If you’re on a limited budget, then learning Spanish for free probably sounds like your best option. It can be very difficult to afford enrollments in expensive Spanish-language classses, or to afford dozens of videos, books, and audio CDs! The good news is that there are ways to learn Spanish for free (or at least get started).

The first, and most obvious way to learn Spanish for free is to seek the help of friends or family members who are Spanish speakers. You might exchange something for their help and their time. The chances are very good that they will be overjoyed that you are showing an interest in learning their language.
