The entire Radio Lingua Spanish series (Coffee Break Spanish, Showtime Spanish and Coffee Break Spanish Magazine) has been a tremendous help to my listening and speaking skills since I learned of it at the beginning of the year. I've been using the podcasts daily over the past three months and its helped me move up a level in my Spanish classes. The main teacher Mark has a love of Spanish language and culture that comes through in every episode. A real treat.

I loved the Coffee Break Spanish podcast. Showtime Spanish is not as good. While there is still the same quality of practical relatable teaching, the show biz framing seems contrived, and I can’t stand that awful theme music - I have to lower the volume whenever it comes on, it’s that annoying. But I do think it is helping me with my comprehension. I am at an A2 level and can follow most of the discussion.

This podcast sounds like dying computers. Time to kill this podcast

I loved coffee break Spanish and was really getting it. However, this podcast seems to make a big jump from that, leaving me pretty lost when they're spending half the episode talking rapidly in fluent Spanish, using words not even covered. Then, they don't even review what they've said. The premium version is a bit expensive so I guess I'll just be finding some other podcast to try because I'm wasting my time listening to people talk in rapid Spanish with no idea whats going on

This is a great teaching tool for those of us that have learned Spanish beyond beginner level, but don't get a chance to speak it very often. They slow down enough to be understood, but don't talk down to beginner level. There is enough context to learn or remember words we haven't heard in a while. Great job Mark and Alba! And I love that Scottish accent when he speaks English , coupled with his Castilian Spanish accent, this is highly entertaining to this Mexican Spanish speaker.

The telenovelas were my favorite! Please come out with more telenovela podcasts. Those helped improve my listening skills.

Wow, what a real find this series is. I've listened to them all and some more than once. My Spanish has improved to the point that I'm following right along with what they're saying as they converse in Spanish. I took several years of Spanish in high school and college, but this course has actually benefited me more. Hats off to Mark, Alba and the other instructors! Thank you!

I've been searching for podcasts that would help me learn Spanish and Show Time Spanish has been the best. I worked my way through Coffee Break Spanish and am now going through the lessons of Show Time Spanish. It's like having tudors who explain phrases, grammar, idioms, etc. The conversations between Mark and Alba are great for listening comprehension. Can't recommend it enough!

Mark is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered. I'm extremely grateful for this podcast.

Just finished it. When is the promised sequel coming? ¡Muchas gracias!
