For a full description of each Spanish lesson, please refer to Spanish Lesson description page. To learn more about how to customize and use the Spanish language tool, visit the language tool page.
Starting Your Spanish Lessons
Before you begin using the Spanish language tool, turn on your computer's volume so you can listen to the Spanish language audio via your computers speakers or personal headphones. You can choose between four different options for how to use the Spanish language tool to learn Spanish. To select your option, press the CUSTOMIZE button on the right hand side of the Spanish language tool. If you do not select an option, you will simply use the default option to learn Spanish.
Spanish Language Grammar Tips and Comments
The Spanish language grammar tips and comments are not included in each sentence screen, they are merely used as a guide when necessary. When a grammar tip is longer than you can see on your screen, use the scroll bar to the right to scroll down. Some of the Spanish lessons are introduced via audio commentary in English which gives you further instructions on how to use each particular Spanish lesson.
Choosing Your Level Of Difficulty
To most effectively learn Spanish, choose the Spanish lesson best suited for you in the drop down menu on the top left hand corner of the Spanish language tool where it says JUMP TO. The top right hand corner of your screen displays which Spanish lesson and sentence you are currently on. Spanish lessons gradually get more difficult. If you are new to learning Spanish, start with Spanish lesson 1. There are 63 Spanish lessons to choose from. Each Spanish lesson contains between 500 and 1000 Spanish sentences.
Listen And Repeat To Learn Spanish
Once you have chosen your Spanish lesson, you will see sentences and hear audio in the order you choose. After hearing each Spanish language audio, repeat what you heard in Spanish as closely as possible to the Spanish language audio you heard. Press the NEXT button to get to the next Spanish sentence and continue through each Spanish lesson as long as you wish to continue. Once you have started a Spanish lesson, you can also start using the arrow keys on your keyboard instead of using your mouse to click NEXT and BACK each time. If you want to hear a sentence again, simply point your mouse to the REPEAT button and you can repeat that particular Spanish sentence as many times as necessary.
The Foreign Service Institute Method
Loquella's language tool uses the method and material used by the Foreign Service Institute to teach you Spanish. This method is based on "over-learning" and uses "guided imitation". The Spanish lessons contain a number of drills that are used to teach you Spanish so it will really stick in your mind. Although some say that language drills are boring, there is no other method that is more effective if you truly want to learn and remember the Spanish language. The Foreign Service Institute developed this method and material to teach diplomats and other government officers new languages to be used while they were abroad on assignment.
