Mind Your Language I've been studying Spanish on my own since April 2003, and German since March 2007. Here are some helpful resources I have found. ----------Spanish---------- Video The free Destinos 52 lesson video course is available online. Marisol sings "Typical Spanish" Books The best Learning Spanish book I have found is Practical Spanish Grammar. Try some of the dual language books, such as Stories from Latin America. Audio Listen to Marisol (Pepa Flores) tell children's stories in Spanish (right click to download). Good Spanish learning podcasts: Spanish as a Second Language, Notes in Spanish and Cody's Cuentos: Children's Stories in Spanish. ----------German---------- Video Learn German with the 36 episode video series Fokus Deutsch. Books A good German grammar book is The Everything Learning German Book. My favorite German dictionary is the (almost) pocket-sized Oxford Color German Dictionary Plus. Ehrensenf Internet TV show Audio Some good German language learning podcasts are Deutsch – Warum nicht? and MyDailyPhrase - German. Children's stories in German: Der Märchenpodcast and Märchen Abenteuer (the text of many of the stories is at 19th-Century German Stories). Guitar In college, I took some Classical Guitar classes. Now I am learning classical, acoustic and electric guitar. First I went through the Keith Wyatt DVD Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar, and now I am using The Principles of Correct Practice for Guitar book+DVD, the Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar book+CD, the Metal Rhythm Guitar book+CD, and the Easy Steps to Flamenco Guitar DVD. Xue-fei Yang plays Paganini Caprice Vinyl Records While growing up, I listened to a great series of vinyl records for children: Tale Spinners. Here are some other good children's vinyl records websites: Children's Vinyl Record Series and Kiddie Records Weekly. Ysabella Brave sings Mambo Italiano
