Here is a short-list of some of the best resources you can use to study Spanish over the internet. We run our own Spanish school, and offer Spanish classes online with a subsidiary, but we have tried to be as objective as possible when compiling this list. It’s up to you to decide which type of resource will suit you best, but we hope this list and review of online Spanish learning tools will help you choose your resources faster so you can start down the road of language acquisition.

Just browse the list of websites and their descriptions until you come across an interactive Spanish course or Spanish language forum that you like the sound of. Then click on the corresponding link on the left of the page to visit the relevant website.

And remember – your Spanish learning experience is more likely to be successful if you enjoy studying with the online Spanish course that you pick. Make sure your choice fits with your individual needs and preferences, and above all, have fun learning Spanish!

1. BBC Languages

We love this site! Obviously the BBC has money to throw around, and this site reflects that. There are loads of free Spanish grammar explanations, exercises and vocabulary lists. If that were not enough, they also offer a Spanish audio magazine, a guide to Spanish slang, Latin music, lyrics and additionally the Spanish GCSE Bitesize, AS and A2 material.
We like the clear grammar explanations combined with audio options and we think that the materials are well presented and fun, and particularly well-suited for UK nationals. A modern and wide ranging Spanish learning website.
Note that the grammar is from Spain, but many other resources are from Spain and Latin America.

This website enjoys a tremendous amount of traffic and it offers a range of forums, not just Spanish. There is an active discussion group, but since the subject matter is so broad, you need to search around for Spanish-relevant themes. We like this site and would like to see it diversify.
