¡Muchas gracias por la información!
¡Hola!
We have come across your very useful list of resources for learners of the Spanish language.
As part of the team that created DELE Ahora (https://deleahora.com), I would like to suggest that you somehow also include it in the list of available resources.
The website already provides a wide variety of resources that could be very useful for your students, all for free:
– Articles on Spanish grammar, vocabulary in Spanish, music, cinema, and hispanic cultural in general
– Lots of Spanish language activities/exercises by level, ranging from A1 to C2, include reading & listening practice
– An online Spanish verb conjugator
– A totally free Spanish online dictionary
– Material especially tailored towards the official DELE diplomas (by Instituto Cervantes)
I believe it would be a very valuable addition to your resources list.
¡Un saludo desde España!
Hola Salvador, thank you for the information on the DELE Ahora, that’s great. I took the ELE teacher’s course A1-C2 and these books look ideal to match up with it for future students. Do you know if I could order them from a UK website if I want to buy the first levels to get a feel for the content? If coming from Spain they could take a while in customs now we have left the EU. Saludos, Vikki
Apologies for the delayed reply but I guess I just spotted your question. 🙂
The books can be purchased from any country (the paperbacks are all available via Amazon, UK too, of course – and the ebooks are available both via the website itself and Amazon).
Btw, we also feature free-to-download samples for each and every one of the books, so that you can have a look and see what they are about.
Feel free to let us know in case you need anything – all questions are more than welcome!
Cheers from Spain!
Thanks a lot. This is a great information. I would like to be in contact with Spanish teachers and be able to share experiences and concerns.
