Learning Spanish- resources

I’ve started learning Spanish, just using Duolingo. I like that I can do a few minutes here and there. But my pronunciation is terrible and I can’t understand natural pace Spanish.

what else can I watch/listen to/use to improve my language skills without having hours a day to devote solely to learning?

Look for the Coffee Break Spanish podcasts. As the name suggests, they’re not long, & I listened to the Italian ones while running / doing housework / crocheting.

Spanishlistening.org
quizlet/blooket/kahoot etc for testing vocab
bbcmundo for news
newsinslowspanish
tons on Netflix and Prime, and probably Disney
YouTube/spotify for music

Lingopie looks really good although I haven't tried it. You learn by watching TV shows in your chosen language with interactive subtitles.
It's not free but there is a 7 day free trial and big discounts at the moment.

I second Coffee Break. Plus Paul Noble's courses and beginner stories by Paco Ardit on Audible and whatever beginner stuff you fancy on Youtube. The best way to improve your pronunciation is to listen a lot, but it must be beginner material you have a hope of understanding otherwise you will just be wasting your time. Dreaming Spanish is supposed to be good, I'm not sure where it is; probably Youtube.
