Paul and I have been working on our Spanish for a long time now. We’ve written about the various strategies we’ve used before, just click on the label Language to the right to see our previous entries.

Currently we are taking Spanish lessons twice a week and doing a lot of homework. We watch TV in Spanish. Most transactions are in Spanish. Workers who come to the house speak Spanish. We really are working as hard as we know how on our Spanish. But our one frustration was that we need more conversation practice without making our neighbors run the other way when they see us!

Our Spanish teacher suggested buying comic books….because they are basically all conversation. I bought three and we have browsed through them but I haven’t worked too hard at them yet. (Hmmm, work hard at a comic book? I am ashamed!)

But I thought I would turn you all on to a web Spanish tool that we signed up for today. LoMásTV. Above is a print screen of their home page.

There are tons of videos that are really amazing. Below is a print screen of their video page. The video is written out as the person speaks in Spanish and English. You can click on any word for a definition. You can make it play slower. All the videos are rated by difficulty. They also indicate where the speaker’s accent is from.

They also have lessons and accompanying video. Below is a screen of the first page of their lessons.

Paul and I have only used it for an hour this afternoon, but I think it is going to be a great addition to what we are already doing. Six months use cost $55.00 us.

I am not receiving anything from LoMásTv in exchange for this post. Just thought you would like to know about another cool tool out there. Check out their demos and see for yourself.
