Today will be the day that I commence my Spanish Steps Online Course. After reading the Online User Guide, I have a far better idea of what is involved in the course.

Firstly, Spanish Steps is a step-by step online tutorial teaching beginners phrases that would hopefully get them around Madrid. Most of the course uses a slideshow layout, which displays as well as sounds out key Spanish phrases.

There is also a notable feature of being able to print out transcripts. As my Learning Style Preference is Read/write, I will probably find this feature very useful in aiding me to learn the basics of Spanish.

Afterwards, there are a few activities that the Learner can complete to further reinforce their learning. The activities involve re-arranging conversations with each slide, guessing the meaning of Spanish words, listening to words and grammar related to the unit and many other activities. You can also play an online game at the end of each unit which challenges you to use the Spanish that you learnt from the course unit.
