1
If you have been learning Spanish solo, you know that it is overwhelming to see how many resources are out there to learn.
Si vous avez appris l'espagnol en solo, vous savez à quel point il est déconcertant de voir le nombre de ressources disponibles pour apprendre cette langue.
2
In this video, I'm going to give you not an exhaustive list, but a list of my absolute favorite resources that I used.
3
I will also be able to give you sample study plans from A1 all the way up to C2.
4
The first thing to have in mind is that I always, whenever self -studying, use a base resource.
5
And a base resource is one resource, one program, or one book, one course that you are learning Spanish from in a more structured way.
6
These usually contain the biggest amount of content.
7
And I love to use this as a point in how to structure my learning in the first place, because sometimes I don't know,
8
you know, what grammar concept or what kind of vocabulary list I should, or is most helpful for me to learn at a certain level,
9
if you know what I mean.
10
So the best base resources that I've found for my journey are University of Texas at Austin Spanish proficiency exercises.
11
Now all skills you can work on with them except for speaking.
12
They cover the full CFR range of A1 to C2, all with structured tasks.
13
So beginning, intermediate, advanced, superior, each including grammar exercises, video interviews, reading, vocabulary, as well as cast episodes.
14
I did also really enjoy using this as I was preparing to take the DELE C1 exam.
15
It was a great review for more advanced vocabulary concepts, but also filling in some gaps that I needed to do from B1 grammar and up.
16
Also, this is all free, by the way.
17
Profe de Ele also offers a lot of resources, even on its free tier.
18
So you have a lot of level segmented content aligned with the CEFR A1 to C2 levels.
19
This includes songs, podcasts, lectures, videos, quizzes on vocabulary, on grammar, and on culture.
20
I found this works best for getting a lot of varied media outside of your base resource.
21
Any sorts of open source courses are great on either Coursera or edx .org.
22
If you want to use any of these courses as a base resource, they have a lot of very beginner courses.
23
So even if you're starting from absolute zero in Spanish, highly recommend you hop on this website and see what's available.
24
Now, some of my favorite Spanish learning apps are Busuu on the free tier.
25
It offers a lot of structured lessons, again, from A1 all the way to C1, including grammar, writing, and speaking prompts, a vocabulary.
26
There's also a community sort of corrections forum where you can get feedback on what you wrote.
27
Again, not a lot of speaking opportunity, especially if you are on their free tier,
28
but I still found it a very useful resource to keep on honing my other skills.
29
Memrise is a great vocabulary app that uses a lot of visual mnemonics, spaced repetition, as well as audio recordings from native speakers.
30
There are also decks that are made from different community members that you can then take for personal use,
31
and you can either test reading practice and or listening practice.
32
So listening just to the audio and then picking out the word that you heard,
33
either writing it in or picking one of four options for multiple choice.
34
The BeLingua app is great if you love comprehensible input for learning.
35
You're essentially reading dual language text side by side
36
and the program does highlight for you where you are in a text with excellent audio playback.
37
Another thing I love to do is download slides from Lingoda.
38
If I don't want to take classes and I just want to see what they have as their curriculum,
39
I find that everything is really well structured.
40
Again, according to levels, A1 all the way up to either C1 or C2.
41
And I found
42
that this is just a really good supplement for getting material to practice vocabulary under a certain category
43
and or review a certain grammar concept
44
and have it explained in a slightly different way than in my other materials
45
and also have to solidify these concepts even more now the best spanish dictionaries as well as conjugation websites
46
that i have found reverso context you can get
47
so many phrases for free with just one word i also love spanish dict
48
which also has a lot of great example phrases for the word that you're looking up as well as great pronunciation pointers.
49
I also enjoy lingua tools .de.
50
Now this is what is called a collocation dictionary, and it's essentially helping you see your one word and pairing it with another word.
51
So you can learn both words in context.
52
Cooljugator and CoolGamos are some of the best websites that I've seen that not only let you practice conjugating verbs in Spanish,
53
but also let you see all of the verb tenses and how they're conjugated in one place.
54
Especially if you feel overwhelmed with the Spanish verbs.
55
These are both really great reference points.
56
YouTube channels that I recommend for complete beginners are first
57
Butterfly Spanish with Ana Guardia.
58
She has more of a focus on Mexican Spanish, but does offer comprehensive lessons in pronunciation,
59
vocabulary, phrases, and she does throw in some cultural tips explaining in both Spanish and English.
60
As a visual learner myself, I did find her content very easy to follow, especially because she likes to incorporate whiteboard usage and other visuals.
61
Super Holly is great for anyone from A2 and up, especially learning some of the slang that you would never learn probably in a Spanish classroom.
62
That's all I'm going to say about that, but she was honestly one of my favorite creators that I found
63
when I was really in the thick of my solo Spanish journey.
64
Español con Juan is a great channel
65
that uses a lot of comedy totally in Spanish in order for you to learn with more fun.
66
Juan has a lot of great skits and role plays that even for A1 or A2 learners,
67
they can pick up on what he is saying by all of the actions that he's doing in the video.
68
So especially when I didn't want anyone explaining to me in English what I needed to know, even though I was between A1 and A2,
69
it felt empowering for me to consume Juan's content because it was all in Spanish, but he was still speaking clearly and slowly enough,
70
what would a resource video be without mentioning easy Spanish?
71
Essentially, these are street interviews in Spain and in Latin America,
72
and the creators really want to curate a listening environment where the listeners can have authentic real -life Spanish spoken to them.
73
The native speakers that are interviewed give totally unscripted answers,
74
and there is also a segment of super easy Spanish where even if you are at a A1,
75
you can start using their immersive content from the beginning.
76
Why Not Spanish is more of a Colombia -based YouTube channel with bilingual hosts.
77
They do a lot of entertaining videos in both Spanish with a little bit of English support,
78
and a lot of their focus is on daily life, cultural notes, Spanish that you would need while you are traveling, as well as grammar usage.
79
Let's Speak Spanish features a group of instructors based in Spain, and I do like that the playlists are really ordered so
80
that you do if you want to have a systematic progression of how you consume their content.
81
Spanish and Go is more of a Puerto Rico, Mexico centered travel vlog style YouTube channel.
82
So you get a lot of bilingual vlogs on culture or travel.
83
There's a lot of practical dialogues with visual context
84
and you can really get a lot of good immersive everyday Spanish by following this channel.
85
Practiquemos by Catalina has Spanish only videos which focus more on grammar.
86
So you can really hone any sort of mistakes you keep on making or just to learn new concepts with accentuation,
87
common errors, and she gives really clear explanations with all of this.
88
Linguariosa with Elena is kind of a step above the previous channel mentioned.
89
She really concentrates on advanced linguistic insight and does even more deep dives into Spanish grammar, etymology, anglicisms, variation across dialects,
90
all in pure Spanish as well.
91
And now some podcast recommendations for the very beginners i usually recommend coffee break spanish
92
which provide simple sort of bilingual lessons so there is spanish
93
and english used they're really short about 15 minutes or less
94
and you get a lot of cool dialogue
95
which covers some grammar a little bit of pronunciation etc simple
96
stories in spanish contain short slow -paced stories narrated with vocabulary intros
97
and they're very ideal especially for a2 listeners 15 minute spanish for your job features more workplace themed scenarios.
98
So small talk, talking about travel, ordering coffee, all coming with clear explanations,
99
especially if you have limited time and or you just simply want to refresh beginner Spanish for a trip,
100
then this is a great little podcast for that.
101
Spanish lessons with Pablo are more conversational lessons.
102
They are longer and they're aimed more at new learners just with building basic grammar and vocab foundations.
103
Daily Easy Spanish offers news read to listeners in slow Spanish and often with English explanations for more A2B1 listeners.
104
I also enjoy story learning Spanish.
105
So these are story -based episodes more for low intermediate learners.
106
You're going to get natural repetition, vocabulary reinforcement, as everything is narrated to you in Spanish.
107
Spanish Obsessed has both beginner and intermediate tracks, and you get a lot of, again, practical dialogues with daily life, conversations about travel.
108
You get more information about differences in usage such as tu versus usted
109
and some discussion about colombian culture lightspeed spanish is great for intermediate stories
110
so you get focus lessons like using directions getting more grammar
111
reinforcement for more high intermediate to advanced learners b2 plus
112
i recommend here notes in spanish now this series contains natural conversations about more cultural topics such as cinema
113
or tapas or love it features dialogues between an english speaker and a native Spanish speaker.
114
Doorway to Mexico features more bilingual Mexican -themed episodes, more focusing on the street food there, on the history, any sorts of colloquial phrases,
115
and all of the context is usually explained in post -dialogue.
116
News in Slow Spanish features more simplified news updates at a more moderate pace and you can choose in between
117
Latin American or Spanish versions, just depending on what kind of Spanish you want to learn.
118
Horario Ambulante has long form sort of narrative journalism on Latin American life and current affairs.
119
So it's a really good sort of B2 listening practice, especially if you want to learn to understand more varied accents across the Spanish speaking world.
120
La Serrara's podcast features more personal real life stories from Latin America.
121
They are socially relevant in terms of themes and also comes with transcripts available.
122
TED Talks has their own podcast just for Spanish on a range of interesting topics.
123
Highly recommend you check those out, especially if you are more advanced looking for more comprehensible input.
124
Charlas Hispanas also has two great hosts that I love to learn from, especially the colloquialisms from Mexico and just sharing a lot of their adventures.
125
For absolutely advanced listeners, I suggest Espanolistos, which feature more cultural debate, interviews, fully Spanish content.
126
I like these because you can really start to pick up on cultural context
127
and more nuanced inferred meanings of what someone is saying.
128
La Borega is more
129
Puerto Rico focused, sort of a bilingual series with production value and deep cultural storytelling in Spanish.
130
Vanguardia de la Ciencia is science journalism episodes in Spanish, usually about sort of daily phenomena, listener questions, and research.
131
And Leyendas Legendarias is more of a Mexican comedy sort of history paranormal podcast, so they come with longer episodes,
132
rich in vocabulary, and a lot of fast -paced narration.
133
Now the miscellaneous section for any sort of extra vocab practice, music, blogs, and exchanges.
134
For music, I love to type into maybe
135
Spotify or YouTube the top 100 most popular songs in the year of whatever 2024 in Mexico or in Spain, et cetera.
136
I also find lyrics training to be very helpful with also not only finding music that you like,
137
but also training your ear to understand everything the singer is talking about.
138
You essentially fill in the gaps with what you think the singer has said, and you get to check and reinforce your listening that way.
139
Vocabulary practice, I've already mentioned Memorize as a great resource if you want to learn vocabulary, especially under a certain category.
140
Anki is also really good.
141
Clothesmaster is great.
142
I did a full review on Clothesmaster, by the way, here in the corner.
143
For language exchanges, any sort of apps like HelloTalk,
144
Tandem, Italki, or Meetup, they all have great opportunities in order to find a language exchange partner.
145
And if you're interested in more articles coming from news outlets that you sometimes do need to pay a subscription for,
146
but it really is totally worth it because you do get authentic reading materials in Spanish, then I recommend
147
El País, DW en Español, C en N Español, and BBC Mundo to start out with for your browsing.
148
And they all also have YouTube channels with them as well if you want to practice listening outside of just reading articles.
149
For books, I recommend SpanishNovels .net.
150
There are tons of well -written Spanish novels for all levels and labeled as such, and they can even be purchased in a bundle,
151
especially during like sales time for Cyber Monday in November.
152
Now we have come to the sample study plans.
153
The plan I recommend for A1 lasts about an hour a day.
154
We'll do the UT Austin task for A1 plus one task from the Profe de Ele website
155
which will last about 30 minutes.
156
App drills on bilingua for about 20 minutes and then some memorized vocab review for about 10 minutes.
157
For A2 which might more around an hour
158
and 15 minutes you do your Profe de Ele tasks for
159
A2 plus listening from the UT of Austin for any sort of special grammar concepts
160
that you really need to solidify might need more practice on for about 35 minutes
161
you'll then write via a prompt from busu
162
which also comes with pure correction for about 15 minutes about one of the topics
163
you listen to in either profede in it or the ut austin website
164
that you completed in your first half of the hour you can do memorize
165
or onki vocab for about 10 minutes for that especially
166
if during writing you had to look up a few words you didn't know
167
and then finish off with some light reading
168
and listening with the Blingua app short story in Spanish for the last 15 minutes.
169
B1, you can take about an hour and 30 minutes.
170
Complete some of the UT Austin B1 tasks for about 30 minutes.
171
Grammar and conjugation drills and mini quizzes on conjugamals .com for about 15 minutes.
172
Writing prompts on Busuu for about 20 minutes.
173
And then the last 25 minutes, again, reading and listening via the Blingua app to improve your reading and to finish out your study session.
174
For B2, for about an hour and 30 minute session, you can try any of the grammar tasks
175
or listening skills listed under the advanced category on the University of Texas at Austin.
176
And, or you can also take this time to review certain grammar points on Lingoda with their slides.
177
Maybe spend about 40 minutes really honing what you are practicing in your grammar, listening, reading, writing, whatever skill you decide to work on that day.
178
Another 15 minutes doing some more grammar deep dives that you might need to investigate more through the channel Linguriosa or Pratiquemos.
179
You can then do some writing and or listening practice with Busuu using one of their prompts according to the B2 level,
180
and then finish out with some light reading either through the Blingua app
181
or challenging yourself to read a news article on either BBC Mundo or El País.
182
For C1 to C2, this study session would also take about an hour and a half.
183
You could use this time to pick out an article from a huge range of sources,
184
either from a video you recently listened to from the news
185
and or an article that you found on a website you might be browsing.
186
Read through it, listen to it, and take a few notes that summarize the main points of what this article or video talked about.
187
For the 20 minutes after that, you're going to hit recording on your phone.
188
Any sort of recording app will do.
189
Give a brief summary about the main points that you heard
190
or read from your article or video summarize them as well as give your opinion about what you liked,
191
disliked, what could be improved about how the article is written
192
or how the information is relayed to you as an audience member.
193
And then for the next 20 minutes or so, you could take this same article
194
and start writing about a summary of what you consumed today from the same article or video,
195
take a picture, maybe send it off to your tandem partner or teacher for corrections later.
196
And then for the end of the session, really end it through your favorite comprehensible input content.
197
So your favorite podcast youtube channel blogger
198
if you're reading a novel you can finish your session out really well
199
that way with something that you enjoy hopefully this video was helpful for you guys

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
