thevalerieleigh Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just talked with a friend NOB who is still working but would love to jump start her efforts to learn Spanish. As a full-time Mom and job, she's limited on time but asked me if I knew the best on-line Spanish language program. I do not, LOL! Hoping you can share some ideas and programs I can give her to learn Spanish before she comes to Mexico in the next year or so. As always, thanks!

barbn Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I absolutely love Synergy Spanish. I had learned some words but could not speak the language. Synergy Spanish got me started with speaking and gave me the confidence to try out my Spanish. After 5 years here, I'm now pretty fluent. www.synergyspanish.com. Click on the official site link, not the addressee, and you'll get some free lessons in exchange for your email addresss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Or you can buy the book "Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish" by Margarita Madrigal. It starts with pronunciation of letters in Spanish and then, the first few chapters are words that you already know just pronounced slightly differently or spelled slightly differently. It's a process and you will be able to make yourself understood long before you understand what is being said to you. Patience and a good ability to laugh at yourself are very helpful. My first words (other than please and thank you) were Por favor, puedes hablar mas despacio... please, can you speak more slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
