1. CARTOONS
   
   Spanish is a fun language, but especially so for those who learn Spanish free online. Beginning Spanish lessons are the most engaging and effective. Many of them have been designed for children. They are colorful, creative, and often quite funny.
   
   Look to popular Spanish speaking characters for children. Cartoons like "Dora the Explorer" focus on helping children grasp the basics of Spanish speaking. In Dora's case, Nickelodeon provides numerous online games designed to help children acquire the fundamentals of speaking Spanish and learn to use them correctly. The games are offered free by the creators of the series.

2. YOUTUBE
   
   YouTube is one of the greatest learning tools available online. If something exists on video, it is likely available for free on YouTube. You can learn Spanish free online simply by searching for lessons on YouTube. Popular language series, such as Muzzy and Rosetta Stone, are available in excerpts and examples on the site.

   Once you have finished playing games and watching free Spanish videos, it's time to put your skills to the test. Look for Spanish speaking forums online. Try to find those designed for social interaction as the language will likely be easier to comprehend.
   
   Posting in a forum is a great way to test your Spanish as it will allow you the time to read, comprehend, plan, and respond without pressure. The more you read and post, the better your Spanish will become.
   
   However you choose to learn Spanish free online, remember that the more lessons you take, the more games you play, the more videos you watch, and the more you attempt to use your skills in forums, the more fluent your Spanish will be.
