5. Youtube<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"YoutubeYoutube has a video for basically anything – from how to perfect the French nasal vowels<\/a> <\/span>to advanced Swahili! It has a wealth of informational videos but you will need to have some patience as quantity doesn’t always mean quality!<\/span><\/p>\n

With LingoTube you can learn languages for free<\/a> through pedagogically organized Youtube videos from the world\u2019s best online language teachers. No more spending hours on YouTube searching for videos! <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Foreign News Websites\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

An integral part of truly learning and appreciating a language is immersing yourself in the culture. A great way to keep up with the culture is to read a newspaper or magazine online in the language you\u2019re studying. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are websites, such as this Libguide<\/a> from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology <\/span>that list specific Spanish news websites, categorized by the Spanish speaking country they originate from. You can now pick up on small dialectical differences between various areas, as well!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Podcasts<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sharpen your listening skills by downloading a podcast in the language you\u2019re learning. The greatest thing about a podcast is that you can listen while you\u2019re doing pretty much anything. Sitting in traffic? Standing in line at the Post Office? Grocery shopping? Why not throw a podcast on!<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning a language doesn\u2019t have to be sitting down and studying grammar for 7 hours a day. The goal is to be surrounded by the language at all times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Connect with Other Fluent Speakers\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are many apps dedicated to language exchange. <\/span>These apps allow the user to connect instantly with a native speaker from a multitude of countries who want to help teach their culture and language. Some also act as a language companion, offering games to keep users engaged and enjoying the learning process. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Buy One – Give One!<\/span><\/h2>\n
