So I want to improve my spanish online. I did a bunch of google searches, but all I've found are some bad quality but expensive sites so any ideas?
http://www.spanishprograms.com/ http://www.studyspanish.com/tutorial.htm http://www.learnspanishtoday.com/ those sites had a few free lessons....
If you will pay I would suggest: Platiquemos. by the time you are done you should be able to speak Spanish. (It's not really online though.) Here is a site with the foreign service institute program that the above was based on: http://fsi-language-courses.com/ It's in the puiblic domain so people can update it. There is this site also, which is free: http://www.learner.org/resources/series75.html Thie site may be helpful also: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com
There are many online Spanish courses to choose from and anyone can learn Spanish online. Online colleges, universities and professional programs can coach people on anything these days. One can comfortably learn Spanish at home, in your office, or for that matter, anywhere, with the help of a private live online Spanish tutor at http://www.lejoslearning.com with a conversational spanish program.
For translation purpose, Spanish to English, I use - google.co.in/language_tools?hl=en Using this I learnt some basic spanish words.
Thank you for sharing so many good sites...I too encourage people to learn spanish..Learning spanish is not a difficult task now a days. Just visit http://www.lejoslearning.com,You can learn in lot of different ways and the best is to learn spanish online with the help of live spanish tutor.
