Family Vocabulary in Spanish

This lens forms part of a collection of lenses I am making to help beginners learn Spanish, using videos, games and songs. I would like to provide an addition and/or alternative to your traditional Spanish learning. As a dyslexic, I find traditional learning techniques difficult and ineffective. This motivated me to collect a selection of free online alternative resources for Spanish learners. In a sense, these are the resources I would like too see
when trying to learn spanish.

The lens content is split into different resource type by module. You can navigate these modules by using The Table of Contents below. A series of 'Talk Bubbles' will guide you through the lens, but you are under no obligation to work your way down the lens: you can treat the lens as a resource (to pick and choose from) or an actual online Spanish lesson (to follow through from start to finish).

In addition to the videos, games and songs I have already mentioned, I have also included a collection of free resources to be used offline by teachers and parents. I have also included a quick quiz for you to test the Spanish you have learned. This is meant to be a bit of fun and should not be taken too seriously. To help other learners, you can vote for your favourite type of resource. This will also help me to create better language learning lens in the future for you to use.

As you might have already guessed, this lens focuses on learning Spanish words for family members. Additional lenses focused on other areas of Spanish vocabulary will follow soon. As they do, I will add links to them on this lens. If there is a particular vocab subject you would like to see, please let me know using the contact form near the bottom of this lens.

In addition to the videos, I have also included a list of Squidoo lenses that provide free language learning in Spanish and a few other languages: French, German and Italian. This list includes a collection of lenses by other Squidoo lensmasters and two collections of lens created by me:

A group of lessons aimed at teaching key phrases in French, German, Italian & Spanish, and another group of lenses aimed at helping you learn a language with Twitter. Once again this group of Twitter lenses focus on French, German, Italian and Spanish (each language having its own lens).

I have also included a list of books, CDs, DVDs, Kindle Downloads and Software aimed at beginners learning Spanish available to buy from Amazon. These products have been selected by Amazon, not me. I included them as a possible additional option for your Spanish learning. You may prefer to stick with the free options :-)

Finally, I have included some information about my good friend Jose, who runs an excellent Spanish learning website for beginners. He is very generous with his time and provides a large range of free online resources for Spanish learners. He also introduced me to loads of very cool Mexican music :-)

If you have any further questions or requests, you can contact me via a range of options: all of which are listed in the final section of this lens 'Me on the Interweb'.

Best of luck with your Spanish studies!

"Unlike American English Speakers who seem to know at least some words and phrases in Spanish, British English Speakers do not usually learn Spanish at school. What little foreign language I did learn at school was focused on French and German. This meant, I think I can honestly say, I did not learn one single Spanish word or expression due to my schooling. A fairly remarkable fact when you consider how many people in the speak Spanish."
