What it actually is

The Spanish government's own language institute publishes a large free library here — the Rayuela interactive exercise bank, the daily Rinconete culture column, translation and neologism blogs, and teaching materials. It is a sprawling, badly-signposted site rather than a course, so come with a specific goal. The paid AVE Global courses are the Institute's structured offering; everything under cvc.cervantes.es is free.
