About me

I taught Spanish in a language school in Oaxaca for twelve years. My students always said the same thing: they could read, but they could not follow people talking.

So I started recording short stories in slow, clear Spanish, in my courtyard and on the streets around it. Every episode has a transcript, and I make word lists and a course for people who want more.

Questions

Short answers on downloads, the course and the merch.

Where can I listen?

Every Tuesday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. Each episode page has its transcript.

How do the downloads arrive?

After checkout you get an email with a download link, and the same link is on the confirmation page. You can download them again any time.

Which level is the podcast for?

The stories start at beginner level and get a little faster each season. If you are new, start with season one and the Beginner Word List.

How often does the email come, and how do I leave?

One every Tuesday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.

Is there merch?

Yes. It is printed to order and shipped by Printful, with the cost and delivery time shown at checkout.
