Educational and uplifting
I regularly visit Mexico and Central America and try to speak Spanish as much as possible when there. Since I took Spanish many years ago in middle and high school, this podcast is perfect for improving my listening skills, vocabulary acquisition, and general cultural understanding. I love the structure of the podcast: the first round of storytelling is told more slowly with a neutral Mexican accent, while the second round is faster with a neutral Spanish (Spain) accent. The plots are practical for the advanced beginner/low intermediate (e.g. a boy who goes to the library). They’re also incredibly uplifting, such as a girl with long hair who cuts and donates it to a hospital for children with cancer. I look forward to each new adventure!

This along with Joel’s other podcasts hit a sweet spot in Spanish learning where you know enough Spanish to understand simple sentences but not enough to follow along to actual normal Spanish conversations. It’s perfect to help improve listening skills!!
