Spanish Language Transfer Lessons
You know more Spanish than you realize. With Language Transfer you'll learn how to speak Spanish faster by spotting the simple rules which cover most of the Language.
The lessons here are based on the truly excellent work of Mihalis Eleftheriou and you can find the audio versions at the Language Transfer website.
There are 90 lessons altogether as part of The Thinking Method approach to Spanish. I'll be adding my versions here as I get time.
Way down at the bottom you'll also find my notes on the Extra Episodes from YouTube.
