How often do you use spanishdict? Do you use it as your only learning technique or do you use it with some other resource? I happen to use a different teacher. She has helped me learn, little by little.

I use anything and everything I can to learn Spanish, and frankly that's what I think you need to do.

At NotesinSpanish.com they give "8 Top Tips" for learning Spanish. Here is #1-:

  1. If learning Spanish gets boring, change something immediately.

I think that's good advice, and really I think you can get bored with it no matter what you do. So it's good to change to something else when that happens.

That being said, there are so many resources here at SpanishDict.com, you don't have to leave the site to do something new for variety's sake.

This site isn't my only learning source, but it's my most important one. And I'm here every day for that reason.

Too much!! Just ask my boss...

OK, seriously, I am here pretty much every day, probably for at least an hour altogether, occasionally for several hours. I learn more here than anywhere else because I am constantly trying out my skills, either trying to figure out answers to questions or writing in Spanish.

That said, I also do a lot of reading and listening to videos (for fluency) and I have worked through some books on grammar and usage. That way I´m approaching the same problem (learning Spanish) from many directions.

I agree with Goyo. This is my main resource for learning Spanish. I like the structure of going through the lessons one by one. I use SpanishDict every day, whether it is watching the videos, doing exercises, learning in the forum, or chatting.
I also use Notes IN Spanish and Coffee Break Spanish, among other resources. Goyo is right--you need a variety so you don't get bored. But I always..ALWAYS come back to SpanishDict!

I also agree with everyone. This is by far the best website for learning Spanish. It not only teaches you, but it also allows you to participate, which helps you learn how to form sentences.

For verb congugation go to 123teachme.com This site gives you GREAT conjugations.

For your computer a MUST HAVE is the Oxford Spanish Dictionary. It is the computer CD version of the GANTIC Oxford Spanish Dictionary. You can easily get the pronunciation of a word by simply right-clicking on it. It allows English to Spanish and Spanish to English lookups. You can hear an entire paragraph in Spanish with its included "Real Speak". It is very inexpensive. The CD is only $34.64 if you are not a member of bn.com, and 31.17 if you are a member. ISBN 978-0-19-860683-3

But as I said, this is by far the best community for help in learning Spanish.

I go to this site 7 days a week!
