September 1, 2009 by Admin · Leave a Comment
There are loads of Spanish Courses and Schools I have covered yet a lot do not have the budget for it. Today I will cover how to learn to speak Spanish for free. I have added 6 top sites that have a focus on learning Spanish language for free.
1) BBC – Learn Spanish for Free Course
BBC Learn Spanish Course offers a wide range video and audio courses of over 30 different languages. It has a variety of course options. Its very basic, but a nice way to learn to speak basic Spanish for free. Aside from that I really recommend reading the news in Spanish from there, or watching Spanish broadcasts.
2) Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Learning Spanish Language Open Course
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a wide range of its courses online, including its language courses! I can recommend the literature material to supplement your studying. MIT is a front runner on opening up its courses to the main public and I hope this trend will be followed by other leading universities.
3) My Happy Planet – Learning Spanish Through Exchange
My Happy Planet is mainly a language exchange site, but site users have uploaded a bunch of Spanish Lessons you can use. It is fairly active. After signing up it was very easy to find language exchange partners, it has quite a large database.
4) The Open University – Learn Spanish Free Course
Great Spanish course content can be found there.
5) Livemocha – Free Spanish Language Learning Through Exchange
Again a great Free Site that has loads of free Spanish material. Beware though they are commercial and will give a lot of buying options.
6) Learning Spanish Language – learn to speak Spanish for free Course
I hope these 6 sites will get you started and give you the option of learning the Spanish language for free. Don’t just sit there, and start learning Spanish right now!

I Have received numerous requests on the best Learn To Speak Spanish Program. Unfortunately i have to disappoint you. There is no one way program that will suit all.
For some it will be Rosetta Stone, for some Pimsleur etc. However over the coming weeks i will be covering several Learn To Speak Spanish Program’s by actually purchasing them and giving a thorough review.
This week i have started of with the Rocket Spanish Program. You can Find the link at the Learning materials.
See you soon, and start Learning Spanish Today.

- Rocket Spanish Review Rating
LearningSpanishLanguage Review:
I was recently asked by a student to give a critical Rocket Spanish Review. Aside from learning the Spanish Language through immersion one could also learn Spanish from home. After searching around a bit online I concluded that it is one of the main Spanish products pushed on the internet. However 9 out of 10 reviews on it seem to be solely made in order to sell the product, I even doubt that the reviews are made by actual former Spanish students. Leaving all the eccentric ads that can be found online about Rocket Spanish aside, below is my objective review on learning Spanish by using the Rocket Software
Firstly some critiques:
- The “promotional offer” (100$, instead of $300) always stands. So don’t worry about hurrying up and buying the project right away.
- The whole flash card games etc. offered by Rocket Spanish are not really that sophisticated. Still I admit its a nice tool.
- If you are already pretty advanced in Spanish, Rocket Spanish wont leap you forward in great steps. It seems to be focused more on the beginning Spanish learner.
Now for the plus points:
- The free online Spanish course that they are offering actually gives a good insight on beginners Spanish and I certainly can recommend it.
- They have a 90 day return policy and after my mystery purchase for this review I can confirm that the policy is enforced without any problems.
- The recordings are crystal clear
- The conversations are based on realistic settings (unlike the Rosetta stone course for example)
- Part 1 of Rocket Spanish is great for beginning Spanish learners
I am passionate about people learning the Spanish Language and I hope that by discussing different options more will start learning the Spanish language. I hope that my Rocket Spanish review was helpful for you. You will be surprised how awarding it is once you have mastered the Spanish Language.
