Google.</p>
<p>That’s definitely not how you do it lol. You actually need a native understanding of the language and know all the grammar in and out.</p>
<p>There are more efficient ways to learn a language.</p>
<p>1) Not the way to learn Spanish
2) Not the way to translate a book
Dictionary –> Literal translation –> Epic fail</p>
