It’s February, so ALMOST time for our semi-annual ‘Free Trial Online Spanish Lesson’ offer on EasyReaders.Org!

The next promotion of this type won’t be until November 2021, so why not take the chance to try an online Spanish lesson (via Skype or Zoom) with one of our friendly mother-tongue teachers, at a cost of exactly ZERO?

Note that our free online language lessons are normally priced at £20 each (you’d pay less per lesson for packs of ten, twenty or thirty 30-minute lesson credits – see prices.)

N.b. You don’t have to buy a lesson to get one free, we won’t even ask for your card details – all we need to organise your Spanish lesson is your email address (which you see, we already have…)

When we receive your order, we’ll email you a brief questionnaire to find out your existing level in Spanish and whether you have any particular needs or preferences for your 30-minute trial.

Be assured – this is a genuinely-free offer! But if you’re uninterested in hearing more about next week’s promotion, SCROLL DOWN NOW and click the unsubscribe link – it takes just seconds to permanently remove your email address from our database.

Offer details:

• The Free Trial Online Spanish Lesson offer begins on Monday February 8th and ends on Sunday February 14th 2021
• There’s no need to actually DO your free lesson that week, just ‘book’ it
• This offer is for NEW STUDENTS ONLY
• After completing your online Spanish lesson, you’ll be sent a 15% discount coupon which gets you a one-time discount on additional lessons, to incentivize you to continue (view prices)
• Besides that coupon, we have four 20%-Off promotions each year (in the spring, the summer, the fall, and at New Year), so most of our regular students pay 20% less than the prices you see in the shop, here

Browse our catalog of Spanish lessons and ebooks, where you’ll also find free ebook downloads for learners of Spanish and certain other languages.

You’re getting this email because, at some point in the past, you joined the mailing list at OnlineSpanishClub.com.

But perhaps you’re no longer interested in learning Spanish, and so won’t want to hear about next week’s FREE Trial Lesson offer (online, 30-minutes one-to-one with a real Spanish teacher, normal price £20!)

In which case, we’d really prefer not to bother you. Please SCROLL DOWN and click the ‘unsubscribe’ link, which you’ll find at the bottom of this article.

You’ll be given the option to permanently remove your email address from our mailing list. It takes just a second or two.

Still here? Excellent!

There’ll be more about the FREE Trial Online Lesson offer next week, when we have everything ready…

In the meantime, though, here’s a reminder about some of the free resources we have for learning Spanish that you might have forgotten about:

• This website, OnlineSpanishClub.com has FREE material for learning Spanish at any level
• DontSpeakSpanish.comis a FREE online beginners’ course comprising fifty or so pages of grammar explanations, exercises, vocabulary lists and listening practice… It’s also ours!
• And not to forget our online shop, which features ebooks for learning Spanish and online lessons with a friendly native-speaker teacher (you can try one FREE, details next week, remember?)

¡Hasta luego!

Learning Spanish?

Then you’ll need to write Spanish characters on your various devices – computer, tablet, smartphone and so on – even if it’s only for instant messaging!

And that can be a pain.

I’m writing this in English, on a computer with an Italian keyboard.

That doesn’t present a problem, as I’m used to it.

But when I switch to the ESP (Spanish) keyboard option, via the icon in the Windows 10 taskbar at the bottom of the screen, what is printed on the computer keys doesn’t always match what I need to type.

There’s that weird upside-down ¿ for example.

And the ñ with the little thingy on top.

Not to mention the ç which looks like it’s running away…

Where are the Spanish characters on my keyboard??

First I have to make sure that I’ve added the Spanish keyboard to whichever device I want to use to write with.

If you haven’t, Google how to do that…

Then I make sure I’ve actually selected the right keyboard, which isn’t usually hard but is easy to forget.

What I should see then, when I type (irrespective of what’s actually written on the keys), is something like this:

And now?

Now, what I plan to do is print out that image and keep it by my computer as I study, highlighting any characters that give me trouble as I go on learning Spanish.

I was on holiday in Spain a couple of times, and learnt to say ‘uno, dos, tres’ but not much more.

That was several decades back, and since then… ‘nada’.

But now?

The world is a smaller place, and Spanish is everywhere!

Moreover, I live in Italy and have more or less mastered Italian.

Spanish is SO similar to Italian in many respects that it seems a shame not to make the effort to learn some.

So, the plan is to make use of some of the great resources now available on the Internet.

I’ll link to the most useful resources from here.

There may also be occasional articles with study tips, and summaries of what I’m learning…
