It may be listed here but I could not find it through a search and I cannot get the link function to work for me..weird.

It is free through The University of Texas in Austin, Texas.

Looks neat to me. I would like to hear what the more advanced students think of the videos/etc.

I looked at the "Superior" level grammar notes, and would estimate it to be around B2 at
most. I remember doing these at the beginning of being around B2. Around B1 I remember
the imperfect subjunctive already, but they introduce this in the Superior. In B1 also
there was the subjunctive, which is also in the Superior. They also introduce the «me
duele(n) ....», which I learnt in secondary school in the first year. But still, I
suppose that it is a good foundation base for a beginner to a solid intermediate level,
as a supplement to other sources.

It was interesting as I am no where near intermediate, but I did know many of the words in the Superior category (listed under Vocab). However, when I clicked the native speakers speaking, as happy as I was with myself for knowing much of the vocab, I quickly got a slap of reality. I am miles from understanding what many of them were saying and "Estoy muy lejos de hablando como un nativo."

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

For free A-1 exercises/learning in monolingual Spanish try the Centro Virtual Cervantes Aveteca site. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom for the A-1 exercises. I think you'll find that working in a monolingual environment will be easier and more fun than you think. Give it a try!

The exercises/lessons go all the way through the CEFR levels to C-1--- though that doesn't meant it will teach you to be C-1, just that the exercises/lessons are appropriate for that level. Had to caveat that because somebody will think that and NO course will do that on its own.
