Dominate Your Spanish Studies With These 11 Top Resources

What I like most about being a Spanish teacher in the modern world is the number of free resources available for studying. When I was learning languages as a kid, it was a constant struggle to get Spanish learning materials. 

The internet revolutionized language learning. Now, a language academy is not your only option. Instead, it’s possible to learn Spanish for free and in a fun way. Spanish immersion is possible from the comfort of your house.

Today, I want to show you how to learn Spanish fluently for free with diverse Spanish resources online. Keep reading to learn how to make your studies more effective and to manage your focus, time, and goals.

Take note of the following list of Spanish resources and dominate your language learning.

Diversify Your Spanish Resources

People tend to get easily bored if they’re presented with the same way of learning over and over again. 

It’s exciting when you discover new Spanish resources. Your brain almost instantly becomes more receptive. Students get better results when they’re happy and engaged. Yes, interest and excitement in learning matter, and you get it when you diversify your Spanish resources.

Playing a video game in Spanish can teach you more vocabulary than memorizing long vocabulary lists. Reading and watching movies in Spanish give you a sense of grammar structures and Spanish phrases. And listening to an audiobook or a podcast while driving or commuting helps you take advantage of every available moment. 

Spanish resources provide you with enough stimuli during your language learning process to learn almost at all times in an effective and engaging way.

11 Spanish Resources for Studying

Check out the following 11 Spanish resources for the best free ways to learn Spanish. Try them all, or choose the ones that resonate with you most. Each resource includes a link that provides details and more options to explore.

1. Good Textbooks  

Never underestimate a quality textbook. Many are on the market now with different approaches, so you’re bound to find something that suits your needs.

A good textbook gives you structure. The sequence of material usually has more logic than if you try to organize the learning by yourself. 

The best thing is to combine Spanish textbooks with other resources. Check out Top 10 Best Books to Learn Spanish for Adults for the best Spanish textbooks for self-study.

2. Spanish Learning Sites 

Tons of free Spanish language learning websites exist to support your learning and provide you with loads of useful Spanish resources. The good ones help you with all four areas of language acquisition: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Choose your favorite Spanish language learning site and save it to your favorites. Read an article a day instead of scrolling through social media. Consider signing up for a daily newsletter in Spanish to make your studies consistent.

Take a look at our comprehensive Homeschool Spanish Academy blog or check out this list of other free Spanish language learning websites.

3. Spanish Online Interactive Games 

Online interactive games are one of my favorite Spanish resources. They greatly supplement your learning and make you study without much effort. 

Online games increase your vocabulary range and help you advance faster and stay motivated. They help you with spelling, grammar, and even pronunciation.

Fiction and nonfiction books are also ideal Spanish resources for studying. Reading books not only teaches new vocabulary and grammar structures, but also solidifies what you already know.

10. Spanish Songs 

Music lovers know that learning Spanish through songs is a brilliant idea. You memorize vocabulary and phrases and work on your pronunciation at the same time. There are songs for every level and lyrics that teach you absolutely every single grammar topic.

Try the Lyrics Training app or simply download a bunch of Spanish songs to listen to. And see these blog posts for songs to improve your Spanish:

11. Spanish Movies and Series 

And last but not least of the Spanish resources that will diversify your learning: Spanish movies and shows. They combine learning and leisure. Let’s be honest, we watch them anyway, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

Watching movies and series in Spanish improves your comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary range. If you choose content from Spanish-speaking countries you can also learn about their culture at the same time.

Install a fabulous Chrome extension—Netflix learning app—to make your binge-watching linguistically effective.
