Great free site for learning a little daily Spanish

An awesome new find for me is right up my alley.  I receive a daily email with a new word and sentence in Spanish.  I also have my own word and sentence list on this online site so I can practice whenever I want.  Words are placed in a loop along with their pronunciations and definitions so it's easy for me to move as fast or as slow as I want.  I now review a little Spanish with my morning coffee (cafe solo).  (Can anyone tell me how to make an accent mark on a computer?)

Although I took two years of Spanish in high school, I started at the basic level.  It's easy to remove the words from the loop that I already know.  This site is a great resource for teachers and anyone wanting to learn Spanish online or improve their skills.  

Reviewing and learning new words in Spanish could be integrated into almost any lesson.  The word list and loop could be set up as a classroom set.  The daily email could be on the computer for students to see as they enter the class.  I also like the fact that the sentences are pronounced quickly.  It's much more realistic than the Spanish I learned in my old high school days.

When my grandsons came over on Sunday, I surprised them by answering a few of their questions in Spanish.  They found it amusing and wanted to know the meanings of the words.  Hopefully, we will soon be having some conversations in Spanish.
