Each Spanish lesson consists of 4 interactive learning activities and includes full audio by a native Spanish speaker plus the written text for every item of vocabulary introduced. There are 2 levels of Spanish lesson available, beginner and intermediate.

Beginner lessons

The language in our beginner lessons has been carefully selected for children and adult learners beginning Spanish for the first time. Each beginner lesson introduces the learner to 10 related words and phrases. The lessons available include "Family members", "Pets", "Numbers to 10" and 53 more! In the MFL classroom, these lessons are suitable for:

UK: pupils at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (KS1 and KS2) Primary school

USA: pupils from first grade to fifth or sixth grade Elementary school

Canada: pupils from Grade 1 to Grade 5 Elementary school

Australia: pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 Primary school

Other countries: primary pupils between the ages of 5 and 11

Intermediate lessons

Our intermediate lessons are aimed at learners who have already started studying Spanish. They are suitable for more advanced adult learners and for pupils between the ages of 11 and 16. Each intermediate lesson introduces 20 items of language. These lessons include more short Spanish sentences in addition to words and phrases. The intermediate lessons include "Daily routine", "Places in town", "The environment", and over 50 other secondary lessons. At school, these lessons are suitable for:

UK: pupils at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (KS3, KS4) including GCSE revision

USA: pupils from sixth grade to ninth or tenth grade Middle and High school

Canada: pupils from Grade 5 or 6 to Grade 10 Middle and High school

Australia: pupils from Year 6 to Year 10 upper Primary and Secondary school

Other countries: secondary pupils between the ages of 11 and 16

The 4 activities in each of our Spanish lessons progress step by step to help you the beginner gradually master the topic vocabulary. These activities are based on "3 stage questioning", a method of learning that quickly and easily builds your confidence as you work through a short series of lesson activities that strengthen your knowledge of the Spanish that you want to learn.

When you have completed the lesson for a topic, you should try some of our Spanish games before finally doing the test for your chosen topic. See the Help box below for detailed instructions on how to use our lessons to help you learn your Spanish more easily.

How to learn Spanish with free lessons at Spanish Games

Introduction to the Spanish topic

You start the lesson with an activity that introduces the Spanish words or sentences you will be learning. You will see a set of pictures one at a time, and for each picture you will see the written word and hear the Spanish audio for that picture.

You can repeat the audio for the picture by clicking on the brown telephone sign to the left of the picture. Move between pictures using the arrow buttons at the bottom. Say the words after you hear them. Also write down the words you see on the screen. Writing down the words a few times will help you to remember the vocabulary much better than just saying it.

Yes or No? lesson activity to learn Spanish

In this activity, you will be shown the pictures one at a time. A voice will ask you whether this is a picture of... then play the Spanish audio and show the written Spanish words. You must decide whether these words match the picture or not. If you think they do, press the tick button. If you think the words are for a different picture, press the cross button.

If you are right, you get a gold star. If you are wrong a sign appears telling you what the correct answer was, and you get a red star with a cross. You can roll over these stars (gold for right, red and white if you got it wrong) to check the language for the items you got right / wrong and to see the text again for that item.

Either / Or lesson activity to learn Spanish

This activity moves on from the "Yes / No" activity and offers you two possible answers to each question. So, you will see a picture then a voice will ask "Is this a picture of... or is it a picture of ..." and you will have to choose which of the answers is the one that matches the picture.

You choose an answer by clicking on the written words for that answer. You can play the audio for each answer again by clicking on the brown telephone button beside the written answer. The program will let you know each time whether you answered correctly. The Full lesson gives you 10 questions in the order that you learned them. The Quick refresh mode (flash version only) shows you 5 random pictures from the topic you are studying. At the end of the activity, you can choose whether to repeat it or move on to the next one.

What is it? lesson activity to learn Spanish

The final activity in the lesson shows you many possible answers for each question and you must choose the correct one. You are shown a picture and below it are a list of possible written answers from this topic. Rolling over an answer will play the Spanish audio for that answer. For each picture, click on the writing that matches the picture. The program will tell you whether you are right or not.

The Full lesson will show you 10 pictures in the order that you learned them. The Quick refresh mode (flash only) will show you 5 random pictures from the topic. The written answers are always in the order that you learned them in the Full lesson.

When you complete the "What is it?" activity, you can choose whether to go on to play some games with this topic, or whether you want to repeat some or all of the activities in this lesson. You should expect to get 8/10 answers correct in most of the activities before going on to play the Spanish games for this topic.

Sharing the Iberian Peninsula with Portugal, Spain ( España) is a southwestern European country, comprising two large archipelagos - the Canary Islands (the main ones being Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura), off the African coast, in the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Balearic Islands (the four largest being Mallorca, Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera) in the Mediterranean Sea - as well as the cities of Melilla and Ceuta, in the North African mainland.

The weather conditions vary across different parts of Spain: the Mediterranean climate, with warm to hot, dry summers, prevails in the Balearic Islands and mainland Spain, although the northern part of the country has both oceanic and continental characteristics, with snow in the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada, very popular ski resort locations. On the other hand, the Canary Islands enjoy a subtropical and desertic climate, thus being ideal beach resorts.

Spain is Europe's fourth largest country in terms of area, being the second largest in the European Union. Although Castilian Spanish is the official language nationwide, the country's 17 autonomous regions result in a multitude of regional languages, such as Basque, Catalan and Galician, to name only a few. Spain's population is approximately 48 million inhabitants, most of which are Roman Catholic. Being a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, the Royal Palace, the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, is one of the best-known symbols of Madrid, the country's capital and largest city. For art lovers, another must-see is the Prado Museum.

Overall Spain is a nation with a great historical and cultural diversity: cosmopolitan Barcelona, in Catalonia, is known for Gaudí's architecture, including the Sagrada Familia church; Segovia has the medieval castle of Alcázar and a Roman aqueduct; Valencia, the country's third most populated city, houses the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences; Seville is known for the flamenco dancing; Zaragoza has a baroque basilica, and Málaga is famous for the ruins of a Roman theatre. Either you want to visit all of these cities or only a few, we recommend that you hire a car.

If you want to go from mainland Spain to one of the several islands, just try the different live streaming cams.

It's never been a better time to study languages with hi-tech teaching to boost grades and employers saying language qualifications give candidates the edge. One leading language expert shares 8 reasons why opting for a language at GCSE and A level is the smart choice

Language learning in schools, colleges and universities has hit the headlines for the wrong reasons of late. A recent report by the British Council flagged "serious disruption" to language teaching during the Covid school closures, and it's already been announced that oral exams will be dropped from GCSE and A level assessments in 2022.

But as schools and pupils adapt to a greater emphasis on hybrid learning, it's actually never been a better time to study languages. We're seeing a growing take-up of languages and this summer saw record numbers of pupils gain a Spanish A level for the second year in a row. The government is getting behind the trend and wants 75% of pupils to take a modern language GCSE by 2022 and 90% by 2025.

Languages are set to get a long overdue boost and the way pupils learn, engage and adopt languages is accelerating at pace. Schools are adapting to educating a tech-led generation of pupils who have grown up with Google Translate. AI-first technologies, VR learning, Learning Management Systems and real-time progress tracking are just some of the EdTech developments that are resulting in soaring confidence and grades in language labs across the UK.

Employers are also increasingly seeking out candidates with language qualifications, and the rapidly changing global job market means language-related jobs are booming. Throughout my time studying languages in school, Sixth Form and university, the career paths open to me were in teaching, tourism and hospitality. I breezed into a finance job in the City as I spoke five languages but actually knew nothing about finance!

The same applies today - languages give you the edge and help you stand out from the crowd, especially with grade inflation making it harder for employers to distinguish between candidates with high grades across the board.

Languages play a vital part in our personal, academic and future career development. So if you are choosing options for GCSE and A level this year, here's eight reasons why you should 100% considering choosing a language.

8 Reasons To Study a Language at GCSE or A level

'I want a job in tech but employers want me to speak a second language.' This is something we hear often among students at My Language Lab. It might seem counter-intuitive but there's a huge demand for linguists in tech. Billion-dollar companies Duolingo and Quizlet are just a handful of giants that recruit translators, proof-readers and content creators with more competitors joining the scene.

A recent report by employment website Indeed positioned Mandarin at number five in a list of the top ten emerging skills searched for in the tech industry. You'd expect a range of programming languages to be there but China's predominant language ranks highly. This goes to show the impact the world's second largest economy is having on the tech industry.

Covid-19 made 2020 the year of streaming and there's been a huge spike in the need for translation work such as subtitling and dubbing.

German and French were the most in-demand languages for tech jobs in Ireland. Professor Andy Way of Dublin City University School of Computing says: "Many tech jobs see a second language as a desirable skill, putting you ahead of some of the competition. In my field, engineers need the insights from translators to improve their technology in the future. Our systems are trained on data produced by human translators so, without them, we couldn't even begin to do what we do."

"Language skills are very sought after by employers," says economist Pawel Adrjan. GCSE or A Level qualifications in languages open doors for traditional careers but also in digital marketing, social media and sales.

Learning any language can make us more successful working abroad and builds resilience and agility. It provides 'cultural capital'.

Heather Morgan, international economist and serial entrepreneur, describes languages in tech companies: "It's also really helpful if you're thinking about changing careers or want to go to a company that's in a new space, which many tech start-ups are."

We're living in the age of the soft skills, so being good listeners and communicators will not only boost your grades but also give you the edge in side hustles, networking and future life.

Languages give you the edge because they're academically rigorous and challenging to learn and therefore not mastered by many. In applying ourselves to a second language, we improve our aptitude for study itself, especially our listening and communication abilities.

When you learn one language, your brain is hardwired to those specific skill sets and so the next language will actually become that much easier to absorb - your grey matter is actually just built to learn yet another new language.

It's easy to fall back on outdated excuses like "English is the world language" to get ourselves out of trialling our own abilities. It was recently announced that French will replace English as the official working language of the EU. In this increasingly globalised world, languages have become like currency or stock - the more you speak, the higher your value rises.

Every Modern Foreign Language teacher will tell you that language qualifications give you the option to teach. It's worth remembering that in the UK there's still a shortage of MFL teachers, making it a buyer's market and providing a lot more freedom for where you want to settle as well.

Speaking a second language teaches you communication, presentation and soft skills that help you to connect to your audience more. All these transferable skills will give your overall confidence levels a boost, regardless of the scenario. I've trained students for university interviews, internships, work placements and job interviews and we've harnessed these skills to give them a head start and help them stand out from the crowd.

Languages are incredibly valuable in many different ways, and useful. Creative Multilingualism wants to encourage young people in the UK to be ambitious and to think creatively about the career possibilities languages open up.

Languages open doors to lots of different careers. Whether you are learning a language at school or in your community, or if you have a home or heritage language other than English, languages can take you places you don't yet know you want to go. You don't even have to be fluent in a language for it to lead to career opportunities. Learning languages gives you transferable skills; you develop the ability to think creatively, to forge connections between communities, to translate across cultures and identities. Languages give us a sense of who we are and allow us to express and explore ourselves.
