Best Podcast for leaning Spanish

This podcast trains, your ear, to understand Spanish. I have found this podcast to be very helpful. Better than anything I have used before to learn Spanish.

JuniperSprings ,

Perfect for beginners

I love this series because there is lots of repeated phrases in the conversation. You know we have to learn as toddlers learn when we know nothing. And to hear the phrases said in different ways really helps comprehension too. The relevancy of the topics is awesome. I use the subjects discussed in these podcasts to speak to my art teacher who is a native Spanish speaker. Please keep this series going!!

RandolWhite ,

Just what I’ve been looking for!

There are many, many early beginner and advanced/upper intermediate podcasts — but it’s hard to find o ones that hit this upper beginner/intermediate sweet spot so perfectly! I’m very thankful to Joel for making such an entertaining, conversational podcast that can help me advance my listening skills to the next level.
