Some of your questions we had received about Spanish Lessons Online

Andrew asks

Does any one know were to get free Spanish lessons online?

I am looking to learn a little Spanish online but I am not sure were to go can someone help please

administrator answers:

First why don´t you try our Spanish lessons online first you could sent us an e-mail and we can arrange it for you using SKYPE. However if you don´t like to use Skype you could try Spanish lessons online
I haven’t used it myself since I grew up learning Spanish, but my father in law seems to have found it quite useful. I know there is a subscription fee, but I believe they do still have free podcasts that you can download for no charge. The subscription just gives you access to several more.

I’m thinking about trying out one of the other languages they have, though.

Sandra asks

Do any of you know where to take Free Spanish lessons or Free practice lessons online?

administrator answers:

Nancy asks

Online free Spanish lessons WITHOUT sign-up?

I’m home schooled and I’m really keen on learning some foreign languages for fun, and since I am pretty fluent in school French I decided to learn Spanish or Italian. I’m not American and so no-one I know can teach me Spanish and it’s not offered anywhere. So I just want to learn basic/conversational Spanish online.

But all the sites I’ve gone to either require payment or they’re actual “lessons” which I’ll have to make time for, and which I can’t really use. So does anyone know a site that simply has free, online, in-browser, basic lessons in Spanish? (Or any other foreign language really-Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Tamil…)

Help please?

administrator answers:

I think first you should decide which language you want to learn. I have already listed some other sites in this post. Have a read the post please.

You could also try this one, they are plenty activities up to Year 9 however I am not quite sure in that site if they offer free Spanish lessons online.

Good luck!

  • to recognise and respond to sound patterns and words
  • to perform simple communicative tasks using simple words, phrases and short sentences
