We’re all accustomed to using the tried and true method of flashcards in language classes. I would roughly estimate that over 80% of us who have taken any foreign language course use flashcards to try and memorize new words, new concepts, or things we may need to define in a language course.

When learning Spanish it is best to think of your personal learning style above all. This will not only help you identify what ways you process information, but will also help you identify your potential weaknesses.

While there are many resources available for each particular area of interest, few aside from formal education and tutoring will cover all of them. […]
