I’m wanting to start learning Spanish, and I’m looking for a free option that isn’t Duolingo.

I don’t like the gamey fomo aspect of it.

Anyone have a favorite place they found?

    Language Transfer is free and teaches you why the language is the way it is rather than just memorization.

    My recollection is you can get to a 3000 word conversational level much faster than via straight memorization (ex. Duolingo).

      Thank you! I’m also going to check it out, I had been trying to use duo lingo to learn French but it was pure garbage.

      Language transfer is amazing! Gets you to a level where you can start learning on your own - I was able to start reading children’s books in spanish and work my up from there.

      The Italian course is also excellent, gave me enough skills to feel comfortable traveling & speaking Italian
