Paso por Paso is an interactive site where students and educators come together to immerse themselves in Spanish language study. While there are many etexts available for foreign languages, Paso por Paso stands apart because it offers an organic approach to second language acquisition. It is also user-friendly with a simple registration process.
Paso por Paso was created by professors with the idea of native English speakers or other second language acquisition learners in mind. Rather than mimic the process of learning one’s native language, Paso por Paso emphasizes the problematic areas that native English speakers encounter when learning Spanish, such as the preterite, imperfect, and subjunctive tenses, reflexive verbs, and the difference between ser and estar. Paso por Paso’s activities are directed towards an adult audience, so learners will not find games meant for children, or the expectation that they are in high school or college. Instead, Paso por Paso incorporates specialized vocabulary such as medical terms, an in-depth listing of professions and subject matter, animals, and countries and cities. In addition to this, Paso por Paso is oriented towards learning tenses; without a verb, one cannot have a sentence. Whether you are learning a language on your own or within the structured environment of a university or community college, you will learn Spanish paso por paso (step-by-step).
