  1. Yo soy profe de español, pero a nivel muy bajo (por mi español sospechoso!). Me encanta seguir aprendiendo, y lo vuestro es alguna de mis fuentes de aprendizaje favorita — gracias! Y, la comparte con mis estudiantes! Qué comunidad habéis creado — impresionante! Gracias por todo!

  2. I love your pod casts! I’m just starting out on my Spanish language journey so I empathise with others comments on how fast Spanish folk speak but I have been taking your advice and just listening and even after 10 days I am starting to pick out Spanish words as other speak.

    Un abrazo
