¡Cuéntame! | Learn Spanish with Comprehensible Input

This podcast has helped my listening comprehension immensely! Marta speaks very clearly, and the format of the podcast works great for learning. Speaking a transcript slowly first with a few vocabulary translations, and then repeating it at normal speed has really helped me with picking up new vocabulary and understanding Spanish grammar structure. ¡Gracias Marta!

Pros: Honestly I like the podcast. I like Marta. I like the stories she tells. I like the fact that the first time it’s slower with a few basic translations and the second time through it’s at a more natural pace. Brilliant idea. Con: I started from the first episode and have Been listening in order and I must say that by episode 160 there’s too much English. The ads are English, the instructions are English the little messages here and there like “follow on social media” or “leave us a voice message” are all in English. Coming from Dreaming Spanish I was hoping for a mostly Spanish experience… if not all. All the English is starting to annoy me honestly. I’ll put up with it tho cause as you can see my pros far outweigh my cons… but it’s just my truth and I wanted to share it.

I’ve done a lot of language courses and this is a nice complement to them! Marta keeps it interesting and moves at just the right pace. Contextual learning fans will enjoy

Most podcast aren’t very comprehensible for beginners and you end up getting lost. Thanks to Cuéntame I’m able to get uh more input daily than before.
