Read a book!
- TPRS Publishing: Contrary to popular belief, the best books for language learners to read are not picture books, but books meant for language learners. TPRS Publishing has books written for language learners. They are mostly $5-$6 each, plus shipping. Make sure you but the Spanish novel, not other, more expensive, resources.
- Library: If you choose to check out books from the library and read them in Spanish, try beginning chapter books like Magic Tree House. You can even get a copy in both English and Spanish so you can follow along and check your understanding.
