Basic Spanish for the Virtual Student
This is a very well done site that has lots of beginners information. It shows you the basic ideas of speaking in Spanish, such as verb conjugation and the gender forms of speech, cognates and tenses. There are also some good lessons on which verb, ser or estar, is correctly used, and a short lesson on preterite versus imperfect.
This site has a list of vocabulary that really is quite useful. Most of the words at this site are also on quizzes at SHS. This site is very useful to the begginer linguist.
This is a more advanced site, much of which is all Spanish. Although this site isn't as organized as the others, it still poses a challenge to those who are dedicated to learning Spanish.
This might be a good site to get some ideas for projects in the future. Even though its geared towards younger people, the ideas for good projects are still the same.
