PART 1

Start with Anki. Start with Spanish to English for first 200-300 words. Then start English to Spanish. Always trail ahead with Spanish to English.

1. Download the paid app if IOS because other free anki apps don't allow sync
   1. If android the ankidroid app is perfect and free
   2. If IOS you can use web version as well and get app later. Just go this page and select your deck and it'll work.

2. First 500 words

   2. Default is 20 words per day but I'd reccomend 50. Sounds like a lot at first but you'll get the hang of it after a week or two. Takes 1 hour at first but will be 40 minutes after some time.
   3. Do every day religiously
   4. Also let the Spanish to English deck lead English to Spanish. Like you'd be ahead 1-2 weeks in the spanish to English deck. English to spanish is like speaking while the other is like reading. Speaking is harder. So first deck just practice recognizing so when you get the same word in English to Spanish deck you'd already have seen it several times.
3. Then get to 2000ish words while starting other content.
   1. Link above has second deck with 5000 words. I'm at 2000ish now and noticing a decline in usefulness where my time now is better spent on Comprehensible Input since I have a decent vocab foundation.

After a couple hundred words start audio course of Michael Thomas and or Language Transfer.

Listen to first 10 episodes of Michael Thomas method. Makes great overview/crash course of Spanish. Can feel overwhelming at first but don't expect to remember it all right away.

Only issue with MT is not enough hours of repetition content to ingrain the lessons. That's what pimsleur is great for.

Alternative to MT is language transfer which is great. I'd say do both. Once you're half way through MT move on to the start of language transfer.

Pimsleur

Great for repetition and practice but honestly pretty boring and doesn't translate well into understanding locals. But that's just part of the journey. Also missing a written part so I highly suggest finding verb tables that spell things out when you cover new conjugation forms. I'd actually say find youtube videos that covers each conjugation form once you get to past and future tense.
