Today during class I planned to go on the BBC website in order to catch up on some basic Spanish. I felt this website was really useful as it taught me a lot of good vocabulary and some good sentences. The website I think works very well because it teaches you the words and makes you do activities so they stay in your mind. Also the fact that it uses sound files helps with the pronunciation and gets you used to listening to Spanish. A negative point was that a some of it was a bit different than what the rest of the class had learned but that was more my error of choice, had I picked a more relevant topic from the list I'm sure this would not have been a problem! For the last ten minutes just to change it a little I went on a newspapers website and tried to read a soccer article about a famous player on international duty, to be perfectly honest I understood next to nothing I understood only a few things due to my knowledge of soccer not my knowledge of Spanish.
