SpanishDict.com announces today the release of a new video-based Spanish language course. The course offers professional grade videos, games, and exercises in a series of lessons that guide you step-by-step to speaking Spanish. The cost of the new course: free.
Interactive Language Learning
SpanishDict’s new course uses multimedia to make language learning engaging. The videos are lead by a professionally trained Spanish teacher and utilize images and questions to introduce new vocabulary and concepts. The lessons challenge people to earn points as they proceed through the course. The point system tracks performance, showing your progress as you continue to learn.
A Social Network of Support
The site also utilizes the “social” features of modern websites—including friends, forums, blogs, and comments—to allow you to connect with other as you learn Spanish. Languages are inherently social. The new course allows people not only to learn about a language, but to actually use it. A person in Oklahoma can get feedback on their Spanish from a person in Madrid right on the site.
Continuous Learning
New lessons are produced each week which allows participants to develop an ever-expanding vocabulary and grasp of grammar. Users who want additional vocabulary practice can utilize the fully customizable vocabulary list feature. Our hope is that you can start with the basics and proceed to develop a solid foundation in Spanish.
Learn When you Want, Where you Want
The lessons are available on iTunes as videos or podcasts so you can download them to your iPod and watch them on the go. The flashcards and games are contained in an embeddable widget that participants can place on their Facebook, MySpace, or custom start page. These new tools make it incredibly easy for to practice when and where it is convenient.
We hope you like the new lessons. Be sure to visit the learn Spanish page to check them out. And as always, let us know your feedback.

Paralee Whitmire is great. I´ve learned a lot of spanish today (and hopefully more in the future) because of her. She teaches fast enough to keep me concentrated all the time. That she is nice too, doesn´t make matters worse.

Apart from learning new lessons using the available course, fluency in Spanish can be improved when you converse in Spanish with your Spanish friends. I am sure it will be real fun

The best way to speak Spanish is to put your knowledge into practice. Try talking with other Spanish speaking people in Spanish even if they happen to know English. If you persist in your efforts to speak in Spanish you will not only iron out your mistakes but also gain fluency in the language.

I love watching movies to learn a language. I think they are very helpful for me because I can see what I am hearing. And when there are subtitles that match the movie, it’s even better because I know how to pronounce words.
Now you’ve got all kinds of free stuff and quizes. I like it!
