Hi all,

I want to try to learn Spanish on my own, right now I barely know anything. Asking in the libre culture community because I know a common answer is duolingo but I don't want to install an app store other than f-droid.

Hi! I feel overwhelmed with getting started and would like a pointer on a resource I can use as a jumping off point. I've made efforts in the past using wikibooks or reading written Spanish media then running through a translator, but I never really made significant progress beyond learning a tiny bit of vocabulary.

I imagine that once I get even just good enough to read and string together basic sentences it will be a lot easier to make progress, it's the baby steps I've had trouble with.

I think you could first install Anki, which is open source, and get a card collection for Spanish. Take special care with verbs, you might want to find a table of regular verb endings first, so you can look them up.

Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:

Rules

I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.
