Duolingo

Duolingo is an online FREE service designed to help its users learn a variety of languages at the users own pace. By being able to set your own pace, users of different skill levels will be able to benefit from the software courses by entering as a beginner or a more advanced user who may already be fluent in a language but may just need a brush-up course. 

In order to use Duolingo you will need to set up a free account with the company and set your goals to determine at which speed you are willing to learn the new language.

Although the site offers a variety of languages to choose from, the Aliento students will benefit the most from the Spanish courses being taught at this website.
