Hello! I've recently picked up learning Spanish because I work with a ton of dudes from Mexico. How much can I reasonably expect to learn from this app? I looked at their "curriculum" and it seems pretty short compared to what I think I'll need. What are some resources beyond "talk to your coworkers", that will put me on the right track?
I would look for a textbook (I keep seeing Madrigal’s Magic Key to Spanish mentioned as a great one) and some simple story books/graded readers. Once you know enough to express yourself a bit, start a journal. News in Slow Spanish seems good for keeping up on current events in easy Spanish but they have a subscription model. Telesur for native level stuff when you feel you're ready.
Weirdly enough, I've been wanting Telesur to put out a podcast for awhile, and I'm just finding out about it now. Thanks for that, I suppose. I'll definitely check that book out as well.
Part of my end goal is to take up freelance translation as an side-income source, which is why I'm stressing written works as well as audio.
