an excellent refresher for castillian spanish
This is an excellent podcast. Ben & Marina do an excellent job of presenting a well put together lesson: most new terms are repeated several times, and the dialogues for each lesson always reflect new vocab. I especially like that they begin each podcast with a quick review of the last lesson (this is really helpful for me). I've gotten the accompaning worksheets for Inspired Beginners and think it's a great bang for the buck. I really can't say how pleased I am with their work. It's important to consider two things. One, this podcast is not for those who've never had Spanish--it's more of a refresher course with the addition of current (non-textbook vocab). Two, while Ben is from England, Marina is from Madrid--so they lessons deal soley with Castillian Spanish in pronounciation and vocab (i.e., NOT Latin American Spanish); I, for one am glad that they help to make up for the dearth of Spanish Spanish available in podcasts.Read full review »

As this series jumps right into conversation, and one can easily fast forward when one doesn't need...Read full review »

The Inspired Beginners Podcasts by Ben and Marina have put my quest to be a real speaker and user of the spanish language in a re-energized mode. I had stalled out after going through 3 levels of Pimsleur method which gave me a really good foundation. But since then I struggled finding anything...Read full review »
