Learn Spanish Level 1 Lesson 4

Here are some of my favourite free resources for learning Spanish. I’ll be posting reviews, tips and suggestions for each of them in future posts.

In July 2014, I posted a very detailed and in-depth description of how I learned (and continue to learn) Spanish using free resources.

 – learn Spanish through a cheesy telenovela from the early 90s.

 – find language partners, have your work corrected or find an affordable tutor

– beginner, intermediate and advanced podcasts for Spanish learners

– the gamification of Spanish learning – complete with lives, points, and levelling up

– magazine-style articles from the Spanish-speaking world, with audio and video

. (edited to correct broken link – March 2016) – free comprehensive program that’s great for improving automaticity

– 80-episode podcast for complete beginners

 – intelligent, friendly flashcards using spaced repetition – great for learning vocab

 – the BBC’s spanish language page

– a great place to find email buddies or Skype language partners

 – watch telenovelas in Spanish

– interactive video mystery for beginners to the language

– 13-episode sitcom for Spanish learners, in clear, simple language

– I’ve heard nothing but good things about this introductory Spanish course on YouTube (haven’t tried it myself, since it was released over a year into my Spanish journey)
