“For anyone wanting to improve their Spanish or keep their ear in, this series is great!
Each episode is about 15 mins long and covers topics discussed solely in Spanish.

“I like listening to this when I take walks. It helps me get acquainted with the language before the AP Spanish Lang exam. Listening to them talk about kinda random things is helpful for the vocab and temas that might show up.”

I’ve learnt so much from them and from buying the worksheets too.
It’s Spanish how the Spanish really speak.
It’s witty, up to date, informative and educational.
What’s not to like.
I think they work really hard on their content too.
Thank you.
