Roadmaps
Full Step-by-Step Guided Curriculum for:

Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced

Thank you for downloading your Spanish Learner’s Roadmap and, most importantly, joining our TMIS
Insider’s Community. ¡Estoy muy feliz de tenerte con nosotros!

As a Spanish teacher, I spent a long time teaching the beginner levels. And many students were so
intimidated by starting to learn a new language. But, as you can see in the roadmap, each level
(beginner, intermediate, and advanced) is formed by a clear list of topics that can be classified into 5
categories (you can see them on the roadmap).

The Spanish Learner’s Roadmap I sent to you is yours. This means that you can print it out to put in
your binder, notebook or even pin it up on your wall. Doing this will allow you to check off the topics
as you learn them. Nothing like seeing the progress we make in our endeavors, right?

But, I also recommend you to keep a digital copy on your email or phone. Why? Because the digital
version has some links to my articles, guides and other resources on TellMeInSpanish.com. That way,
if you’re struggling with a topic, you can click on the link and read more about it.

Unfortunately, I haven’t published guides and resources for all the topics I listed on the roadmap
yet. Over time, my plan is to provide you with articles and guides for most of these topics. Just be
patient with me :) Once I catch up, if you’re still on our list, I’ll let you know when there’s a new
article or guide related to the roadmap and I’ll send you an updated version of the roadmap to your
email.

Something you should know about me is that I love Spanish. And over the years, I’ve seen people
struggling to learn this language. My goal with TMIS is to help you and other Spanish learners with
those really challenging topics that - no matter what you do - seem to be impossible to understand.

So, if you’re interested, stay tuned! ¡Gracias de nuevo y nos vemos pronto!
