In the past two years, my interest in the Spanish language has grown almost at the same level as my interest in Japanese. During my studies, I have found multiple interesting resources and I wish to share them with you. I have always valued good resource recommendations from others, so I wanted to make my own list of recommendations. I hope this will be helpful to other language learners out there.
This blog post will be updated every time I discover a new resource and thus it will evolve with my own Spanish studies. So keep this page bookmarked!
YouTube
In my opinion, the best free resource that one can find is YouTube. Especially for a universal language such as Spanish, there is a lot of content out there. Here you can see my list of channels that I use (or have used) to learn Spanish. Obviously, everyone has their own taste in content and subjects, so the channels under ”native content” are a personal choice of mine. If you are also into language learning, reading, literature, books, horror and philosophy, then you probably will enjoy this list as well.

Reading in Spanish
Reading in your target language is one of the most effective activities that you could do. I would suggest to start with this as soon as possible. However, choosing the right book can be a challenge, especially at a beginner level. I would advise you to pick an easy book, for example, children’s stories or non-fiction about a subject that you know well. If you are already familiar with the story and maybe have read this book in your mother tongue, then the reading process would be less difficult. An app like ”LingQ” could also help you to start out with reading easy and understandable content.
I started out with ”Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal”, it was still challenging of course, but being familiar with the story really helped me a lot. Another book that I would recommend is ”El Principito” by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. This book is aimed at a younger audience, but due to the interesting plot and a deeper meaning, an adult is able to appreciate it as well. The story is very famous and has been translated into 505 different languages!
