Hello everyone!

I have a parent asking me what their child should do to prepare for Spanish 4 over the summer. I suggested authentic websites such as:

spanishlistening.org zachary-jones.com (has songs, trailers, news reports, etc. in the target language).

I've also suggested watching some Spanish movies or putting subtitles in Spanish when they watch movies. I've also suggested watching telemundo.

Does anyone know of any more sites for students to practice their Spanish? Does anyone know of a good website where students can CONVERSE with other students in the target language? Is there a Skype website or anything?

I'm having a hard time trying to think of what else a student can do to practice his/her speaking in particular.

Any response helps. ¡Gracias!
Al That sounds like a good list already. I'd recommend es.wikipedia.org Or rather, I'd suggest remembering that many Fnglish wikipedia titles have alternate-language entries. This has the advantages that (1) presumably the topic is already of interest to the reader and (2) the English entry or the familiarity of the material provides a leg up. Granted...See More

Ann I would suggest bablingua.com. The "icebreaker" videos are inexpensive (I am going to purchase 8 videos for less than $50.The great thing is that they come with several pages of assignments that cover listening, reading, writing and culture. I have used a few of them already and really like the quality.
