How To Learn Spanish With Magazines

I love learning Spanish with magazines, so in this section, I’ll give you a few ideas of how you can do so.

Here are my favorite ways to learn Spanish with magazines:

• mark words you want to learn with a highlighter
• record yourself reading a text from the magazine and listen to it
• make vocabulary walls
• cut pictures from a magazine and glue them into your language notebook, then describe them in Spanish
• create flashcards

You can take a highlighter and mark the words you want to learn. Translate the vocabulary you highlighted. Then, come back to the text another day and reread it, trying to understand those highlighted words in a context. After, you can record yourself reading the text and listen to it another day.

You can make vocabulary walls out of texts inside magazines. Cut interesting parts, language windows, or small texts from which you want to learn vocabulary, and put them on your wall. Or you can take a notebook and glue those magazine parts into it.

You can also create flashcards with images. Let’s say there is a cool image of a building or something that you like. Cut this image, write a separate word related to that image, and play a pexeso with it.

Spanish language magazines are very benefitial for us because they talk about interesting topics. You can learn a lot of vocabulary without even noticing it.
