internet resources for learning Spanish

The world wide web makes available a significant supply of good (and less good) resources for learning Spanish.

If you use iTunes, you can download free podcasts for learning Spanish at various levels with a bit of searching.

Email lists devoted to helping one another with the learning process can be found, and can help cultivate valuable relationships useful for not only practice and study, but also for eventually sharing of resources.

I've seen some pretty good blogs about learning & studying Spanish, and some have relatively active communities of readers who offer comments, corrections, and deeper exploration of material.

Some websites offer notes, recordings, quizzes, and other resources to fill your brain with core knowledge.

Depending on your tastes and level of proficiency, you may well be able to find streaming audio and/or video of news, sports, or whatever interests you.

A bit of free advice: If you find a podcast or other resource that interests you but seems to be more advanced than your current level of proficiency, you may want to go ahead & download it for later use. You just have no way of knowing when something cool on the internet will suddenly disappear forever.
