“Me alegra que Ben y Marine hayan grabado una segunda serie de conversaciones españoles. Me gusta la manera de que Marina corrige la gramática de Ben y en este episodio la recomendación del libro de la japonesa es interesante y útil.
Hasta el próximo episodio.”

“This podcast is great. Ben and Marina have a unique teaching style that gives learners a peek into Spanish life. After not too long, I realized I wasn't translating in my head, but instead understanding Spanish! I just wish they had more episodes out there!!”

“My favorite way to practice my Spanish is to listen to Ben and Marina's discussions. They are perfect for those who have a good grasp of the language, but they don't move too fast because Ben is an English-speaker and even after years is still learning things himself. I really have enjoyed them...”Read full review »
