How do I start classes?
3 Answers
Welcome to the forum. If you are asking how to start the free classes here, just look up at the blue bar at the top of the page and click on "Learn Spanish". There are 60 free lessons there. You can also avail yourself the thousands and thousands of flashcards (or create some for your own study purposes), read the resource section under the More dropdown. There are many other features here, but that's a start.
Just in case you can't find the link here it is Learn Spanish!
Each lesson starts out with a short video and then it goes to the flashcards where you can review the lesson. Next you will be tested on the flashcards.
In the Recognize section you will be shown a card and have to select the correct answer from a list of 4 possibilities.
In the Listen section you will hear I word or phrase and have to select the correct answer from a list of 4 possibilities.
Finally, in the Recall section you will be shown a card in English and you have to write the Spanish word or words for it. This is the hardest one. Be sure to include the articles on nouns and accent marks where needed. For instance if the question was NORTH and you replied with NORTE instead of EL NORTE then you would be wrong. Likewise if the word was RAT and you replied with RATON instead of RATÓN you would be wrong. (how to type the accent marks is a whole other topic which you can read if you search the questions for it)
After the testing sections you are given the opportunity to practice writing and speaking Spanish using what you have learned. You are awarded points for each section that you complete and when you reach 750 you can go to the next lesson.
Actually you can go to the next lesson anytime you want to and you can skip lessons too. You can always go back and take a lesson over again for review purposes or if you want to try to increase your grade.
Here's a tip. After watching the video, Continue to the Flashcards. If you don't continue then you will not get the 100 points for watching the video
