Tune up your Spanish in La Casa Rojas
If learning Spanish (or improving your level) was on your list of 2010 resolutions and you haven’t made much progress in that area, it’s not too late to get back on track.
Luis & Joan Rojas of La Casa Rojas are releasing free video Spanish lessons weekdays covering everything, from Spanish phonetics to Spanish grammar and idiomatic expressions. They explain:
“Here’s how it works. Each day, Monday through Friday, we publish a new Spanish class in the format of a 10-minute video. Each class builds on the one of the day before. We ask you to do some stuff on your own and if you follow along with us, by December 31, 2010, you will have made new friends, expanded your knowledge of your world and probably be planning a trip to some great Spanish speaking local, just to show off a little.”
They have already posted more than 50 videos on their web site but if you already know some Spanish you can take an a la carte approach and pick and choose the topics that are of most interest to you.
