The Best Ways to Learn Spanish Online: What to Look for in Online Language Tools

Online Spanish Practice Tools

If you search online for Spanish learning apps, the list seems to scroll on endlessly.

Have you spotted the same issue as us?

We've found that the more advanced your Spanish language level, the fewer apps or websites exist to help you keep progressing or get out of that plateau you've reached.

Apps like Duolingo are popular and a great starting point, but what about once you pass the beginner phase?

Are there still good online tools for self-study that can help with A2, B1, B2, and even C1-level Spanish?

Yes, there are!

To find the tools that'll work for you, we've rounded up four key things you need to look for as an intermediate or advanced learner. Read on for our guide to using them to learn Spanish.

Complement the use of these apps with other effective Spanish practice methods beyond just online tools. Or, if you're looking to create a full-fledged routine, our comprehensive Spanish practice guide has you covered.

1. Corrections

The most basic benefit of using technology to learn Spanish (or any language) is that it's responsive. Unlike a textbook, apps and other online learning tools should correct your mistakes effectively.

Before you sign up for any subscriptions, check out how their corrections and feedback features work. Even with the most advanced materials, does it spot your mistakes accurately and show you how to fix them?

Better yet, when you make a mistake, does that tool show you which lessons cover that topic? Then you'll learn not just how to fix one error but also what you've misunderstood about the topic in general.

2. Direction

While picking what to study may seem simple when you're a beginner, it becomes more overwhelming as you progress.

How are you supposed to know which of the Spanish verb tenses you should study next? You're the learner, not the teacher!

Look for a tool that offers a clear learning plan for you to follow, even at more advanced levels.

Bonus points if this plan is personalised to match your knowledge and pace!

3. Advanced Materials

Switching between different tools can be frustrating.

Instead of balancing several tools and subscriptions, wouldn't it be better to find one service that you can stick with for the long haul?

If so, even if you're only in the beginner phase, we recommend choosing a platform that caters to all difficulties, from A0 to C1 level and beyond!

4. Native Expert Teachers

How good can a language learning tool be if its lessons aren't created by native teachers?

Native teachers aren't just native speakers. They're experts at teaching Spanish.

With years of experience teaching the language in person, they're aware of which topics often trip learners up. They know the best way to explain these subjects to English speakers so that even complicated rules are easy to grasp.

If you want to achieve practical fluency in Spanish, use online tools that are made – not just by native speakers – but professional, experienced, native Spanish teachers.
