About
Visual link Spanish™ is the revolutionary way to learn Spanish. Rather than focus on mind-numbingly boring grammar rules (they are important, don’t get us wrong) we focus on teaching you to form sentences. Allowing you to actually communicate. We teach you to understand what you need to know to learn Spanish, and actually speak it. You can try it here for free. Notice that at the end of that lesson, you can already form and understand basic sentences.
Here on our blog you will find all sorts of great information to help you in your language learning endeavours. From cultural tips to help you fit in while visiting a foreign country, to learning tips, and even sneak-peeks on the next latest and greatest products from Visual Link Spanish ™. Also, from time to time, there will be opportunities for you to give feedback on new things we are doing here. Anytime though, you can have your say in the comments; tell us what you love, what you hate (but please be nice, we are people too!), and anything else that might help all of us in our journey to Spanish Mastery.
I am trying to learn Spanish and so far I have been on my own. I am receiving you newsletters and sample lessons. Today I was reading your cultural theme for Gordo and Gorda. I found it very interesting and instructive the way you had laid out the setting to explain the words. I mean putting the text both in spanish and English. Well done! Moreover, I have found your overall technique very educational. In a nutshell, you are doing a wonderful job. Your cultural notes are fantastic and really hit or drive home.
Please let me know if there are some children’s magazine like Sesame Street magazine in English. I would like to start reading some of those children’s magagzine. Moreover, how can one go to Mexicno and live with a family for six months and learn the language and come back. I am an american citizen and 64 years old.
I’m glad you’ve found our newsletters and cultural hints useful! I’m not sure about children’s magazines, but Think Spanish is a useful magazine that we endorse. Here is a link if you’d like to know more about them.
http://www.spanishprograms.com/catalog/#thinkspanish It’s not a children’s magazine but the reading shouldn’t be too difficult and will probably be more interesting than a children’s magazine. I did a quick search for children’s spanish magazines and came up with at least one that looks interesting: http://www.latinalista.net/hazlo/2008/01/one_mothers_quest_to_create_a.html
I don’t know of any exchange programs for anyone besides high school or college students, but you may be able to find something like that. You can find just about anything on the web. Hope this helped!@vaji
Hi Guys ,
I`ve just ordered your single disc in the hope it will give me a “flavour , ” and taste for your course .
I have noticed one thing : the way the letter ” c ” is pronounced in Spain with a ” th ” sound , whereas your Latino speakers pronounce it more like the English ” s. ”
Are they anymore differing regional pronunciations I should be made aware of .
Is your course appropriate for someone ,who has a little Spanish , that will be using the language solely in Spain ?
I find myself still saying the ” th ” sound rather than the ” s. ” sound . A penny for your thoughts….
Geoff,
Thanks for your question. The Visual Link Spanish course you have purchased will work well even though you are going to Spain, where the accent is different than what you may be accustomed to. You will also find that in Spain that the “vosotros” form is used. There may be a few words that mean different things in Spain, but other than the “th” sound and the vosotros form everything is basically the same. Here is a link to a previous blog post that will explain this a little better. http://www.spanishprograms.com/blog/2009/06/culture-regional-variations-in-spanish/ Hope this helps!
