“I loved the Coffee Break Spanish podcast. Showtime Spanish is not as good. While there is still the same quality of practical relatable teaching, the show biz framing seems contrived, and I can’t stand that awful theme music - I have to lower the volume whenever it comes on, it’s that annoying....”Read full review »

“I loved coffee break Spanish and was really getting it. However, this podcast seems to make a big jump from that, leaving me pretty lost when they're spending half the episode talking rapidly in fluent Spanish, using words not even covered. Then, they don't even review what they've...”Read full review »

“I studied Spanish until I was 20 and used to be a pretty strong speaker. However, 5 years later and in a busy job, I haven't used the language and was worried about losing it. Showtime Spanish is pitched exactly right for someone like me who has the knowledge in there somewhere and just needs...”Read full review »

“This is a great teaching tool for those of us that have learned Spanish beyond beginner level, but don't get a chance to speak it very often. They slow down enough to be understood, but don't talk down to beginner level. There is enough context to learn or remember words we haven't...”Read full review »
