At last, a source of spoken-Spanish audio files, with transcripts I can follow along and "cursor over" hard words for an instant translation. Unlike regular Spanish news via audio or video, I can discern the content because of the pace, and use the transcripts as training wheels -- as much or as little as I need. It's the best vocabulary learning tool I've found since it throws so many new words at me, with a news-story pace of repetition, that I can decode in the context of the story, and rarely bother with a dictionary. News in Slow Spanish lets me think in Spanish a bit longer every time.

I'm french and I study english and of course spanish and I wanted to thank you for your idea of making those news podcasts. I was looking for a way to learn spanish and I begun to listen to spanish radio but how fast they talk! I understood 5 words of the 25 they were saying yet I understand my spanish teachers. Moreover I thank you for the news which are very clear and which sum up perfectly what happens around the world and since I'd like to become journalist, what could be better for me?
I hope I'll be able to listen to you for a long time!

This is the best site for someone at my level which is somewhere between advanced beginning and beginning advanced. I buy Spanish language magazines and newspapers but they go unread because my patience limits my desire to look up unknown vocabulary. You do that for me. Thank you for posting this web site.

I am a 53 year old spanish learner...a big effort to learn! Once passed the basic courses, there are no other courses I can access from where I live..(in the middle of England) thanks for a fantastic resource to help me keep going!

I was beginning to believe that I would never understand Spanish, but you have given me hope. What a great idea. I can do my two favourite pastimes at once...

Thank you

I cannot thank you enough for your podcast! My fiancé is Venezuelan and I am trying to gain proficiency with Spanish as fast as possible. While I am learning a lot, and often watch CNN en Espanol, I miss a lot because my listening skills are just not at that level yet. I don't know why someone hasn't thought of these services sooner, and I hope that you guys secure advertising and generate profits from your service soon because I want you guys to stick around..

I've been looking for something like this for a LONG time. There used to be a cool weekly magazine in the US called, Perspectiva, or something like that. They also did a medical Spanish one. They stopped doing it years ago. This is a great medium for working on intermediate Spanish.

Thank you so much!!!

Josh

...Thank you so much. The format in which you present not only the podcast, but also the interactive web-based transcript is perfect....

Richard

...Wow!, do I like this! This is exactly what I need. I appreciate that it's a lot of work to make, involving sound, transcriptions, and even hyperlinked translations for more difficult words.
I'm also a user of Yabla.com, which is a subscription-based video service. Yabla features a software option to slow down the videos, but that's not as good as what you do to solve the "too fast" problem. Yabla had to invest a lot in software development....

I have just descovered your website and am SO excited. I think it's exactly what I need. I have been listening in my iPod while walking and am understanding a lot and know it will only improve. I just tried your pronunciation and quiz areas and found them very helpful too. Thank you so very much for this help.

¡Estoy muy contento haber encontrado tu podcast! ¡Es perfecto para mí! Perfecto. Pero, ¿sólo cada las dos semanas? ¡Tu podcast es demasiado bueno! ¡Me encantaría escucharlo cada día!
Muchas gracias por tu trabajo fantástico.

Richard, Toronto

Solo quiero decir gracias por el podcast. Desfruto mucho. Hay muchos podcasts en espanol que son muy simples y muy aburridos. Su podcast tiene un nivel suficiente dificil para mi mientras al mismo tiempo no es demasiado asi. Keep up the good work!
