Is it possible to access the revision/dialogue sheets with the episodes? They do not seem available from the accessible link…

This is one of the few podcasts that carefully gives us foundational parts of Spanish in small portions (poco poco) at a time. I’m very grateful for their work.

An enjoyable way to learn Spanish.

When I first started listening to this show I wasn’t a fan. Felt a bit overwhelmed and had a hard time understanding them. But I have to say out of all the ways I consume Spanish, for some reason I always remember the words and phrases from this show. I think the cheesiness of their conversations...Read full review »

I have tried many Spanish learning podcasts and apps and have found this podcast to be the most enjoyable as well as the best to learn from. Ben and Marina have a fun chemistry and discuss interesting topics in a really authentic way. I bought all the transcripts and love following along. Truly...Read full review »

I’m an intermediate Spanish speaker. I have been learning on and off for years and this is not for beginners. The lady speaks too fast and they move too quickly through the conversations so by the 3rd podcast it seems way ahead. It’s certainly not something someone who is just learning will get...Read full review »

The “beginner” section goes from 0-100 really quick. They go from saying “hello, what’s your name” to describing really detailed conversations like 3 episodes later. It’s super hard to follow along and stay motivated. I feel like there are much better ways of saying something to keep them simple,...Read full review »

I have been using this for 10 years and it is absolutely excellent to be able to learn Spanish of such a high standard in such an easy and enjoyable way for FREE.
B@b5 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 11/14/20
The information in this podcast is very informative and the examples are great! Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long to get almost annoyed with the male host, Ben. He makes the dynamic with the female host seem strained, and he himself sounds like an intermediate Spanish speaker. It would be much...Read full review »

I really wanted to love this because I like the dynamic between the two of them. But I felt like this got hard really fast and is more intermediate level
andyjphotos via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/20
...it is the first time that the conversations were slow enough to understand the key words. I have had no practice listening to others. More later....

The worksheets are worth their weight in gold - highly recommended them to anyone serious about learning Spanish
GTC1953 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/01/20
To be honest, the Spanish is Spain drives me nuts BUT even more so is poor pronunciation. I find it rather difficult understanding Ben Sometimes. His pronunciation is really bad. Thank goodness for marina. I’d rather have just her and another native speaker to be frank. I understand it’s...Read full review »

I truly love all that you guys are teaching and putting into this podcast. My Spanish teacher recommended this podcast to me and I am so glad she did. I really hope that one day I can go to a Spanish-speaking country and use all that you have taught me. Thank you so much for creating this podcast!!!

Easy listening. Great insight into the culture. I love this.
HippyLuce via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/10/20
I love the chemistry between the speakers. I found this and the intermediate level podcast recently and I feel like using them together has done a lot to improve my Spanish listening skills already.
Zanre5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/20
Love the voices, context, subjects , the pace. Makes learning Spanish even more enjoyable
Antolipe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/20
This might be ok if you already know the basics, but for a total beginner?😨
Soozi T via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/21/19
After just one week of working through these podcasts - have just listened to number four - I feel my confidence in understanding and speaking Spanish has improved greatly. I have been struggling to learn Spanish for almost ten years, initially at weekly classes, with a conversation group and for...Read full review »

Pass this one by. Martina’s accent is so heavy and she speaks so quickly you will not get it. Estoy aprendiendo espanol, solo. Discover Spanish es muy mejor. Adios

I’ve been studying Spanish for about 6 months, and this podcast is a fun addition to the usual text books. I really love Ben and marina’s podcast. The real phrases are really useful too. Thank you for such a great resource.
rosiehappy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/31/19
A lot of podcasts seem to have short clips, mostly made up of large intro and exit music parts...I enjoy listening to Ben and Marina. They are clear, easy to understand and listen to for long periods of time. And I also love Radiohead...so there was a hidden bonus!
mooretastic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/19
Simply the best Spanish learning aid I’ve ever come across. I’ve used these on and off for years and have now started my teenage kids with them. It’s also definitely worth paying for the transcript pack for the extra info and tips.

Great Podcasts, very clear and informative.

SeherAndaç via Apple Podcasts · Turkey · 04/12/19
I have been learning Spanish for four years and it started with Ben and Marina. They have such a pleasant way of speaking to each other and they give you great insight into real Spanish used in Spain. I hope they’re still out there today sharing their gift!
Finaste8916 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/19
This is not a beginners class. I’m not sure what they’re going for but I gave it till the third lesson thinking I was missing something. I wasn’t. Not good
Tinman950 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/19
I really enjoy these podcasts. They do an excellent job of explaining the conversations and language and I can follow the conversations and understand them very well. The new vocabulary they introduce is great as well. My one gripe is the speed they take at. In both English and Spanish...Read full review »

I love these podcasts! Thanks for making them available, there is so much variety in the content it keeps me interested in listening - and practicing! The worksheets are great too. Muchas gracias 😀

Just a brilliant way to learn Spanish. You both do a great job. Muchas gracias 🙂

I tried listening to other Podcasts geared towards learning Spanish but I naturally just return to listening to Ben and Marina's Podcasts. This series just has a nice and natural flow that is really enjoyable to listen to and learn from. I wanted to let Marina and Ben know that their...Read full review »

Ben and Marina have a wonderful chemistry. The quality of their voice and speech is immaculate. Ben with his deep baritone and Marina with her sonorous native accent, are a treat to listen to.

Really appreciate this podcast. Helped so much during my year in Madrid
MASdestruction via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/16
It's very obvious that the creators of the podcast started providing higher level podcasts and then worked backwards to beginner. I've been learning Spanish hard for the past few months now with other beginner material and this is difficult to wrap your head around as a beginner. The only...Read full review »

I'm a more seasoned beginner that has a solid foundation, but I've found this podcast to be an excellent supplement to my learning. I wouldn't recommend this podcast to absolute beginners because you need to have a foundation in the language to be able to understand and dissect what...Read full review »
