5 Ways to Ensure Effortless Language Learning
Here’s 5 ways to incorporate Spanish into your everyday routine to make language learning effortless. For the purposes of this, we’ve left Duolingo off this particular list because everyone knows it and we wouldn’t call it effortless.
1. Toucan
Toucan is a browser extension that reads the web pages as you surf and automatically changes some words into the language of your choice. With hover tips on the words themselves, in-browser games, and more, you’ll be learning new words in no time.
2. Podcasts
Podcasts are a great way to get better at listening comprehension and something to do when you don’t or can’t look at a screen. Duolingo has some very well done podcasts that incorporate Spanish and English in a nice balance so even if you don’t catch everything, you’ll be able to understand it. Even better with apps like Stitcher, you can slow down or speed up the podcast based on your skill level.
3. LangLandia
We’re a little biased of course, but LangLandia is an actual game to learn Spanish. Training your beast, battling against other players, and exploring the LangLandia world ensures you’re able to get the hardest part of language in – the repetition.




4. Netflix
You’re familiar with Netflix – but have you taken advantage of the Spanish shows available? Everything from cooking shows tv like Nailed It (Mexico) to awesome series like Money Heist and movies like The Platform and The Invisible Guest. Watching Spanish content is a great way to hear the language – challenge yourself and watch a show with Spanish subtitles.

5. Change your Settings
Most people average 30 apps on their phones. Within each app, users can often control the settings. Flip a couple to Spanish and as you get more comfortable, continue flipping more! It may be a little hard at first, but the brain is a marvelous thing and you’ll be able to adjust in no time!.
