We all know learning Spanish can be hard…
It’s so easy at the intermediate or advanced level to feel stuck on an endless plateau, like you’re never going to get any further with your Spanish.
All the classes, apps and YouTubers out there seem to offer solutions, but they aren’t really getting you to the next level of confidence needed to thrive.
Wouldn’t you love to have all the Spanish you need to express yourself fluently, and understand everyone, even the “100 miles-per-hour” fast-talking native-speakers?
If that’s you, don’t worry: We have the solution!
Here’s what we’ve got for you:
“The Inner Circle Collection” is 12 core video units (plus 3 bonus videos) packed with our trademark real Spanish conversations on a wonderful range of hugely enjoyable real-world topics.
These videos will take you straight to the next level with your Spanish.
We cover travel, adventure, food, culture, diet/healthy-lifestyle, music and much more…
So you can understand and enjoy being fluent on a huge range of conversational topics.
Picasso, Toledo, high-mountain adventurers, how seafood upgrades the brain, Lauree Lee in Spain, Las Fallas de Valencia, Spanish stereotypes, a trip to one of Madrid’s best restaurants, one of Latin America’s best singer songwriters, Madrid’s markets, we dive into all this and so much more!
Every video is accompanied by full subtitles (so you don’t miss a word), a key vocab and phrases list (so you get the Spanish we know you need to know), and short, enjoyable exercises to help the Spanish stick, easily and permanently.

Here’s the Story Of This Amazing Course:
From 2022 to the end of 2024, we ran a special, closed membership for a small number of Notes in Spanish students – The Inner Circle.
We produced a series of very special “Deep Dive” videos for the Inner Circle, conversations between Ben and Marina on fascinating topics, possibly the most interesting, engaging, well-received videos we’ve ever made.
Since we closed the Inner Circle at the end of the year, we’ve been wondering – how can we get this, some of our best-ever teaching material, into the hands of more students who can use it to jump up to the next level as soon as possible?
This is the answer, the best-of-the-best of these videos, carefully curated into “The Inner Circle Collection”.
(Marina smiled non-stop as she rewatched the videos… “Son realmente muy buenos, de lo mejor que hemos hecho” – They’re really, really good, some of the best we’ve every done).
We’ve selected the best, added fun, key exercises and more background material (so you enjoy learning so much more from each unit), and prepared some very special bonuses.
What Our Students Say About These Videos:
“One of the best, if not the best, online resources that I’ve come across. Thank you.” – Chris
“[This] will no doubt move you forward in your understanding and speaking of Spanish. I’ve learned many new expressions and different ways of saying things, which are more natural sounding than textbook Spanish.” – Caroline
“[On a recent trip to Spain] I was asked many times while I was there ‘Where did you learn to speak such good Spanish?’” – Andrea
“Now I can understand pretty much everything on the videos, and rely less and less on google translate.” – Elizabeth

If You’re INTERMEDIATE:
This is an amazing opportunity for you. It’s the possibility to jump to an Advanced level with your Spanish much, much faster than you thought possible.

You do that by diving into fun, interesting, challenging, real Spanish conversations like these – just what you need to progress fast!

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How long will the course videos be available for?
We aim to keep all our courses available for purchase for at least 2 years, usually much longer, but you’ll still need to purchase before the upcoming deadline.
What level is this course for?
This level is designed for Intermediate and Advanced learners who want to jump up to the next level faster, increasing understanding, fluency and confidence.
I’m a Beginner, is this too high level for me?
If you are a beginner this will be tough going, we recommend you continue with our Inspired Beginners podcasts and worksheet pack for now. But of course you are welcome to purchase this course now if you like and save it for when you’ve been through our Inspired Beginners course or feel ready to try the next level (often sooner than you think!)
Can I combine this with other Spanish courses I’m taking?
Absolutely! Lots of our students combine our Real Spanish Conversations approach with other more traditional methods such as online or in-person classes, and the big-name apps.
We think our approach is essential to use with these other methods, otherwise your Spanish risks staying ‘clunky’ and ‘touristy’ and ‘app-ish’ – we want you to sound authentic and real, to surprise native speakers with the straight-from-the-streets, straight-from-real-life Spanish we teach.
Adding our Real Spanish approach to ‘big-name-app Spanish’ has worked for thousands of our students – they’ve written to tell us. And many of them have ditched the big-name apps and gone 100% ‘real’ with us all the way to the highest level of Spanish!
