Sitio popular recomendado por los estudiantes



Finalmente puedo actualizar el blog y volver a la “normalidad”. Mis problemas con los computadores están  casi solucionados y mi curso casi terminado ( İy… aprobado!)
Hoy quisiera recomendarles un sitio que algunos de mis estudiantes usan para sus estudios de español FLUENCIA
Aquí les dejo la descripción.
Hello everyone,
I can finally update the blog and return to my "normal” routine. My problems with computers are almost resolved and I’ve “almost” finished my course (and I’ve approved it!)

Today I recommend a site that some of my students are using to improve their Spanish. FLUENCIA . See below for the description.

 
“Fluencia is an online based platform that teaches Spanish through a highly visual method. So instead of a lot of text, there are a lot of visual aids to guide the learning process.

There are five levels for Fluencia, with 10 units per level. Within each unit, there are various types of lessons covering a conversation, vocabulary, grammar, culture and communication.

It’s really a mix on how the lessons are presented. At times, there are conversations you can hear and follow along, there are also places where you have to type the translation of an English phrase, and there are places where you match the picture with the correct Spanish phrase.

The platform itself is very intuitive and easy to use. There are also lots of pictures and visual aids cleverly weaved into each lesson”.
