OctEx: Language Learning Links

A focused young man studying at a cluttered desk filled with books and maps.

It has been a good week of Spanish. I’ve practiced a little and consumed a lot of media. It feels like I am making at least some progress. The only issue I have encountered is second thoughts about choosing Spanish. I know I have a good reason to learn it, but I have equally good reasons to learn other languages. I will discuss this in a separate post about discussions we’ve been having around here.

I will edit this post over time to add more links, and at the end of the month, I will transfer them all to a permanent page that I will add to my menu. I have no relationship with any of these, and I get nothing for listing them. I just hope they are useful.

Spanish In Particular

BBC Languages Spanish

Easy Spanish (YouTube)

Relatos del Lado Oscuro (YouTube. Two notes: This is a channel about creepy stuff. It’s not specifically for language learning. I just enjoy it. And if your language on YouTube is set to English, it may give you an English dub. You can click on the “Settings” gear icon and choose Spanish on a video-by-video basis, or you can set all of YouTube to Spanish in your account settings.)
