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 in the real, authentic Spanish that is impossible to acquire from a textbook or big-name app.
We know that getting to a high level of Spanish fluency and understanding, to get off the endless ‘language-learning plateaus’ and away from ‘Spanish brain-freeze’, can be really frustrating at times – Ben’s been there with Spanish and Marina with English – but through Ben’s journey to total Spanish fluency, and Marina’s native-speaker Spanish, we’ve helped enthusiastic independent learners like you worldwide to get amazing results….
“Ben and Marina are gifted teachers, and they conscientiously consolidate vocab and grammar at all levels. I decided to trust them to do this, and they do! My confidence has shot up along with my speaking ability (like osmosis, really!)”
What is the “Real Spanish Inner Circle“?
The “Real Spanish Inner Circle” is our private online community and Real-Spanish learning hub.
It’s where you go from frustrated, stuck and tongue-tied with your Spanish, to confident, relaxed and fluent in speaking and understanding.
It’s a home for new, regular video content with our trademark real Spanish conversations. Regularly updated content that goes deep into really fascinating subjects, so our students can understand and talk about a huge range of topics. This the Real Spanish you’ll never find in a text-book or “Big-Name App”.
It’s where we work closely with our Spanish learners via private online discussion and Q and A’s to ensure they get fluent in speaking, and much better at understanding real, authentic Spanish, much faster.
It’s where we offer personalised coaching guidance and motivation on how best to overcome learning challenges and really jump up to the next level with your Spanish, so you never get stuck on one of the dreaded ‘language plateaus’.
All of this is hosted inside an incredibly inspiring, friendly community space where people can practice their Spanish in a safe space, and receive corrections if they feel like it to improve accuracy. It’s a also a place where our students connect, share great recommendations (Spanish books, series film, music, intercambio and travel tips) that are helping them to get better at Spanish, faster.
You’ll be getting more access to Ben, Marina, and our incredible Madrid-based pro-Spanish NIS Coaching Team than you’ll ever get in our podcast courses or public videos. We’ll be sharing our newest, most in-depth Spanish conversations that you won’t be able to get anywhere else – PLUS an extensive library of everything we’ve already made for the Inner Circle.
This is the most valuable, friendly, and fluency-boosting Spanish-learning experience on the internet.

[On a recent trip to Spain] I was asked many times while I was there “Where did you learn to speak such good Spanish?”
I like the camaraderie, the ability to have discussions with members in the Inner Circle, learning about the places where members in the group live, learning everyday Spanish. It’s helped me acquire greater understanding and skill with my Spanish.
