Learn Spanish: Notes in Spanish Inspired Beginners

I think people need a basic understanding of Spanish before they start this podcast. I consider myself intermediate and as I was listening, I thought to myself that there would be no way I could understand their conversation if I was just starting out. As an intermediate learner, I already understood most of what they were saying but I found this podcast very helpful since I do not know a lot of slang. I want to point out that this is Spain Spanish, and not Latin American Spanish, and different Spanish-speaking regions use different vocabulary. All-in-all, I liked this podcast and think we can all learn a lot from them, especially with the worksheets they provide from their website. If they taught a more advanced module, I would listen to that podcast as well.

An enjoyable way to learn Spanish.

When I first started listening to this show I wasn’t a fan. Felt a bit overwhelmed and had a hard time understanding them. But I have to say out of all the ways I consume Spanish, for some reason I always remember the words and phrases from this show. I think the cheesiness of their conversations always sticks with me. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been traveling, I’m tired, struggling to think of what to say in a Spanish speaking country, and for some reason their cheesy Spanish phrases and stories will pop out for me to use.

I have tried many Spanish learning podcasts and apps and have found this podcast to be the most enjoyable as well as the best to learn from. Ben and Marina have a fun chemistry and discuss interesting topics in a really authentic way. I bought all the transcripts and love following along. Truly vale la pena!
