Learning Spanish In Spain Online & Before You Arrive

Should you be Learning Spanish before you arrive?

When it comes to learning Spanish, we think it is helpful to at least have your basic manners and counting under your belt before you arrive.  There are very few locals in town who speak English fluently, so do your best to speak the local language when you can.  Once you arrive, there will be local options for Spanish language classes, but the options below can be done before or after you arrive.

Here are the tools we have used and recommend.  Everyone has a different learning style, so that is why we are recommending a variety.  Learning Spanish can be fun at any age.

LEARNING THE SPANISH LANGUAGE

These are all tools you can use with your laptop outside, inside or using a mobile device as well.  You can study your Spanish anywhere!

Lengua Home

There is a local Almuñecar teacher who provides online Spanish Classes, so you can practice before you arrive, while you are here, and when you return.  Keep the learning going no matter where you are in the world!

Synergy Spanish

Synergy Spanish is our favorite to allow you to feel confident right from the start.  It helps you build an instant vocabulary using English words as your base.   There are certain rules which are easy to follow and before you know it, you have a good vocabulary.   For example if a work in English end with “tion”  (celebration, constitution, etc), when learning Spanish you will see the ending just changes to “ción” (celebración, constitución, etc).  It is amazing how fast you will learn Spanish!  Click on the image or link to learn more about Synergy Spanish Click Here!

Pimsleur

Pimsleur is also a great way to learn Spanish as well.  It all depends on your learning style and how dedicated you are.  Pimsleur follows the style of listening and repeating.  Each session is just 30 minutes and you will be amazed at how quickly you can pick it up.  Of course you can repeat any session until you are comfortable to move on.  Each session builds on the previous one, so don’t skip ahead.    This is very nice to just limit yourself to 30 minutes a day and see how much you learn.  Click here to learn more Pimsleur.com

FluentU

The cool thing about FluentU is the way they’ve arranged the “classes”.  If you want to learn in a passive way, there is audio for both words and their use in sentences.  Once you’ve learned the lesson, you presented with quizzes.  But they don’t feel like quizzes.   Learn more about FluentU Here!  FluentU is a new way to learn a language.  Read our review here!
