Exactly what I need, couldn't be any better!
I have been studying Spanish for almost 2 years now on my own. I find that I can read most Spanish almost perfectly, however I have a little more trouble understanding common spoken Spanish; it's usually just too fast or contains too many idioms for me to figure out exactly what I am hearing. When it comes to speaking, I am borerline terrible unfortunately, due to the fact that I have been studying mostly on my own and have had very little interaction with Spanish speakers. The format of these podcasts is perfect for me. It contains a full 5-10 minute conversation in Spanish, a full PDF document containing a transscript of the conversation, and many discussions about common idioms and other sayings that you usually don't learn in books. Mark and Alba are very entertaining and I find this course just challenging enough for me. It's not too easy where I get bored and not too difficult where I tune out. After 9 or so lessons I already feel more confident, but I've still got a ways to go to earn true fluency! Note that, of course, the Spanish presented here is the variety spoken in Spain. I've been studying Latin American Spanish which is slightly different, but I find it interesting and educational to learn the differences.Read full review »
