The phrase "learn Spanish lessons" always brings to my mind memories of boring textbooks, less-than-sympathetic teachers, and being forced to converse with other kids about topics that none of us cared about in a language we barely understood. The good news is that language lessons are nothing like that anymore! The one thing that changed all of this forever was the advent of the internet. It is simply not necessary these days to sit in a classroom learning formal lessons with an instructor.

The internet has given us constant access to a plethora of Spanish tutorials, lesson plans, software, learning games, vocabulary lists, songs, books, videos, etc. There is no end to the opportunities which can be found by anyone who is looking.

With all of this information readily available, the question now is how to choose the best lessons for you. The three questions you'll need to answer in order to find what will suit you best are 1) recognize your learning style 2) determine the amount of time you have available, and 3) which medium will work best logistically.

Everyone has their own unique learning style. You may be a mix of two, but most people have one style which describes them best.

There are visual learners (those who learn best by looking at or reading a lesson), auditory learners (those who learn best by listening to others speaking), and tactile learners (those who learn best by actively participating in a hands-on manner).

Discovering your learning style will help you find the learn Spanish lessons that will suit you best. If you're not sure which one sounds the most like you, there are several free quizzes online to help you find out which style you are.

If you are a visual learner, books or software that can be read on the computer will be best suited to you. Even reading simple books in Spanish (such as children's books) will improve your knowledge. Looking at a picture with a Spanish caption and trying to determine what it says is a fun game for visual learners. Again, use the abundant resources available online.

Auditory learners will learn well by listening to CDs, tapes, or software that includes audio files. Listening to an English conversation followed by the same conversation in Spanish can be helpful. You may find it beneficial to watch Spanish videos with dialogue, such as Spanish soap operas or movies. There are many lyrics online to simple Spanish songs. Singing these songs can help you remember words and phrases.

Of course, for a tactile learner, visiting a Spanish-speaking country and learning by immersion in the culture and language is the absolute best way to learn. Many people, however, don't have the option of traveling whenever or wherever they want to go.

Instead, try playing Spanish games, such as those that are often found in Spanish learning software packages. You may try posting a wanted ad for a person whose main language is Spanish and is trying to learn English. You will undoubtedly be brought to a higher level of understanding and knowledge just trying to converse and communicate with one another.

Learning styles aside, you'll need to find learn Spanish lessons that meet your time availability requirements and logistical needs. Not all Spanish programs are created equal in these areas. Some packages or courses demand more of your time and effort; and some travel well and are easy to fit into the small gaps of time you have in between other activities.

If sitting down each day and spending a set amount of time learning appeals to you, you might want to look into a video series with a workbook. If your ideal format includes learning on the go, you might want to find some CDs or a software package with audio files that can be put on your ipod and taken anywhere.

Software, in my opinion, is the most flexible format because it often has audio files, visual tools, tests, games, and cultural information that can be broken up and each part used individually as it fits your schedule and needs.

I hope this guide has helped you determine how to find which learn Spanish lessons that will best work for you. Even if your final choice doesn't seem to work at first, don't be discouraged. You can always try different learn Spanish lessons or programs. If you keep your eye on the goal, I know you'll be speaking Spanish fluently before you can say "¡Bob es su tío!"
