Hi to Everyone
My name is Helen and I am new to this site. My partner (Richard) and I are in the process of buying a property on Urb La Marina for our future retirement (we are in our early 50s). Hoping to rent it out at some point. I would like to be able to speak the basics of Spanish so I can at least try and converse. Does anyone know of any good online Spanish courses or reference books etc.
Thanks
Helen

You could try Pimsleur Catalan Spanish it's about $100 for 30 lessons, easy to follow along with also Synergy Spanish, however I would show your interest and see if the offer a free trial as they often drop their prices to get you to buy their stuff.

Duo lingo is free you can download the app, it is a good beginning and builds up your vocabulary and skill.

Duo lingo on line is excellent. I have been using it for some time now. It is very good for revision. You get grammer also.

Thank you for your kind response. I will try a free trial initially. Been advised I don’t really need it on La Marina but would still be nice to grasp the basics. Best wishes, Helen

Hi,
I've just sent a PM to Helen about my Spanish teacher. I cannot post my teacher's email address publicly (forum rules), so if anyone is looking for 1-to-1 Spanish lessons, send me a PM and I'll reply with her email address.
She is located a few minutes inland across the N332 from La Marina.
