On-line Resources

Complete Spanish (from LanguageTransfer.org)   Complete Spanish begins by homing in on, deciphering and exploring the Latin element of English, and converting it right into Spanish!  The course uses a thinking method instead of a memorization method.  There are 90 downloadable video files (in MP4 format). For best use these MP4 files should be converted to MP3 audio file format because there is no useful video material, just audio. The audio can be burned to a CD to play in the car, or loaded onto an MP3 player.  It is worth going through the entire course several times.  You won't find a better language instructor than the one for this course.  The course and course materials are free, but please consider donating to this excellent organization.
