Think Spanish! Audio Magazine is a magazine about Spanish culture from around the world. It says it’s for all levels however, I’d suggest at least some knowledge of Spanish is needed so you will at understand some of the magazine without have to always refer to the included glossary on every page and not be discouraged. The magazine is a monthly issue accompanied by an audio CD. The Audio CD contains the entire magazine, so you can listen while you read or listen to the CD during your commute.
This makes a great addition to your regular study program in that it gives you a look into Spanish culture and unlike a regular Spanish magazine or newspaper, you won’t need your dictionary because a bilingual glossary is on every page.
Think Spanish! gives you the variety of something different every month and each issue is filled with vocabulary, grammar,
Think Spanish! arrives at your door every month filled with practical Spanish vocabulary, grammar, idioms and even short test that review what you’ve read.
This is a great way to keep your Spanish fresh and current. Only $10 a month for the magazine plus audio CD or if you only want the magazine delivered it’s less.

1Hi there. I have been reading about your recommendations for learning Spanish and like them very much.
I lived in Uruguay for the past year and will be returning to South America in the fall. I just loved it.
I recorded several of my Spanish lessons with my teacher in which she read essays from Paulo Coelho, the author of the Alchemist. He granted me permission to post the recordings and text on my website.
So, if any of your vistors want to here Spanish and read along with it, they are certainly welcome to visit my site. It’s all free.
They can click here to get to it: http://www.thisishowyoudoit.com/blog/category/learning-spanish/
Thanks for your great site. I will refer back to it often as learning Spanish is an on-going process.

PS: I also performed many interviews that I will be posting shortly

3Hi:
Your site is full of wonderful recommendations, so I thought I’d mention that we have a new website, Spanish NewsBites (www.spanishnewsbites.com), which offers Spanish language news stories adapted for learners at all levels, with audio, exercises etc. You may and your readers may find it useful!
Best wishes,
Freddy

5Hi, Maribel:
I know a British couple here in Spain whose 5 year-old is having problems with her Spanish – I think I’ve just seen a website they might be interested in!
Thanks, Freddy

6I thing that everyone should learn a second language. A favorite site that makes learning spanish super easy is http://www.quiz-buddy.com/Spanish_Phrases_with_Audio.html
This site has a great method for teaching conversational spanish and phrases.

7This is a great idea!
I do listen to Spanish audio lessons on my commute- it’s a great way to get Spanish study in! I really like the innovative studying techniques that you give! Practicing a language can be hard when you don’t typically have opportunities all the time. I learned Spanish in Spain, so it was easy for me to practice; however, at home I need more ideas like this to study more frequently.

10Thanks to your practical info blog!!
Most of the time we travel to places we’ve never been, places that are completely new and totally different. What makes it so include a lot of things; culture, food, lifestyle, tradition, and basically the language. It makes a big difference facing a difference. Here, challenge and fun become inseparable. This sums up what I can say about my sprachreisen Spanien. If you ever have had any exciting and worthwhile experiences in Spain perhaps you can share some with me? I’d like to share it with my friends who want are bound for a language travel there next month. Thank you!

11Thanks for the great info on Think Spanish magazine! There are a lot of ways to learn the Spanish language and CDs are one of them, although in my opinion, nothing compares to a good Spanish school

12EXPANISH SPANISH SCHOOL in Buenos Aires
I had a very nasty experience with expanish . The sales rep, Michelle, was a pretty ‘full-on’ sales type of operator. She was very keen to sell me on the full eight week deal and advised that a one week introduction was a waste of time. Trusting her advice, I booked for two weeks with a view to see how things proceeded. She also said I should start immediatly because a weekly class had just started. After a hurried sign off of the form (small print in Spanish) and payement in USD only I was seated into a class that was already half way through. The lecturer spoke, only in Spanish and adhoc sign language. I seriously had no idea what she was saying. The other students were also pulling WTF type faces at each other.
I apologized to the lecturer and explained that I was having difficulty catching up with the lesson. She snapped at me and said that I would just have to take a another lesson another time. I was angered and embarrassed to say the least. I then informed the administrators that I would prefer to cancel my lessons because I was so humiliated by the treatment and needed to start from scratch. They also informed me that some lecturers do speak english and some don’t.
I offered to pay a $50 USD penalty for the hour that I was there. The sales ladiy’s response was aggressive and sharp.She promptly informed that that they do not give refunds. She informed me that when I signed the personal information form, (that’s what it was titled), I had also signed and agreed to their terms and conditions which are posted on their web site. The only option given to me was that I could do some private lessons for equal value or simply lose my $300 US. In other words, too bad, we have your money and there’s nothing you can do about it.
After a very heated argument they finally agreed to refund half my money. The hostel that I am staying since told me that Expanish has a reputation of high pressure sales and that they would have advised mt to use a different company.
I went in there trusting good reports from forums and ended up letting my guard down when it came to making an assessment. They even had a Lonely Planet logo in their brochure and guess what? When I got back to my dorm, I checked the Lonely Planet guide and Expanish isn’t even listed.
Based on this incident, my advice is to tread very carefully when dealing with the sales representative at Expanish or any english teaching business in BA. Do not let them pressure you into a rushed decision or book more lessons than you originally wanted in the first place. Make sure that they give you a print-out of the terms and conditions (in English). Be sure to make sure that the lecturer assigned to your class actually speaks English rather than pigeon English and sign language – perhaps ask to met the lecturer.
Remember that the English lesson market is very competitive Buenos Aires.
Hope this advice proves useful in some way.

13My translator here in Portland, Oregon showed me a program which reads ENGLISH text in Spanish. I haven’t tried it yet, but this reminded me of that.
I think there are only two Spanish magazines (to learn Spanish) here in Oregon. One from Castelia Language School, which comes out monthly, and another from Portland In Spanish, which seems to focus more on Peru than anything else. Ada Manrique publishes one, and Priscilla Ogdon in Beaverton the other, I believe (but check).
Give me more! I love them. Better than the NYT’s lately =(.

14I noticed when I travelled Central America & when I have been in Spain , many people don’t use the perfect tense but I was quite accurate at that point. So Audio magazine will be great thing for them to learn something perfect.
