About Me

A mild-mannered homeschool mom who is faster than a speeding flash card, more powerful than a mega-workbook, and able to leap tall unabridged bilingual dictionaries in a single bound! Look! Up in cyberspace! It's a flamenco skirt! It's an irregular verb chart! No, it's just me, and it's time to learn Spanish.

Some favorite links

Posted in grammar and language helps

Can I just say that I love the internet?  Yes, I know there is a lot of garbage on it, but it has had such an amazing impact on how I homeschool and communicate.  I even have a part-time job tutoring on the internet, and I always wanted to work somewhere where I could do my job in my jammies.

There are a wealth of sites to help you and encourage you in learning Spanish.  Here are a selection of favorites:
  • ¡Qué bien se come en casa! - People from all over the Spanish speaking world share their favorite recipes.
  • Wordreference - A fantastic online dictionary.
  • What's for eats - An English language guide to world cuisine.
  • Study Spanish - You can't beat free Spanish lessons.
  • Spanish Pronto - a great site with resources to help you improve your Spanish.
  • Mundo Recetas - Recipes, recipes, recipes!  All you need is a Spanish dictionary and a metric converter to get cooking!
  • Metric Conversions - The Spanish speaking world is on the metric system.  This site will help you understand weights, measurements, and temperatures.
  • Learn Spanish - A great way to build vocab.
  • BBC Spanish - The UK's BBC Network has some great Spanish resources.
  • ABC España - Not to be confused with our ABC network, this is a premier news organization in Spain. 
  • El Rincón de Margarita - an amazing collection of links to language resources, including comics, music, cultural information, grammar help, webcasts, news, and artists.
  • About.com Spanish - There is more free information here than one human mind can take in!  Great information for people at all levels of Spanish.
  • Cliffs Notes - Who knew they had a grammar review that covered 1st and 2nd year Spanish?  All the grammar you can handle, and more!  Beginners will especially want to check out the thematic vocabulary lists.
  • Free Sight Word booklets! - You have to scroll down a bit on the page to find these free printable sight word booklets.  They are available in English, Spanish, and French!  They are short books with pictures as context clues.  Some students may enjoy coloring the pictures.
  • Learn to say and pronounce the Spanish Alphabet at SpanishBooster.
  • From Enchanted Learning - free printable calendar pages with a theme and vocab lesson built right in!
  • Enchanted learning Spanish theme page - fasten your seatbelt and warm up your printer; there is enough here to keep you busy for a long time!
  • Time for Kids Around the World - Nine Spanish-speaking countries are featured on this kid friendly site, with lots of pictures and information about each country.  Well worth a visit to make the Spanish-speaking world come alive!
  • The Colouring Book of Flags - View, print, and color flags from most any country in the world.  A great addition to any study of the Spanish-speaking world.
  • The UN Cartographic Section - The drop-down menu on the left of the page lets you scroll through an amazing list of countries.  The maps are very detailed and accurate.  A great source of maps for notebooking, reports, and coloring.
  • Teaching and Learning Spanish - An amazing blog of free Spanish resources and ideas by a Spanish teacher!  She has more links, resources, and ideas than you can take in at a glance, this is a blog to bookmark and really dig into. 
  • Teaching Generations - This is a mother and daughter homeschool blog with great homeschooling ideas, many of them are for teaching Spanish.  This mom has raised her kids bilingually - hurray for her!  This is another blog to bookmark and follow!
  • Colorín Colorado cognate dictionary - This page offers a useful web dictionary of cognates - words that are the same or similar in both Spanish and English.
  • Spanish Cognates Dictionary - another cognate dictionary, containing upwards of 4,000 words.  Discover just how much Spanish you really know!
  Note: Please review any links before presenting them to children.  I have tried to be judicious in my selections, but I can't control what people may put on these websites.

Just a few internet terms:
  • el internet - I don't need to translate that do I?
  • la red - the web
  • un sitio web - a web site
  • correo electronico - the word for email in Spanish
  • un email - what everyone really calls an email
  • el enlace - link
Happy surfing!
