If you have been learning Spanish solo, you know that it is overwhelming to see how many resources are out there to learn.

In this video, I'm going to give you not an exhaustive list, but a list of my absolute favorite resources that I used.

I will also be able to give you sample study plans from A1 all the way up to C2.

The first thing to have in mind is that I always, whenever self -studying, use a base resource.

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.

These usually contain the biggest amount of content.

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,

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,

if you know what I mean.

So the best base resources that I've found for my journey are University of Texas at Austin Spanish proficiency exercises.

Now all skills you can work on with them except for speaking.

They cover the full CFR range of A1 to C2, all with structured tasks.

So beginning, intermediate, advanced, superior, each including grammar exercises, video interviews, reading, vocabulary, as well as cast episodes.

I did also really enjoy using this as I was preparing to take the DELE C1 exam.

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.

Also, this is all free, by the way.

Profe de Ele also offers a lot of resources, even on its free tier.

So you have a lot of level segmented content aligned with the CEFR A1 to C2 levels.

This includes songs, podcasts, lectures, videos, quizzes on vocabulary, on grammar, and on culture.

I found this works best for getting a lot of varied media outside of your base resource.

Any sorts of open source courses are great on either Coursera or edx .org.

If you want to use any of these courses as a base resource, they have a lot of very beginner courses.

So even if you're starting from absolute zero in Spanish, highly recommend you hop on this website and see what's available.

Now, some of my favorite Spanish learning apps are Busuu on the free tier.

It offers a lot of structured lessons, again, from A1 all the way to C1, including grammar, writing, and speaking prompts, a vocabulary.

There's also a community sort of corrections forum where you can get feedback on what you wrote.

Again, not a lot of speaking opportunity, especially if you are on their free tier,

but I still found it a very useful resource to keep on honing my other skills.

Memrise is a great vocabulary app that uses a lot of visual mnemonics, spaced repetition, as well as audio recordings from native speakers.

There are also decks that are made from different community members that you can then take for personal use,

and you can either test reading practice and or listening practice.

So listening just to the audio and then picking out the word that you heard,

either writing it in or picking one of four options for multiple choice.

The BeLingua app is great if you love comprehensible input for learning.

You're essentially reading dual language text side by side

and the program does highlight for you where you are in a text with excellent audio playback.

Another thing I love to do is download slides from Lingoda.

If I don't want to take classes and I just want to see what they have as their curriculum,

I find that everything is really well structured.

Again, according to levels, A1 all the way up to either C1 or C2.

And I found

that this is just a really good supplement for getting material to practice vocabulary under a certain category

and or review a certain grammar concept

and have it explained in a slightly different way than in my other materials

and also have to solidify these concepts even more now the best spanish dictionaries as well as conjugation websites

that i have found reverso context you can get

so many phrases for free with just one word i also love spanish dict

which also has a lot of great example phrases for the word that you're looking up as well as great pronunciation pointers.

I also enjoy lingua tools .de.

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.

So you can learn both words in context.

Cooljugator and CoolGamos are some of the best websites that I've seen that not only let you practice conjugating verbs in Spanish,

but also let you see all of the verb tenses and how they're conjugated in one place.

Especially if you feel overwhelmed with the Spanish verbs.

These are both really great reference points.

YouTube channels that I recommend for complete beginners are first

Butterfly Spanish with Ana Guardia.

She has more of a focus on Mexican Spanish, but does offer comprehensive lessons in pronunciation,

vocabulary, phrases, and she does throw in some cultural tips explaining in both Spanish and English.

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.

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.

That's all I'm going to say about that, but she was honestly one of my favorite creators that I found

when I was really in the thick of my solo Spanish journey.

Español con Juan is a great channel

that uses a lot of comedy totally in Spanish in order for you to learn with more fun.

Juan has a lot of great skits and role plays that even for A1 or A2 learners,

they can pick up on what he is saying by all of the actions that he's doing in the video.

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,

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,

what would a resource video be without mentioning easy Spanish?

Essentially, these are street interviews in Spain and in Latin America,

and the creators really want to curate a listening environment where the listeners can have authentic real -life Spanish spoken to them.

The native speakers that are interviewed give totally unscripted answers,

and there is also a segment of super easy Spanish where even if you are at a A1,

you can start using their immersive content from the beginning.

Why Not Spanish is more of a Colombia -based YouTube channel with bilingual hosts.

They do a lot of entertaining videos in both Spanish with a little bit of English support,

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.

Let's Speak Spanish features a group of instructors based in Spain, and I do like that the playlists are really ordered so

that you do if you want to have a systematic progression of how you consume their content.

Spanish and Go is more of a Puerto Rico, Mexico centered travel vlog style YouTube channel.

So you get a lot of bilingual vlogs on culture or travel.

There's a lot of practical dialogues with visual context

and you can really get a lot of good immersive everyday Spanish by following this channel.

Practiquemos by Catalina has Spanish only videos which focus more on grammar.

So you can really hone any sort of mistakes you keep on making or just to learn new concepts with accentuation,

common errors, and she gives really clear explanations with all of this.

Linguariosa with Elena is kind of a step above the previous channel mentioned.

She really concentrates on advanced linguistic insight and does even more deep dives into Spanish grammar, etymology, anglicisms, variation across dialects,

all in pure Spanish as well.

And now some podcast recommendations for the very beginners i usually recommend coffee break spanish

which provide simple sort of bilingual lessons so there is spanish

and english used they're really short about 15 minutes or less

and you get a lot of cool dialogue

which covers some grammar a little bit of pronunciation etc simple

stories in spanish contain short slow -paced stories narrated with vocabulary intros

and they're very ideal especially for a2 listeners 15 minute spanish for your job features more workplace themed scenarios.

So small talk, talking about travel, ordering coffee, all coming with clear explanations,

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

200

if you have any other suggestions for really good quality spanish

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
