Resources I use - Apps, websites

I found Duolingo quite useful for vocabulary and also memorization through rote learning of phrases. This may appear childlike at first instance but do remember that children learn languages very quickly and not through a grammar book as much as through imitation, play and generally trying to make themselves understood. So the key to learning a language you intend to use is to learn like a child.

There are countless other sites offering Spanish language resources for free - BBC languages, MOOC's like EdX, Busuu etc.

The point is not about having access to countless resources and doing nothing about them. It is imperative to be serious and stick with your group. The internet is virtually a gateway to learning but the only thing missing out there is you!
