Mastering Spanish as a second language has many challenges. A very difficult part of learning Spanish is understanding how to conjugate any one of the hundreds of regular and irregular verbs in the correct tense. For instance, the regular verbs can be conjugated into any one of ten different tenses depending on which subject or reflexive pronouns are used in the sentence. The good news is that there is a set of rules for the subject and reflexive pronouns that allows you to conjugate each verb easily and correctly.

Subject pronouns are listed in the singular and plural forms. The singular subject pronouns are yo (I); tu (you); el, ella (he/she). The plural forms are listed as nosotros (we); ellos, ellas, Uds (they). After memorizing the singular and plural subject pronouns and understanding how they can be used to modify verbs, it's just a matter of time before you learn to read, write and speak Spanish fluently.

As a result of these rules, Spanish is actually considered one of the easiest languages to learn if you know where to get the right help. There are a lot of Spanish teaching software's available on the Internet today and choosing the wrong software can actually make learning Spanish a huge headache. If you take the time to identify how you learn and which software package is designed to be an asset to that learning style then learning Spanish can actually become a lot easier. Don't be fooled though, any particular Spanish software will not do. You need to take the time to do some research so that you get the software package that best suites your learning strengths. Each Spanish teaching software has it's strengths and weaknesses so it will be beneficial for you to take a closer look at each one.
