There is a goldmine of free Spanish-learning material in your local library
We all like free right? So instead of dropping your hard-earned cash on a pricey Spanish course, try out these free resources. Your library might not have all of these materials, but if you look, they are sure to have some of them. If you live in an area with a lot of Spanish-speaking people, your library should have lots of material. So just look through the list and head on down to the library.
Material in Spanish for you to practice your Spanish with
You can use books and other materials written in Spanish to practice, to read, to enjoy etc.
- Books (Modern novels, Classical literature, Short stories, Non-fiction)
- Movies/DVDs
- Comic books
- Magazines
- Music CDs/Tapes
Spanish-learning material
Some libraries have Spanish coursebooks, textbooks, and workbooks. I once used an old set of tapes (an old government Spanish course from the ’50s) that I checked out to learn Spanish. Believe it or not, it was very helpful.
- Grammar books
- Phrasebooks
- Full-fledged Spanish courses on DVD/CD/VHS
Other material you can use
- Spanish language newspaper/classified ads
- Spanish language pamphlets for different local government programs
Get creative with this material. If you can find a Spanish-language newspaper in your area (and it’s probably free to boot), consider yourself blessed. Read it. Look up the unknown words in a dictionary. Practice using sentences as templates for you to use.
I belive that it is possible to learn Spanish if you study it online regularly and practise it with native speakers.
