A short lesson:

I like this site because it includes audio recordings so you can listen to as well as see the words. It also gives a lot of examples. At some point you have to pay to use the site but you can usually view a few pages before it requires payment. You can even record yourself speaking the sentences and then review it.

A superlative/comparative quiz:

I like being able to test my comprehension with a quiz.

Video and follow up quiz:

This site is great because it gives a video lesson and then you can take the follow up quiz to see if you understood. (You have to do the free 5 day trial to take the quiz, though).

I like this lesson on comparisons because it begins exclusively with listening. I tend to rely heavily on my ability to read, so focusing on listening is helpful for me. And it gives space for interaction with the lesson even though it's a video. The only issue is the voices are a little weird / awkward.

I like this video because you learn the basics, and there are pictures. The examples are written and spoken out, which helps me with comprehension.

Here is a little study quiz if anyone wants extra practice on superlatives. There are also other Spanish grammar quiz options on the left side bar. I like little quizzes like this because they are short but give me the opportunity for a bit more practice on topics that I may be struggling with. Hope you guys like it, too!

The descriptions and examples that are used in this video are very helpful. It gave more of a clarification on how to form a comparative sentence.

I like to quiz myself, because it helps to cement the things I have learned. Different quizzes also show me many different sentences that can be used and how to properly say them. I also am a gamer, so I found a site that has Spanish games on it. There are different categories of what to quizzed with, so for here I choose equality 1 as the category, and then proceeded to try to destroy the other tank by correctly answering questions. :D

I like this website because I feel that the rigor and quality is appropriate for college students. There are exams to practice with to assess your level. Since it is publish by a university, I feel it is quite accurate.

I actually used the same site as the relative pronouns, but studyspanish.com has all kinds of lessons. It works really well for people who learn best by repetition and quizzing, and it separated comparatives and superlatives so you can focus on studying one at a time.

This you tube video sums up relative pronouns in a well, easy to understand way. I liked how he drew out each relative pronoun. Although he covers a little more relative pronouns that we haven't done yet such as quienes and lo que, but the way he draws it out and explains it really helped my understanding.

I love the way that this video teaches comparatives and superlatives.
I enjoyed watching the person writing and drawing what he was teaching and found that the pace was perfect for learning. The drawings were great and his handwriting is superb.
The examples he gave were helpful and it was obvious he put a lot of thought in how to make the video. Hope you enjoy!

I find the formulas to be most helpful in understanding how to construct sentences, so I thought this picture with all of the formulas in one place was helpful to consolidate what all the formulas are and how they are different.

I thought this video worked super well to describe comparisons in particular, and the channel has tons of fun videos that help illustrate Spanish concepts. The visual of the guy drawing also is fun to watch while listening to the clear explanation.

This resource not only helped to explain the comparative and superlatives in Spanish, but furthermore in English. It assisted me with better understanding of the importance in using these words as a way to expand and improve your ability to read, write, and speak in detail that is more efficient and cleaner when communicating in Spanish.

Comparative/Superlative Adjectives in Spanish Grammar (lingolia.com)

This article is helpful because it provides definitions for how comparative and superlatives work in language in general and then goes on to describe them specifically as they operate in the Spanish language. It provides examples for comparatives, superlatives, absolute superlatives, and irregular superlatives as well as words that have spelling exceptions when they change form.

This is a great video that demonstrated not only the basic structure of comparisons and superlatives spoken in Spanish. I really enjoyed the different level of the speakers and the Spanish subtitles so we could follow along. It was great for learning new words and comparing physical characteristics.

This site uses a lot of simple but effective examples, and essentially uses the same sentence to demonstrate the differences between, e.g. best and better, bad and worst.

This website (study.com) is very helpful because there is an explanatory video which also incorporates examples. Then, there are quizzes that you can take afterwards to test yourself.

Great video with helpful pronunciation.

This article provides a useful summary of how to form imperatives and superlatives, as well as how to use them. I like this resource because it reads less like a textbook and more like someone just describing it to a friend. I find that makes it much easier to digest and remember!

¡Hola! I like using conjuguemos for a lot of my Spanish practice outside of class. For comparisons and superlatives it is a fun way to test your knowledge and in the end it gives you a grade. While grades can be stressful I feel like in this case it is nice because it makes it easy to track your progress!
