Community Language Lab

This site is great. It conjugates verbs in all tenses laid out very nicely all on one page (I've only checked the Spanish verbs), and has a very in- depth English to other languages dictionary that includes many words AND colloquial phrases, and a forum for when you are really stuck. Check it out. Languages include Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese.

Don Quixote.org has lots of great resources:  weekly exercises sent by e-mail, a verb conjugator, dictionary, jokes, lyrics, grammar, links to Spanish-language media, and more.  It's free to become a member; pruebelo!

Starting Spring quarter there will be a conversational Spanish group that meets every Monday from 4-5pm.

Come hang out with our Spanish tutor, Christie.

It'll be a grand old time!
