o LingQ
While this website supports more than just the Spanish language you can benefit from this online community. The premise is that you need to be exposed to the language ‘all the time’ to effectively learn it. We agree as this is right in line with the theory of a ‘good learner’.
Physical Learning Style
We expect that this area will have some possible information but online this is a difficult task to accomplish. If you learn from a physical style you learn through using your body and sense of touch to learn about the world around you. In cyberspace this could prove to be a challenge but if you know of an online site where this is possible, do share, but keep it PG.
Aural Learning Style
If you like to learn with sound and music then check out our video section. New Spanish lyrics are being posted daily. We have also compiled a list of other websites that focus on the auditory aspect of learning.

If you would like to take a logical approach to you learning you can recognize patterns easily, as well as connections between seemingly meaningless content.
This website is completely in Spanish and in our opinion not for newbie’s; however; there are many useful exercises, songs, dictionaries, grammar, verbs, vocabulary and much more. Spend some time on this site if you are looking to brush up your reading and test taking skills.
