Dictionaries, etc.: ● www.Rae.es This is the authority on the Spanish language (it’s a Spanish dictionary, not a translation ​ dictionary) Also an app. ● http://eubd1.ugr.es/ This is the best translation dictionary I’ve found, managed by the University of ​ Granada in Spain (they have a fantastic linguistics program) ● Forvo.com is a pronunciation dictionary where you can look up a word in various languages and listen ​ to an audio recording of how it’s pronounced. ● Spanish dict - app/dictionary that includes sentences and examples of how the word can be used in various contexts, will also pronounce words and has all the conjugations of verbs.

● Memrise - mostly a vocabulary practice website but there is the ability to create your own “courses” or ​ use other people’s. There are also professional sets made by memrise. ● Quizlet : to study for all kinds of classes and you can add pictures too. There are pre-made sets for the ​ vocab in each chapter of our text. Type in different things like the chapter title or Enfoques ch 1. You can also click the sound button and it will read the word out loud so you can listen and see images as well as the words written out. When you practice you can also choose how you want to study the cards. For example you can choose to have to type out the word or choose from multiple choice, etc. .
