Cool Web Sites for Students

Cool Web Sites for Spanish Students

Do you know about Barbara Kuczun Nelson's site?   If you don't, I bet you'll love it; it's my all-time favorite!  It has both theme units designed around songs and/or video clips as well as grammar drills.

These teachers have developed so many great drill/practices for the Realidades series, so I'm pretty fond of it, too.

Drill-practice of verb forms:
www.conjuguemos.com
Note: THS code is 893 – students can send their results to the language teachers at THS if the teacher has enrolled and used this code.  Nathalie Croft and Catie Thurber-Brown are currently enrolled, as far as I know.

More vocabulary drill practice- you’ll notice many of the games at the Rockwood Schools site are created from the following site.  I, too, have made several which you can find under my name here.
www.quia.com

This site has wonderful proficiency listening comprehension exercises – via progressively more challenging video interviews of native speakers in their own countries. - You can display the words in English or Spanish, or not at all.

Wendy Woodrich's page for her Spanish students at Lewis and Clark College has lots of good links, too. Check out the Resources for Spanish students.

(On a personal note, Wendy is my sister-in-law.  My brother’s web site of his paintings is linked at the bottom under ‘Phil’s Art’ – Check out his Day of the Dead painting.)

Here are some other ones I've found:
