It takes time and determination to improve your Spanish fluency, but that doesn't mean you should stick to one method of learning and give up when things get tough. Learning a new language takes time, so have fun while you're at it!
One way you could immerse yourself and improve your fluency in Spanish is by watching shows. With this method, you can improve your listening skills at the same time learn how different phrases are used. Not only that but your ears will be exposed to the differences in Spanish accents because there is no such thing as one Spanish accent.
