This is one of the best Spanish podcasts for intermediate learners. The choice of interviews, the clarity of explaining key frases in simpler Spanish, and the free transcripts…They make wonderful comprehensible input material. Muchas gracias por el trabajo detrás de todo esto! Se agradece mucho. - desde China 🇨🇳

It is a very vocabulary rich podcasts, where everything is explained in great detail and clarity. And most importantly, it is interesting and keeps your attention. The only problem is that he spends a third of each episode talking about his friends language school that I don’t care about and will never go to, and this part is boring. So yeah, can be annoying having to skip ahead and find the precise moment the actual episode starts. But it is well worth the annoyance, because it really is the best spanish podcast. Would rather he just had normal ads like other podcasts, since those are easier to skip past, since they are consistently timed I would say it is a 6 star podcast, but I gotta knock off a star for the 8-10 minute fluff you have to skip past. ;)

This is just a great podcast. Felipe does a fantastic job explaining certain phrases and vocabulary in Spanish in a simple and easy to understand way. This has helped me a ton advance my vocab and improve my listening skills. Gracias Felipe!

this podcast is so underrated. i mean it does have high ratings. but it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. very informative & the topics & people that are discussed are very interesting & well known in the spanish speaking world. i’m a sports fan so i really enjoyed the episodes about Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobli, & Carlos Alcaraz. i also enjoyed the episode about Bad Bunny also. I liked how they used a previous interview from Alcaraz that he did on a seperate podcast & since Alvarez speaks very fast. the narrator broke down his entire interview & dissected it for the listener to understand & on top of all that the transcripts are online for free. thank you very much & keep it up!

The host picks very interesting interviews and helps you, the listener, understand the interviewee’s responses line by line. I recommend this highly to everyone interested in improving their Spanish!

I’m a huge fan of this podcast. While the people being interviewed speak very fast for a basic level learner like me, the host does a great job of providing context and then breaking down what they are saying. The host speaks slower (still pretty fast) but repeats himself and moves at a pace to make things understandable. He’s a good teacher. The interviews are generally very interesting and teach us about some parts of Spanish speaking culture (usually celebrity, entertainment or sports related). Very helpful.

I have started listening to this podcast in March. I have set a goal of listening to one episode per day to improve my listening ability. I will reach my goal by Sept. 30. I believe my Spanish will improve a lot in six months. I highly recommend this podcast.

Este podcast fue recomendado por mi profesora y de verdad es un tesoro. Felipe es como una guía personal, muy amable y paciente. Para los estudiantes de nivel intermedio se funciona perfectamente para mejorar la comprensión auditiva, profundizarse en la gramática y conocer a gente notable de todo el mundo hispanohablante.

Felipe Galán’s Se Habla Español podcasts (and YouTube videos) are excellent. They provide short interviews with fascinating people - writers, actors, politicians, athletes, etc. Felipe then clearly explains new vocabulary, concepts, accents, colloquial speech and more. The podcasts are perfect to improve your Spanish, your listening skills, and a fun way to learn about culture and interesting people. Best for intermediate to advanced students…I encourage you to listen, click “Like” and/or give a positive review, and, if possible, join Patreon or make a donation, so that Felipe can continue his outstanding work.

One of the absolute best resources for the intermediate Spanish learners to improve listening comprehension skills.
