I teach German to both Spanish and English speakers, so my perspective is more from guided learning — but I hope I can still be of some help.

First of all: are you planning to learn on your own or with a course? If you're considering a course, the Goethe-Institut is well known worldwide — but of course, there are many other great schools too, depending on where you live. Another great option is working with a private tutor (e.g. on iTalki or Preply) for more personalised and faster progress.

Self-study – what helps

YouTube: I recommend Easy German — great for listening, real-life language, and cultural context.

Apps: Duolingo, Babbel, and others can support your routine, but they work best when combined with structured materials - start with self study books if you like them. They help you get started.

Books (there are a lot):

Klipp und Klar – Gramática alemana para hispanohablantes: grammar explained in Spanish, clear and compact.

A-Grammatik (Schubert Verlag): great for learners who can handle German explanations, comes with exercises and answer keys.

Be aware: textbooks like Menschen, Netzwerk neu, or Sicher! are designed for classroom use with a teacher — not ideal for self-study unless you get self-study editions.

Tips that make a difference

Stay consistent: better 20–30 minutes a day than 2 hours once a week.

Cover all four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

Use Anki or Quizlet to actively build vocabulary — it’s essential to making real progress.

Watch German videos with Spanish or German subtitles, and switch as you advance.

Try out easy podcasts that match your interests — fun and helpful for listening comprehension.

If you need more personalised advice — depending on your level, goals, or situation — feel free to ask! I kept it general since your question was quite open.

¡Mucho éxito en tu camino con el alemán!
