Learning Spanish at home as a couple.


Learning Spanish at home as a couple.

Like it says, we are learning Spanish. We're in Utah with nearby Spanish speaking populations and it's a growing demographic. We each have minor exposure to high school Spanish (1 year for me, 3 for him.)

Unfortunately, travel and local immersion or classes are absolutely NOT an option for learning - I wish we could do otherwise. All learning options must be able to be done at home on our own schedule - with daily practice encouraged!

We can throw some money at this - but not thousands. I use a Mac, my husband runs Linux but can use a Mac too. We also have streaming services that we could use for media and subtitles (Apple TV, Xbox One).

We're looking for programs, websites, books, workbooks, flashcards, lifestyle tips, good Spanish TV or movies, etc.

US: We want a good mix of things we can work on separately and lessons and things we can do as a couple to keep a similar pace. Probably items suited toward doing them at the same time, speaking to/quizzing each other and doing around the house. Likely more of a classroom or lesson vibe.

HUSBAND: Wants more immersion based. He leans toward audio and repetition. He enjoyed the Pimsleur CDs in the past and got a free trial of audible for them now.

WIFE: Leans toward learning through examples (especially photos or videos of situations for context), understanding grammar rules as a basis, as well as repetition and audio. I enjoy work books and getting a good "grade" so to speak.

¡Gracias!
