An invaluable resource for independent learning
This podcast is ideal for the intermediate student of Spanish. It has improved my comprehension of spoken Spanish, and since understanding what the other person is saying is essential to carrying on a conversation, this podcast has improved my ability to converse, even though it's not interactive.

The audio book is really entertaining. Highly recommended.Read full review »
