Websites to Help You Learn Spanish :

Congratulations on deciding to learn Spanish. It is a truly beautiful language and you should have fun as you explore its idiosyncrasies. Before we go any further do you want to learn how to speak Spanish or simply to write it? If you want to write there are many websites that can effortlessly translate your English text to Spanish without any need of you investing the time in learning a foreign language. If you're interested in being able to understand the language than you are at the right spot.

The web is littered with websites that profess to teach you different languages. At times it can seem a daunting task just reading through all these sites trying to decide where you want to spend your time.

One option is to invest in a Spanish instruction software course that comes with a member's only tutorial web-portal. I used Tell Me More and found it to be an excellent and comprehensive course. Another website that I really enjoyed was studyspanish.com. They take different approaches to teaching Spanish, but each has their own strengths.

Another option, is to use the translate feature in google. Find a news story, google the url and then select the "translate this page" option. This is often a good way of seeing how Spanish would look from an English perspective. A couple words of warning however, Google Translate is not infallible and should not be your only source of Spanish instruction and the article is written using English grammar rules which can differ from Spanish. You may also want to try the reverse, look up a Spanish news piece and translate it into English.

Another low-cost way of learning Spanish is to purchase a program which can convert text to speech. If it has multiple language packs (as most do) you can read a translated version of a website yourself, while the program reads to you in Spanish. Again this method isn't as good as dedicated instruction like Tell Me More, but it will let you use any website to learn Spanish.

I hope that this has helped, and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to provide you with a magic answer for you. But if you look around on the web, you will see that you literally have thousands of choices. One is bound to be right for you. Enjoy the journey and remember to have fun.
