Have you seen Accelerated Spanish? It's a podcast that uses an imaginary story, including audio and some visuals, along with a "memory palace of mnemonics" to help retain information better. I have used it for about 9 months on a fairly consistent basis and have had good success with it.
There is a free and various paid versions. WordDive is another spanish program. I think it is pretty good for words but not so good for grammar. Thank you for the time and energy you put into this. It was very helpful in finding an online Spanish tool for my daughter.
Wondering what you recommend for someone relearning a language, who is a visual learner and obsessed with grammar? I was not fluent or a native speaker but took classes for a year plus while living in Mexico.
Now a decade later, wanting to relearn. I am a teacher at a bilingual school in Honduras and I am looking to improve my Spanish during this quarantine. I've been here for 2 years and have pretty average comprehension and speaking abilities I can talk to office staff, administrators, and people in public usually without much of a problem. I definitely need to work on my grammar and pronunciation, but I also want to get better at reading and writing as well.
I really don't have tons of money to spend teacher salary : so I was wondering what your recommendation would be for my situation. I was thinking RocketSpanish pricey or Rosetta Stone. Have you looked at Spanish with Paul?
A lot of free videos on YouTube as well as a paid subscription. I would love to hear how you rate this option.
Which one would you say is the best for someone who has a pretty good accent, and can converse in basic Spanish, but says everything in the present tense? I really need work on verbs, tenses, and reflexive verbs, etc.
For me personally, I would definitely add to the list Because the online course is made by a real Spanish language school in Spain. Also, it is completely based on e-learning, so you can study at the time and pace you prefer. Just curious but you only casually mentioned Memrise. I have also come across FluentU but havent bough subscriptions to these and have been trying the free courses to start.
I am taking Spanish lessons with a Native teacher called Rocio. Mango is great in introducing grammar. I have studied Russian and they really do well with this "not so easy" grammar, step by step without avoiding the difficult parts rare. We quoted it one of the best app to start a language more than websites and apps tried I think that the greatest attraction to any course you have reviewed is the degree of originality, motivational content and a very interesting lexicon.

Sacrifice a chicken for my prospects jw. Muchos Gracias Senor Nagel! So helpful. I tried the free Rocket Spanish lesson and I really enjoyed it. I'll take you up on your offer for the discount for their program.
However, it seems very childish to me. If you could please get back to me with any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you! Amy M. I just recently moved to Florida and board my horse here. I see Spanish so popular here especially in equestrian world. I would like to learn Spanish especially with people working with horses at barn. Any suggestions? How do you rate SpanishVIP? MosaLingua The free app is pretty good, but I think the paid version would be much better.
It's not expensive, but my husband and I are retired and every dollar counts. Thanks for reviewing apps. I'm surfing from app to app and finding ones with stories narrated by native speakers best but also needing interaction and speaking. Great article, amazing information. Rosetta Stone is my favorite. Thank you for your time compiling this list! Would you be able to provide more information about what "inappropriate images" are in Rosetta Stone? Or just something that seems confusing, like arrows pointing backwards that mean forward?
I am interested in Castillian Spanish. But I don't see Castillian explicitly mentioned on the list until 33 which is expensive.
