Below are some websites which I have looked at for Inspiration for a language learning website;
STUDYSPANISH - This is quite a good website visually as it keeps to the 'natural' colours of Spain, coming from the Spanish flag such as
Yellow,
Orange and
Red. It also shows 3 pages; Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced which I am thinking of incorporating into my websites. However the complications of that is the over-simplifying of one's comprehension of the language. If I looked at this page, I would be a bit confused as to what level I would be. So maybe putting in a Test Your Spanish on to the website so one can assess which level they should pick if they have previously learned the language.
Babbel- Babbel is also a good site as it is very clear and concise and succinct. There are only 2 main colours; White and Orange. It is
associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. All these things are related to Spain in my opinion. The one bad thing about this website is the fact that there are too many choices and pages to pick. Orange increases
oxygen supply to the brain and therefore produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates
mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. So putting orange as a strong colour on my site might appeal to my targeted audience as this is also a fun learning place.
BBC Spanish- I think out of all the other Spanish sites, this seems to be my favourite.
As you can see in the above picture, it has 3 clear columns with very useful stuff on each which would be very handy for my website however the downside to this is that this page has now been archived and it now no longer updated which is a bad thing as it probably has dated vocab, pictures. 'Current news' isn't very current. Aside from that, this is very good page.
