¡Bienvenidos! Somos Ben y Marina…

Ben and Marina

Welcome! We’re Ben and Marina from Notes in Spanish, creators of the world’s first Spanish-learning podcasts.

With over 40 million downloads so far, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of Spanish learners to get fluent and confident via real, authentic Spanish conversations.

Ben moved to Madrid from the UK over 25 years ago, where he met Marina, who was born and raised here – a true Madrileña. Together our mission is to teach as many people as possible the real Spanish you’ll never learn in a textbook or “big-name app”.

What our members say…

“A Spanish win…”

There have been a lot of recent Spanish wins for me – the first being signing up for Inner Circle when it opened in May! I enjoy it way more than social media. Since I joined I’ve learned a lot of Spanish, more than I can tell you! I recently wrote to my ‘Airbnb host’ in Almuñécar in Spanish. She was really nice and friendly and totally understood my message.

“It’s certainly, definitely worth it”

The Inner Circle has helped me enormously because there’s always something going on. You can look at it in your own time, and study things at your own speed. There’s always something to listen to, to watch, to read, and to learn. I’d tell anyone who’s thinking of joining the Inner Circle that it’s certainly, definitely worth it. It’s one of the best, if not the best, online resources that I’ve come across. Thank you.

“I joined up without hesitation”

We all learn a lot from each other in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. If you want to make your Spanish learning into part of your daily routine, then the Inner Circle is perfect for you! I joined up without hesitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Inner Circle membership OK for beginners?

Yes! Absolutely, we have a special section of our Inner Circle ‘Real Spanish Fluency Journey’ dedicated to Beginners, so you have a clear path from where you are now to an Advanced level of fluency.

How about Intermediate and Advanced?

This is exactly what you need to grow in confidence, develop your fluency on a wide range of topics, and reach the highest level of Spanish possible, all with close support from us and our coaches.

Are all previous videos and tutorials available to me?

Yes! You get all of the videos, tutorials, grammar tips, and coaching material we’ve every made since the Inner Circle started in 2022, plus a huge library of extra special reports and Spanish-learning goodies that aren’t available anywhere else.

When are new videos uploaded?

We upload at least two new ‘Deep Dive’ videos every month, plus a competition video (where we outline the monthly challenge in Spanish), plus replays of our live “Virtual Café” sessions.

What if I can’t make the live sessions?

We record all of our live “Virtual Café” Q and A sessions so that you can watch them later if you are unable to join in.

I’m surrounded by Latin American Spanish, is it OK that you are speaking Spanish from Spain?

Totally fine! Half our students are based in the States and travel frequently in Latin and South America, and report total success with the Spanish they have learned almost exclusively from us! It’s a bit like the difference between English from the UK and the US – it’s essentially the same language and it’s fun discovering the slight differences.

Will I get access to Ben and Marina and Coach Ariadna in The Inner Circle?

Yes! Apart from our regular Inner-Circle only videos we take part in discussion threads, and host monthly Q and A Zooms with you. Coach Ariadna also offers super-popular conversation sessions and optional corrections on your written comments (a member favourite!)
