Posted in Learn Spanish
There are a zillion different places on the internet to find stuff to help you learn how to speak Spanish. The most common and well known is Amazon.com. I’ve got a “Store” setup on the Products page that has a bunch of learning Spanish products in one place. Full disclosure - It’s an “affiliate” store, if you buy something or even click through to Amazon, I’ll get a very small commission. I mainly put it there to see how it would look and another was so everything would be in one place. There are books, dictionaries, and I even started going to Amazon for downloading of some Latin music MP3’s. So, it’s convienent for me. I like Amazon for the reviews, but I try and be careful of the reviews too. I take out the highest (could be an agenda) and the lowest (could be an ax to grind) and believe more of the ones in the middle ground. And I’ve still boughten things that weren’t really right for me.
Did you know there are Spanish Learning Products on Ebay? (Click here) Tons and tons of Spanish learning stuff. Ebay isn’t just about auctions. Most products have a “Buy it Now” symbol. Instead of waiting for the auction to end, just buy it. Usually for a lot cheaper than anywhere else on the net. A lot of people have regular stores setup on Ebay and are carrying more than one item or more than one copy so what’s the point of an auction? You may still get it cheaper, but probably not by much. If you’ve never done Ebay, it’s easy to sign up, most take credit cards or Paypal and your purchases are completely secure and any customer service issues are usually handled quickly because people don’t want bad reviews or their rating to drop. And yes, that’s an affiliate link also.
Either the Amazon or the Ebay listings are there mainly as reference for myself and my own shopping. Plus it was a nice programming exercise. With the commissions either of these pay, I’d have to get tens of thousands of visitors here a month to quit my day job and that’s not going to happen. If you’d like to support the site, I’d appreciate it, especially since it doesn’t raise or affect your costs at all.
