So, I have begun learning Spanish and it has been a few months now. I have decided to create this list of tasks I do to aid my learning progress for Spanish. This is completely personalised to me and everyone learns differently, share your methods with me!

Rosetta Stone

Rosetta Stone is a free app and is perfect for complete beginner users. It focuses on getting you speaking the language, rather than just learning vocabulary. I try to complete just one lesson a day as it really helps with pronunciation and its interface is just so beautiful. 

Memrise

I prefer to use Memrise to Duolingo when I am just beginning learning a language, as I personally prefer to just focus and learn loads of vocabulary. Memrise also has amazing courses which I feel are really engaging. I do use Duolingo aswell but I prefer it once I'm further in the language.

Squid

Squid is a news app but with a twist. You can choose whatever language you want to read the news in and select the topics you'd like to see! It is great to practice reading and comprehension.

Books

I have an amazing Spanish book made by Collins which I am using to help learn Spanish. But you don't need to buy one, your local library probably has loads and there are thousands of free resources online on blogs. Using a book is a great way to learn grammar and practice exercises.

YouTube

I don't feel like I need to explain this but there are thousands of language learning channels you can watch to learn. However, you can also watch YouTubers who are just speaking your target language and find films or TV shows on YouTube.
