    Great Learning Tool!
    I am trying to improve my listening skills and have been using this podcast and then I donated so I could get the transcripts. I put the speed on .75 and I am fine. They have great conversational styles and they are of the length that you can really learn. Add it to your podcast feed!
  • Kieran-Nolan
    Engaging & Educational
    I discovered this podcast a few months ago and have been hooked since. I find the topics informative and engaging, plus both Nate and Andrea keep the energy level upbeat. I have a lot of respect for Nate as he’s willing to make the mistakes that we all make so we can learn as Andrea gently corrects him. Congratulations to Nate & Andrea on the new addition to their family too!
  • <3 Catherine <3

    Perfect level, but most importantly it’s super entertaining and Nate and Angela are enthusiastic, which makes it always fun to listen to!
  • funkydawg
    Divertido y útil
    There is not that much out there for intermediate Spanish learners and I have really enjoyed learning from Andrea and Nate over the past several months. The lessons are to the point, fun, and useful!
  • KansasHostage
    Great conversational Spanish course
    I have enjoyed listening to Andrea and Nate for several years. They represent a perfect mix of topics and education, Andrea is an excellent language teacher and Nate, as an English speaking Spanish learner helps to facilitate understanding as they both navigate the issues of intermediate Spanish learning students. They have a great relationship and their interest in helping me speak Spanish better, as an intermediate Spanish learner, is very evident. I highly recommend their podcast.

    Educational and fun!
    I have listened to the first 200 Episodes, only another 205 to go! Andrea is an excellent Spanish teacher with a neutral and easy to understand accent. Nate is funny and has no problems making the odd mistake that Andrea is happy to use an example and help correct him. Fun couple, easy listening and interesting topics, thoroughly recommended.
  • Slw115
    Excellent podcast
    I enjoy listening to this podcast to refresh my speaking and thinking fluency in Spanish. It is a good mental exercise while driving and all of the input is comprehensible. Excellent material for anyone wanting to improve their Spanish and grammar instruction is at the highest levels.
  • Roland Med
    Really Helpful
    I’m semi-fluent in Spanish as my second language trying to move to the next level. Espanolistos has been extremely helpful to me. It has helped to clean up my Spanish grammar as well as Spanish phrases that sound more like what a native would say in situations where I might be inclined to say something more literal but awkward.
  • mrtechnique
    Great Spanish Learning Tool
    I listen to Nate and Andrea’s podcast a few times a week while walking my dogs to help improve my Spanish comprehension, and it has: Their podcasts are entertaining and informative. I listen to this podcast along with How To Spanish and Spanish With Nate to improve my Spanish comprehension.
  • Dowd
    Super helpful
    I’ve been looking for a podcast to help me with my Spanish for a long time. I really love this one. Andrea really knows her stuff and I love the format of learning alongside Nate. It’s incredibly helpful to have someone to share some of the common mistakes with while learning. It’s really encouraging. I often listen to episodes 3-4 times. Thank you Andrea and Nate!
  • Gregory_ B

  • Dr. Steve S
    One of my favorites
    One of my favorite Spanish listening podcasts and I listen to many! Thank you Andrea and Nate!
  • DrJEA79
    Just what I need!
    I love the espanolistas podcast. It’s perfect for my intermediate level. I love hearing how Nate makes the same mistakes I do, and I appreciate how clearly Andrea explains the corrections and grammar lessons. I’ve been listening for a while and recently joined the Parcero program. I look forward to seeing further improvement with Andrea, Nate, and my fellow Parceros.
  • Jason niederkorn
    Awesome podcast!
    I have learned so much Spanish from this podcast!
  • Laura M…
    Gracias de San Diego 8/2/24
    I love the fun dynamic between Andrea and Nate and the corrections are so helpful. My favorite part is the transcripts. I always like to listen once and then listen again while reading the transcript making note of new words. Muchas gracias a Nate and Andrea y todo el equipo!
  • rvhhblake
    Exactly what I was looking for
    I LOVE this podcast. I felt exactly like Nate explained on Episode 1– I was looking for a podcast completely in Spanish that was challenging yet accessible. This is totally that podcast. Thanks Nate and Andrea!
  • Sm@rt speller
    Better late than never
    I found this podcast after trying several others. I really love this podcast. It’s my favorite and really helpful. It’s perfect for an intermediate learner. I’ve loved hearing Nate’s progress. I’ve listened to the first 2 years of recordings over the last few months. I think Andrea, Nate and their guests are terrific and I enjoy the wide variety of topics. I still have 6 years of podcasts to listen to and I really hope the next 300 podcasts are as great as the first 100. Thanks for sharing and maybe I’ll hear my review when I reach the 2024 episodes :)
  • K Swis
    So helpful!!
    I love this podcast! Andrea and Nate are fun to listen to and I love the variety of topics they cover. The grammar and conversational help podcasts have been especially helpful in improving my Spanish.
  • DavidsHope
    Entertaining and Educational at the Same Time
    I’ve been listening to Andrea and Nate for nearly a year now. They are a large part of my comprehensible input method of learning the language in addition to my grammar lessons which interestingly enough also include their most excellent online Spanishland School which has enough content to keep you busy for years. The episodes are well thought out and learning Spanish along side Nate is very entertaining and enjoyable. Andrea is an extremely talented teacher and she really seems to enjoy herself. If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend that you add this podcast to your Spanish studies and while you’re at it visit Spanishland School and consider becoming a student there.

    My main Spanish immersion opportunity😊
    Hola todos😊! I started listening to Espanolistos for 2 years now😊 and love it. It is my main Spanish immersion opportunity. I listen to it while driving or cooking. I started learning Spanish by listening to songs and then I discovered Duolingo. These 2 methods helped me with vocabularies but only Espanolistos gives me the real conversations with real people talking about daily situations😊. No matter what your method is for learning Spanish, Espanolistos is the immersion you need. And if you're a beginner, listening to Espanolistos will skyrocket your Spanish skills😊. Spanish is my 4rth language and Andrea and Nate keeps me motivated to learn more😌. Thank you Andrea and Nate for the wonderful conversations.
  • Cata33033
    The Perfect Podcast!
    I absolutely LOVE this podcast. The blend of things Andrea and Nate bring together make language learning fun, relatable, and challenging!
  • Mrs.Jell4
    Listen to this one!
    I love the format, it is perfect for intermediate level. I can understand it and I have learned so much already. It’s great for when I’m at the gym or just doing housework.
  • DJ Ples
    Excellent for advanced learners!
    I’ve been listening to the podcast for about three months now after using Pimsleur and it is there great way to continue learning more complex, Spanish as well as more common phrases in words. I travel to Columbia six times a year and each time that I return the locals notice a difference.!
  • drlorimom
    Clear & upbeat
    The conversations are clear and easy to understand (especially if you follow along with the transcriptions, which are available for nearly all of the podcasts); yet difficult enough that the intermediate Spanish learner is constantly challenged. Andrea and Nate cover a variety of topics in a light, yet focussed, fashion. Additional courses are offered for a fee, but they are not pushy...my sense is that the Españolistos team is happy to help if you choose to pursue further, more personalized instruction.
  • Señora S
    Less grammar and more conversations
    I really enjoy listening to your show whenever you have conversations or tell stories but I’m not a fan of the grammar episodes. Are you guys familiar with the principles of second language acquisition? If you are not I highly recommend you read Stephen Krashen. Again, this is not a negative review but an encouragement to focus on natural communication about content without nitpicking everything Nate says.
  • BilingualGringo
    I use it for my Spanish class!
    A wonderful podcast with very clear Spanish, and a fun dynamic between Nate and Andrea. Thank you so much. I recommended it to all my Spanish students.
  • DimitriKisov
    Great for getting your Spanish to the next level
    I have been listening ever since a friend recommended this podcast. I love Andrea’s Spanish—she’s very easy to understand. And Nate’s (frequent) errors are relatable and fun; it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who struggles with some of these mistakes! I highly recommend this podcast for intermediate Spanish learners, or even advanced beginners.
  • kdlevd
    Excellent
    Very clear and helpful podcast to learn Spanish. I listen once a day for 30 minutes, and my comprehension is skyrocketing.
  • Gina from Seattle
    Excellent tool for Spanish learners!
    Andrea is a gifted teacher. Her Spanish is so clear and understandable. I also appreciate Nate’s resilience and sense of humor which are so crucial for us language learners! You guys are a great team. I don’t miss a podcast!
  • tctex
    One of my favorite podcasts
    I have been listening the Españolistos podcast for more than five years and it is still one of my favorites for practicing my Spanish listening comprehension. Thank you Andrea and Nate, your work is greatly appreciated .
  • elliot357
    Great Podcast
    I’ve been loving this podcast for the last few months. Andrea and Nate are both super like-able and I feel like my Spanish is improving every time I listen. Keep up the great work you guys!
  • CHConnell
    My favorite Spanish-learning podcast!
    I’m grateful to the friend who turned me on to Españolistos! I started studying Spanish via an app 3 1/2 years ago and was missing listening comprehension and some grammar. This podcast has both conversations about topics and grammar in a fun way. Andrea’s accent is very clear and although she speaks fast, I can understand most of it. It definitely stretches me! She and her American husband Nate have a lot of fun together - he speaks at an advanced level but still makes mistakes, which she corrects and then we all learn from those. There are hundreds of episodes and it will keep me busy for a long time!
  • Santiago Fuegos
    Excellent Podcast
    If you know a good amount of Spanish, this is an amazing podcast to take your Spanish to the next level. Very helpful!
  • GreezyMonkey
    Great Spanish Podcast for Learning
    I love this podcast! I’m in Spanish classes right now, at the intermediate level. This podcast has been the perfect compliment to practice hearing and understanding the language as people are having a conversation. They are easier to understand for me. It’s not instruction, it’s a conversation about random interesting topics. Andrea will correct Nate when his Spanish isn’t correct, and explain why, which I appreciate. But it isn’t Spanish lessons, which is exactly what I’d been looking for. Andrea does another podcast school that’s instruction and it’s also great. I hope they keep this going. I love listening.
  • metwice&thrice
    Well presented
    The podcast series is well presented and I listen to these daily. What I dont like, it is difficult fo figure out how to download the worksheets for the podcasts and sometimes the Columbian Spanish trips me up. Other than that, it is great!
  • Jcrazzz
    Educational and entertaining
    I've been studying Spanish on my own for more than a decade and I've reached intermediate level proficiency. This is my favorite podcast for a variety of reasons. Andrea is an exceptional teacher -- passionate, creative and a stickler for detail -- and I love the interaction between her and Nate. They cover a variety of topics with insight and humor, and you feel as if you're listening to a couple of old friends. I enjoyed the podcast so much, I signed up for their Spanishland program online, and I can attest to the value of that as well. Highly recommended.
  • Rad2007003
    Awesome podcast!
    I discovered this fun podcast a few months ago and it’s exactly what I was looking for to improve my Spanish. Andrea is a great teacher and listening to her and Nate discuss a variety of topics is an entertaining way to learn. In fact, I liked it so much that I signed up for their monthly membership program, which is also super well done and I’m learning a ton! Gracias Andre y Nate. ¡Estoy listo!
  • Valerie Rice
    Great podcast
    I’ve listened to many podcasts for Spanish listening practice and this one really helped me move forward! This is 30 minutes of uninterrupted Spanish listening at a good intermediate level that is fun and engaging. This was the one where I had the breakthrough I’d been working towards- I understood spoken Spanish sentences in a row for 30 minutes by a native speaker! This led me to enroll in Spanish Land School and I am so happy that I did! I highly recommend every single piece of instruction from Andrea and Nate and company!!!
  • Maggie Wiggins
    AMAZING!!!
    This is the best podcast for learning Spanish. I’m a working mom with three young kids and don’t have much free time. I started listening to this podcast from the very first episode and I try to listen to one episode a day. Since I started listening a few months ago, I’m finding that I now understand so much more of the conversation. And if you haven’t checked out their online courses and live, private zoom lessons with a teacher, go to Spanishlandschool.com!!!
  • La Jubilada Sra A
    From a retired Spanish teacher
    This podcast is a wonderful way for students of Spanish (and former teachers) to maintain and improve their language abilities! Andrea speaks so clearly and ensures that her words are understood. Nate, with unfailing good humor, represents all of us non-native speakers. The suggestions offered (for example, reading in Spanish) are sound and backed by research. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in improving their Spanish comprehension and speaking skills. Bien hecho, amigos!
  • Tres Juan
    Easy to listen and learn
    Me gusta mucho los podcasts de Spanishland School. The back-and-forth between Nate and Andrea is very natural and I feel like I am learning along with Nate!
  • jlmaclaffert
    Phenomenal
    This is a very fun and easy to follow podcast in Spanish that both intermediate and advanced level Spanish students should be able to learn a lot from. This podcast really helps me personally to improve my grammar, learn new idiomatic expressions in Spanish, learn how to speak Spanish the way native speakers do, improve my ability to communicate diversely different and even very nuanced ideas entirely in Spanish, improve my vocabulary, and become more familiar with how Spanish is spoken in Colombia. Also, really enjoy listening to Nate and Andrea do this podcast together. They are a delightful couple to listen to.
  • ScottABryant
    Great content for advanced students
    So many great things about this show. Andrea is very clear and easy to understand. She explains things well. And together they have a good, entertaining dynamic. I’m hooked. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into this show.
  • Lucas Jacobo
    Great Team
