Dreaming Spanish is a web based Spanish learning site where Spanish is used as the teaching language. This immersion approach is the key feature. It also avoids imposing a teaching language.
The very first 'super beginner' level is using a lot of hand gestures, objects and drawings. The beginner level is still very didactic oriented. 'Easy Spanish' (at a much reduced speed) is what an intermediate learner may expect. This is also the level where short stories are introduced. Finally on the advanced level, Spanish speakers with different accents (Argentinian, Mexican, European Castilian ...) only reduce their talking speed as compared to what they would do in colloquial conversation.
On this level you start being functionally fluent: you can speak Spanish about nearly any subject with native speakers. You understand radio and TV and you can read a newspaper. You may still struggle with literature, though a novel seems to get easier once you finished the first chapter ...
There is a complete team of teachers, led by Pablo. A few videos:
