    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.

    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
    They make learning fun and exciting.
  • Long time in China
    Excellent podcast
    Love the podcast! Andrea and Nate make a great team. The content is very good and I can understand a lot of the Spanish.
  • Ry-guy de Chicago
    Super Bueno
    Best part of this podcast is that it's all in Spanish but also understandable to even an intermediate learner. It challenges you but doesn't overwhelm you so that you don't understand anything. And having Andrea (fluent-speaker) with Nate (the learner) is the perfect pair. I could write so much more but it's good I promise and subscribe to Andrea's Emails! Thank you Andrea and Nate!
  • Lucia Rue
    Love listening
    I love listening to these two while driving. I am able to learn more conversational Spanish. They go through exercises which are super helpful to advance your Spanish!
  • McPirkl
    GREAT intermediate Spanish
    This podcast is the perfect podcast for individuals at intermediate level working their way up to advanced. Almost all the speaking is in Spanish, but at a level and a pace that stretches my skills without making me feel lost. And the personalities are so much fun!
  • Patrycja Wojtowicz
    Highly recommend!
    Love the podcast! Learn so much from each episode. Thank you so much Andrea, Nate all the crew!
  • DC Worker
    Amazing for learning!!
    This podcast has been far and away the tool that’s improved my Spanish the most. Andrea speaks in a way where I can understand her so I’m actually absorbing what’s being said as opposed to just comprehending 50% of what’s said. I’d say the biggest value-add is having her husband Nate co-host the show since he’s also learning and is at an intermediate+ level. So every struggle that I have Nate also has; Andrea then walks through what the correct answer is and why which is immensely helpful to me.
  • Hggggfdshf
    Simply the best!
    Nate and Andrea clearly put their hearts into this podcast and have a passion for helping others to grow in their language abilities. I hold a degree in the Spanish language and find Andrea’s methods of instruction to be helpful, easy, and entertaining! I learn something new and I laugh every time I listen to a show. Keep up the fantastic work! Shelley
  • camkrafft
    Unique approach to learning Spanish
    Españolistos has a unique approach with an American voice learning from an authentic Spanish speaker. Much more relatable this way and helps students retain info. The interplay between Nate and Andrea makes the podcast more entertaining too. Keep doing your thing!
  • RBM520
    Great podcast
    If you are past the beginning stage this is a great educational and entertaining podcast.
  • Ardy R.
    Great for Intermediate/Advanced
    So far, this is my favorite Spanish podcast. Andrea is smart and speaks clearly; Nate is a gracious, positive language learner; the family members are fun to learn about. My goal is to listen to all 300+ episodes.
  • frissjan
    Ughh. Nate makes SO many mistakes!
    This podcasts is full of errors! Not good for an instructional podcast.
  • HeyaBango
    Great podcasts for Spanish learners
    Great podcasts that are educational and never boring. Andrea speaks so clearly she gives me hope 😀 It is through these free podcasts that I found out about their Spanishland school. Check them out!
  • Jish Frick
    Always super helpful content
    It feels like Andrea and Nate work hard to put together content you’re actually going to put to good use when you’re speaking. I love seeing what each episode offers to help me improve my Spanish. Thank you for your hard work! Me parece que Andrea y Nate trabajan duro para crear contenido que es relevante y útil en conversaciones diario. Siempre tengo ganas de oír que tienen para mi! Gracias y abrazos para ambos!
  • Ash234523333
    Me encanta!
    Me encanta este programa. Andrea, Nate, y el equipo, gracias por hacer este podcast! Mi español ha mejorado mucho desde que comencé a escucharlo. Quería mejorar mi uso del subjuntivo y pretérito/ imperfecto y los podcasts de ejercicios de gramática me han ayudado muchísimo! También hablan de varios temas que me interesan. Siempre aprendo mucho con ustedes! Muchas gracias!
  • Shayhi123
    The best
    I look forward to each episode because they talk about different topics. Nate and I make similar mistakes so when Andrea corrects him, I learn right along with him. The best podcast to improve listening skills and learn new vocabulary. Thank you Andrea and Nate for all you do. God bless
  • Michael D. B.
    Great Team for Spanish learning
    Andrea and Nate are great. Very good content and apparent they put in the work to structure their tools and resources to optimize the instruction. Well worth a listen along with Andrea’s 10 minute Spanish podcast.
  • Slw115
    Excellent podcast
    I enjoy listening to this podcast to continue to improve my Spanish fluency. The format is especially helpful because it scaffolds the instruction while keeping the content relevant and comprehensible
  • Annamei22
    Helpful and informative podcast for Spanish language learners
    I enjoy listening to this podcast as well as the YouTube videos (“Spanishland School” channel) from Andrea and Nate. They speak in a clear and easy to follow manner that is perfect for intermediate to advanced listeners. They cover grammar and culture and lifestyle, so there is a good variety. As an college student studying Spanish, I find this podcast a helpful resource to supplement my studies, especially in terms of listening comprehension. If you’re looking for a challenge, I recommend speeding up the audio to 1.25. ¡Buena suerte!
  • Principiante Marc
    Marc
    Although I am a beginner in learning Spanish the suggestions given by Andrea and Nate when I started to follow their podcasts have been of great importance to me as I continue to practice listening to and speaking Spanish. Their teaching style is easy going, entertaining and very informative making the learning process most enjoyable. It is because of this I have been able to incorporate learning Spanish into my daily routine using all types of media. I am willing to make lots of errors as I look for opportunities to speak Spanish at work, in my neighborhood and with neighbors in my building. I am truly grateful for what I continue to learn by listening to them on their podcasts and on Youtube. If you truly want to enjoy and be very satisfied with improving your Spanish I highly recommend following what Andrea and Nate have to offer.
  • Brianolo
    Great podcast!
    Nate and Andrea do such a good job teaching! All the episodes are fun and interesting! I’ve learned so much listening to this podcast and other sources from Spanish Land School. Andrea is the best spanish teacher out there that I’ve found. Nate reminds me of myself being married to a Colombiana. My wife is always correcting my spanish.
  • dTsoccer
    I love these people!
    I enjoy listening to the podcast since they discuss cultural issues as well as teach grammar and vocabulary. It is just perfect for my level of Spanish and I am definitely considering going to Colombia to their language school based on discussions on the podcast. Nate is especially fun to listen to as I learn along with him when he is speaking on the podcast.
  • houston, tx 2023
    Interesting and fun!
    This is my go-to podcast for intermediate Spanish. I appreciate both Nate and Andrea’s passion for Spanish and their consistently interesting episodes!
  • Amiga Ruthie
    Españolistos es lo máximo!
    I listen to Españolistos podcast weekly. Sometimes I go back and listen to episodes again. Andrea and Nate make the content super fun, interesting and educational all at the same time. They are a great team. Andrea is super clear & easy to follow. Nate adds the humor and reminds us that achieving fluency in Spanish is a process. My Spanish fluency has really improved since I started listening. After listening for a while I decided to become a member of Spanishland School. Vamos!
  • JoeyLA79
    One of the best!
    Great content, clear instruction and funny. Love how she’s always correcting Nate! I started listening as a beginner and could only understand a fraction of what they were saying. A year later and I can usually understand most of the content.
