Notes in Spanish Advanced

Me encanta este podcast. Mudé a Oliva con me esposo hace un mes. Él es de Inglaterra y yo soy de los Estados Unidos. Este podcast es muy útil para aprender y practicar el idioma- ¡muchísimas gracias!

What a wonderful podcast! It has been so helpful to listen to real Spanish conversations about different, interesting topics. Marina’s gentle corrections of Ben’s Spanish are helpful for me, too!

I am so grateful I found the NIP Advanced Podcast. I lived in Spain for 2 years, and love hearing Castilian Spanish (Marina’s accent is clear and beautiful). I am a Spanish teacher, and I truly appreciate that Ben occasionally makes mistakes, and how Marina gently corrects him. The mistakes he makes make perfect sense in the target language, and are so very useful as I guide and teach my own students Spanish. Mil gracias, Marina y Ben. ¡Adelante!

I am a teacher and regularly listen to these podcasts to continue getting language input. I also recommend them/assign them to students to do the same. I really enjoy the topics and I continually learn new words or phrases to increase my proficiency in Spanish used in Spain. Ben and Marina are very enjoyable to listen to and I appreciate Ben’s transparency in having questions or making occasional mistakes. I know Spanish speakers who have lived in the US for over 20 years and still make mistakes or can’t think of an English word. It is encouraging to me as a non native Spanish speaker that perfection is not the norm!
