I'm wanting to start learning Spanish, and I'm looking for a free option that isn't Duolingo.

I don't like the gamey fomo aspect of it.

Anyone have a favorite place they found?

To practice listening, dreaming Spanish has a ton of videos spoken slowly for different levels. There's a YouTube channel and a website: https://www.dreaming.com/spanish

I love Dreaming Spanish too! So far I have 150 hours on there.

This is how I got to fluency over the last 2 years. Highly recommend.

It's paid once you get to intermediate level, but the beginner stuff is nearly all free

I don't think so. There's definitely free stuff all the way to the top, maybe less of it.

At least when I did it.

Huh, didn't realize that. They definitely have some intermediate videos on YouTube for free but I guess not as many as on their page.
