I made it my NYR this year to learn a second language and while I picked Russian at first I switched to Spanish for a few different reasons. I’ve been using Duolingo for about 6 months now but have gotten to the point (I’m around A2 if not very early B1 fluency) where I just don’t find it very helpful on its own anymore and the new stuff I learn just doesn’t stick to my mind as good anymore.
I’d like to start incorporating other resources into my learning (which was the plan from the start) but have no idea where to start. I’ve incorporated note writing as well as flashcards into my learning as of a couple months ago, as well as trying to hold basic Spanish conversations with other people, but this is only really effective for perfecting what I’ve already studied.
To anyone who learned Spanish or really any language, do you know of any other resources for learning the language?
Gracias.

Okay, so, use Quizlet for flash cards and adding words. There’s a good app version too.
Also, use Memrise and HelloTalk (HelloTalk lets you chat with other Spanish-speakers; they learn English while you learn Spanish, is the idea, and you can do this with any language).
Quora is… surprisingly good with you want more specific questions answered about the language, like about slang, but if you don’t trust Quora (a lot of people don’t and not entirely for bad reasons) then maybe use Stack as it has been expanding on other question-types for a while now. Otherwise, there are apps for asking questions from native speakers on their countries, how the language works, etc.
I would avoid Anki, even though many recommend it; it’s not as good as Quizlet.
Yes this is exactly what I am looking for, thank you. We used Quizlet in high school and I still use it occasionally and have an account there. As for Quora… yeah, I’ve used Quora Spanish in the past and the content is questionable to say the least. The rest I have not used before and will look into them.
Awesome!
This is everything that I’m using to learn Spanish right now (well, re-learn, since I’m Latinx).
Take care!
