Here are some on-campus and online resources that you might find helpful as you study Spanish. Remember as well that there are learning strategies located in additional course materials.

Spanish Club

They have a link to their Facebook page and you can see their Spanish tutoring hours and their conversation hours. They also have a useful resources page. I can’t recommend enough doing conversation hours – the more contact hours you have with Spanish every week, the faster you will learn the language. These conversation hours are for all levels of Spanish.

Language Resource Center

They have links for finding regular conversation partners, streaming international television, reading international newspapers, and a very interesting resource called Yabla. It’s a website where you can watch music videos and other clips that also shows you the text in Spanish and in English. You can slow it down and click on the words for definitions. It’s free for UM students but you have to register for it. Any exposure you can get to the Spanish language, even if you don’t understand everything that is being said, can be helpful. I would rate it second to conversation hours, but still very useful. You can also try searching on Google for online radio stations that broadcast in Spanish.
