AD60 Review of reading resources.
Duolingo story: Un final sorpresa
Lectura:
Lingua.com Español Very short readings at levels from A1 to C1, each with a short quiz to test what you understood. There are also audio recordings, but only in the Premium version. That costs GBP 9.90 for a year, which isn't much, but on the other hand I have paid for a lot of language resources recently, and I don't consider this one essential.
Learn Spanish (Porolingo) App This is a phone app. I installed it, didn't like it much, and have since changed my phone. I might take another look at some point.
Global Digital Library [Spanish-Spain] / Global Digital Library [Spanish-Latin America] These are short stories for children. We have used quite a lot of them in class. I think I am ready for more challenging material.
BookBox Spanish Videos of children's stories read aloud with subtitles.
The Spanish Experiment More children's stories. You can click for audio, and for translation.
Webtoon en Español Cartoons, or do we call them graphic novels in English? Could be good for seeing contemporary expressions written down; street language is otherwise not so easy to find. I think I should give this one another try.
Tandem: I now have a few 'conversations' in progress, mostly about the weather. I found one excellent contact for Spanish, and for the moment I don't need more. I would like to find someone for German, but no luch so far.
I'm nervous about Tandem, so I've been avoiding it. I got on last Sunday and I got about twelve dudes chatting me up and I was like, NOPE. Also, my conversational Spanish is... not good.
