Spanish Language Learning Links

 

Dear Fred,

I think Norma, Willard and Byron are all in possession of the following "link list."

Please keep in mind that since this list was formulated several years ago (and even then made use of older archived information), a number of these links may now be defunct or "under new management."

Even so, I think you will find lots of good stuff in this compilation.

Take a quick "clicky" survey to get a quick sense of which ones seem most attractive/usable.

Concerning the Wikipedia map of the Spanish-speaking world you sent...

I knew that Spanish was the official language of Equatorial Guinea, but I did not know about the other Spanish-speaking region just south of Morocco. Here's more information of Spanish Sahara: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Sahara

Thanks for bringing that info to my attention!

In this same Wikipedia article, I encourage y'all to read the section titled "Second Person Plural."

Paz contigo

Also I need to study common irregular verbs. Los sustantivos son faciles, pero Los verbos no son faciles.
