I head out for part two of my Camino in 5 weeks. My first walk in June was St Jean to Estella, and part two will be Estella to Burgos (maybe beyond).
Anyway, I did not know any Spanish on my previous adventure, so this time round I am learning the basics using an app called DuoLingo. I am on day 46 so far and I am now getting a real feel for the language and can't wait to read menus etc when I am in Spain.
I was just curious to see if anyone else went down this route?
I used Coffee Break French before walking from Le Puy and found it very helpful.. I just used the free podcasts downloaded to my iPod while I was out on my training walks. There is also a Spanish version that I haven't tried here http://radiolingua.com/cbs-step-1/ if you are interested.
I have been using Rosetta Stone. I have also downloaded all of the coffe break Spanish and listen to them while I walk. They are entertaining and make the walk go bye quickly.For menus, the Marling Menu-Master is your best bet, and it's available in French, German, and Italian as well. Quite small and thin, but absolutely invaluable!
It is more Latin American based.Is the Spanish course the Spanish of Spain or of South America?
