I'm an American who has been studying Spanish through Duolingo. It's a great free iPhone app, but there's an issue: it gives no context or background when dealing with grammar! No verb tables or real in-depth lessons. Everything is immersive and the technical part of learning a language is left by the wayside, so to speak. I started to learn Italian at 8 years old through mandatory instruction in school and studied for many years this way from elementary school through high school, so I am very comfortable with the traditional way of learning a language. However, I don't want to pay for lessons and sit through a classroom, so I'm wondering if any of you might be able to recommend some textbooks or online resources for Spanish grammar. I'd also be interested in any apps that are a little more fleshed out than Duolingo.
I have been considering changing my base language and learning Spanish through Italian. I'm not sure how well that would work out, but I'm willing to experiment. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for reading!
