This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
I am a queer NY lawyer interested in learning Spanish for social and activist reasons. I created this course to suit my interests and am sharing it so we can can help each other learn. I built this study plan around a great free program called Language Transfer. We will go through their full first level course, supplemented with other language exercises, games, and cultural and political material with a focus on LGBT communities, law, anti-racist organizing, and US involvement in Latin America.
Many people like SpanishPod101 because they have free lessons from different parts of the world, including Peru, Spain, Mexico, and Argentina. Try listening to the three podcasts from the newbie series. Then leave a comment letting us know if you have other favorite Spanish learning podcasts and if you have any questions. Also take a look at other people's comments and try to answer anything you can.
I thought that the first podcast was a little too fast and I listened to it several times, repeating some sections, and was feeling a little overwhelmed. As I listened, though, it became easier and I am feeling very good about learning and hearing more from this series.
