This site is designed to help you learn and practice Spanish. Maybe you need a quick refresher on a grammar topic or want to learn something new. The videos primarily focus on grammar with a few extras thrown in for good measure. The style of the videos was inspired by Sal Kahn and his use of the Flipped Classroom for learning. ¡Suerte!

Play this game by listening carefully and filling in the missing song lyrics when the music pauses.
Lirica (app) - https://www.lirica.io/
Learn languages with the power of music!
Pandora.com / IHeartRadio.com
These programs are great because you can start out listening to one Spanish singer (or genre) and you will be exposed to other Spanish artists within the same genre​.
Kevin, Karla, y La Banda
These singers, in Chile, make Spanish covers of popular songs. You can also do a general search on YouTube to see if anyone has made a Spanish COVER of your favorite songs. It is most helpful if you can find one with the lyrics (LETRA) on the screen so you can see the words as you hear them.

Television & movies:
​
Netflix/Disney+
Every day, I listen to at least an HOUR of Spanish! Usually, it is an episode or two of a series I'm watching, but sometimes it is a movie. I can listen while I'm exercising, doing chores, or just relaxing. Every day, I'm expanding my vocabulary, improving my grammar, learning new idioms, and/or increasing my listening comprehension speed.
After you click on something you want to watch, go to the settings and switch to Spanish audio and/or Spanish subtitles.
