I really want to learn Spanish it's been a desire I've held on to for so long! Would you say moving to Miami is a good way to learn Spanish? Or is that just a stereotypical idea?

Not if you want to learn real Spanish. And I'm not talking about different accents (it's not Mexican vs Spanish vs Colombian), most people grew up speaking Spanglish and they can't speak Spanish properly or sometimes even write.

Yes. In the end people are from a Hispanic heritage, but they do live in the US. So they adapt to their environment which is mixed.

I think it’s a great idea. We have such a diverse Hispanic culture and you’ll definitely benefit from it. Yes the second generation immigrants may not know how to speak it correctly and write it correctly, but we have a large influx of Hispanics that come daily where Spanish is their native language so the opportunity to speak it and learn it is greater in Miami than I think most cities in the country. We have small cities within Mimi where Spanish is necessary in order to communicate. Anyway, short answer is yes. “Welcome to Miami”. lol

Haha thanks for the welcome. is the language spoken commonly, even if it's amongst the immigrants, in Miami? Like, can I hear it just by walking past some parts of the place?

Yes, in Miami we mix more than one language in the same conversation. But most people that are know are immigrants. Miami is a city of transplants. Nobody was born here. I recently found out that around 70% of the people speak spanish here. And I disagree that there is a “real spanish “.
I just wouldn’t move permanently to a city just to practice another language. Check if the lifestyle there is good for you first.

Speak for yourself, many of the spanish speakers ARE born there, to immigrant parent's maybe but just because they speak spanish doesn't make "nobody born here".

It’s really up to you. I have friends here that learned a lot and others that dont speak a single word and say “I should go to Spain to learn Spanish” as if in Miami people dont speak it

That's right :D

I’ve heard that she best way to learn a language (other than duolingo) is to date someone who is a native speaker in that language.

It is possible you could move to Miami and end up not learning the language.

Hahah this is a great plan but adds another step to something I've already been pushing for too long. I'll be single for a few years and go learn my Spanish pick-up lines like a good student.

OP…where do you live now?

Philly

I agree with Crreative 1. I mean you will definitely learn Spanish that way but likely not in a way where you would be able to read or write it properly. I would suggest starting with Duo Lingo and learning some there and then you could even take some classes or buy some books that will help you read and write it.
