half Puerto Rican,14, and trying to learn spanish !?
when I was younger my mom tried to teach me spanish but i just wouldn't listen. i wish i listened to my mom when she tried to teach me. now i understand most things and can translate it. i ask my mom to teach me and she tries but always forgets because she's used to speaking english to me. she says the only reason spanish people speak to me like i know spanish is because i speak it so perfectly like a native that they assume i know the language. so im thinking about buying a spanish-english dictionary to learn words i dont know and build my spanish vocabulary. then i want to just learn in sentences. basically, i need help on how to speak spanish more fluently.
i do watch tv in spanish ! my mom could only put me to sleep as a toddler if telemundo was on. haha. but thats a good idea !
sarahc, i checked off spanish for my application today ! my sister went to the high school im going to and learned nothing in spanish because the teacher isn't even spanish and doesn't know. i also have spanish this semester and it's helping me a little bit with the grammar and usage and explaining why it's said that way.
alexx, i love spanish music ! i failed to mention that i can sing in spanish. i didn't think yous would care. haha. it does help me a lottt. and ill be sure to listen to him ! i listen to elvis crespo, jennifer lopez, shakira, juan gabriel in spanish also.
Watch TV, read books, listen music, everything everything in spanish. And the most important thing: don't be shy, trust yourself.

Currently learning my 3rd language..
Have you ever considered taking Spanish as a course in high school? That would definitely help with your vocabulary and just speaking it better in general. I took six years of Spanish in school and I know the language enough to get by, and I'm not even of Hispanic decent at all, so I'm sure you would excel and become more than fluent with a little help.

the best way to learn is to listen 2 music in spanish. i would recommend spanish rock because the word are spoken with more clarity. and since its music you will tie the words with the tunes so you'll learn it a lot faster. if u want to expand your vocab in spanish listen to the slow stuff, like alejandro sanz.
