Radio Tango from Buenos Aires - tango music and conversation in Spanish
by
Erin
on Tue 22 Aug 2006 12:00 PM CEST
I know I swore allegiance to Spain's Radio Nacional RNE3 in a previous post, but I've found a great way to mix up both my background music and my Spanish - Radio Tango of Buenos Aires, an Argentinean radio station: La 2x4 FM 92.7
Like RNE3, La 2x4 is easy and free to listen to on the Web. The station plays all tango, all day long, and might be a great choice if you want to tune your ear to Argentinean Spanish, slang and pronunciation. more »

A quick Google search for "Spanish language" this morning led me to the Spanish Language page of Wikipedia. Hours later, I am still browsing and following links. The page is a goldmine of information and links for everything from a list of all the countries in which Spanish is the official language, to handy phrases you can listen to, a detailed pronunciation guide, comparisons with related languages, history and a look at regional versions of Spanish - how you might alter your Spanish-learned Castilian to carry on a conversation in Argentina or Peru. more »

Here are few resources for reading the news in Spanish - from anywhere! (No excuses for not building your vocabulary!)
Spain's El Pais is free online.
El Mundo, also from Spain and also free, offers a translator, and Spanish to English and Spanish to French dictionaries, in case you get stuck along the way.

Here is a picture of a Spanish city, but this time I am not telling you which, so take a guess...Do you know this place? In which city was this picture taken? Do you know where in Spain it is??

If you want to see more pictures you can have a look at the student's photo albums in the don Quijote website.
...I will give you the answer to the mysterious city soon.
