To learn Spanish has been a wish or dream I have had since I was a kid. Now that I am in my mid 60s and retired, I have the time to dedicate to study.
Besides, books, novels and short stories, I also make use of a few websites to read and study Spanish daily. I can't find a place to add these to my "book list" Here are the ones I use frequently.
