- Telemundo – This giant organization offers news, videos, TV shows, horoscopes, and so much more all online!
Spanish dictionaries:

- Diccionario de la lengua española – This great dictionary also has many features, such as word origin, example sentences, synonyms, antonyms, etc.
Apps:
As with the websites, these apps are specific to Spanish and Spanish alone. For general language learning, check out my listed blog posts at the top of this page! 🙂
Several of these are free for a select number of lessons and then cost to continue.
I would recommend trying a ton of apps and websites out first, before buying anything.
There are more than enough free Spanish resources (or better paid options, like italki), but some sites or apps might be perfect for you and your lifestyle and therefore worth paying for!
Courses and other learning apps:
- Spanish Word Game – My personal favorite! This is a very fun matching game to teach you vocab. You match to win points and you can then use the points to add new vocab lists to your repertoire. There is a small grammar aspect to the app as well, but it is minimal.
- Lirica – Learn Spanish through music! This app has tons of songs in Spanish that each teach a different grammar feature and/or new vocab via fun exercises and games.
- SpanishDict – The app version of the amazing website mentioned above. A dictionary and translator with lessons and vocab drills as well!
- Fabulingua – Teaching Spanish via children’s stories and tons of cool features! Games, recording for pronunciation practice, bilingual or Spanish-only narration, and more.
- Parla – A very full app with tons of features to learn all aspects of Spanish!

- Conjugato – Similar to Conjuu (in that it is a verb conjugation guide), but a bit more simple.

Games:
If you want to play some fun games in Spanish on your phone, there are two easy ways!
The first is to just switch your phone language to Spanish. This will often automatically switch quite a few apps to this Spanish (even ones where there are no visible language settings!).
The other option is to go to a specific game’s settings and then switch the language manually! Many apps have this capability and then you can play your favorite games in Spanish.
Picking word games or games with a lot of text is ideal, as you can train your language skills much more than a typical game with only visuals and little to no text.
Podcasts:
Most of these links are for Spotify. If you do not have Spotify, no worries, you can find some of these via other platforms!
If one podcast appeals to you, just search it online and you should find another listening option that will work for you 🙂
