Answer 3

There are quite a few phonos libros (audio books) online that are wav files that just play through your browser you can find them by just searching in google. You can also get some on iTunes but many of those cost money. If you really want some I would try your local library!

Answer 4

Hi kitty,
There are free mp3 dialogues (at a variety of levels) that you can download at www.notesinspanish.com, and at www.spanishpod.com (the last you will have to sign up for a free trial membership). You might also try newsinslowspanish.com although I haven't tried this one out, personally. Hope that's of use.

You do not have to click on "watch". You have to click the "start" button on the video panel situated to the right of "watch". It should be a small black triangle pointing to the right. Alternatively there is a white triangle in the middle of the video panel, just click on that.

So your sequence of search is as follows
Click on Learn Spanish at top of page
Click on learn Spanish 1
Click on Learn Spanish 1.1 (under the word Lesson)
Start video.

Answer 12

I've worked my way through Learn Spanish 3.4 and I'm starting to get the hang of making myself understood in BASIC situations, especially in print. But at a Mexican restaurant last night, I ordered just fine but was completely at a loss when the waitress responded. She finally gave up and used English. How can I practice listening when I don't have native speakers available to help?

I went to a couple of web sites of children's stories in Spanish, but even they were way too fast for me to comprehend. Do you have any good listening sites to suggest'

• I like Lomastv.com because there is a "slow" button you can push and the sound is corrected for speed. There are free samples, or you join for $99. to get it all. Could you share the web sites with children's stories please? - kittybrougha Oct 28, 2009

Answer 13

I've found that you just need to listen to it often - even if you don't understand. At first it will make no sence but with time you will start to hear where one word/phrase begins and the other ends. When that happens you will be able to pick out the full words you don't know but you'll be able to understand them based on the context.

The kids stories sound great!

I also like the Notes From Spain podcasts:
http://www.notesfromspain.com/category/podcasts/

They have beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Also, you can watch the Spanish channel or listen to a Spanish radio station. Those are much harder to understand, but with time they help you and will make understanding an actual person in a conversation much easier.

Answer 14

Someone suggested to me Spanish Pocoyo on youtube a while back.It is a childrens cartoon. It has helped me in my understanding because the words are usually clear and slow.
