So if you’re also learning English and are good at multitasking, this is a good one for you! However, learning or reviewing two languages at the same time isn’t optimal. We don’t recommend it because you run the risk of getting pretty mixed up. On the other hand, the upper levels (intermediate and advanced) offer more Spanish than English. This is a good thing if you already have...
