Learn Spanish With Podcasts

So you want to learn Spanish; that's a great idea. The percentage of the Hispanic population is increasing every year, and there will always be Spanish language speakers in the United States. If you want to communicate with them in their own language, you need to learn Spanish.

A podcast is just one way to learn Spanish. You can also learn Spanish by taking community college or adult education Spanish classes; by teaching yourself to speak Spanish using Spanish-English dictionaries and phrase books; by listening to Spanish-language lessons on vinyl records, audio cassette tapes, or CDs; by hiring a Spanish language tutor to teach you the Spanish language one on one; or by installing Spanish language teaching software on you PC or Macintosh computer.

Using a podcast to learn Spanish is the most modern, cutting edge way to learn Spanish. It's a fun way to learn Spanish because you download the podcast to your iPod or other mp3 player, and listen to the podcast as you walk, exercise, or relax in your home.

One of the most popular "learn Spanish" podcasts is a podcast called "Finally Learn Spanish." The dialogs on "Finally Learn Spanish" teach vocabulary in context, taught by experienced Spanish teachers.

Another popular Spanish learning podcast is "Insta Spanish Lessons." This is a weekly podcast that combines listening comprehension drills with grammar lessons, travel tips, information about culture and history of Spanish speaking countries, and more.

"Learn Spanish Survival Guide" is a Spanish learning podcast that teaches you how to speak the everyday practical Spanish that you need to know to get by in a Spanish speaking country.

Yet another popular Spanish learning podcast series is the "Notes In Spanish" podcast. This podcast focuses on the type of Spanish pronunciation and usage that is spoken in Spain, as opposed to that Spanish spoken in Latin American countries. Listen to real conversations from Spanish speakers in Spain, and learn their vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation on your iPod or other mp3 player.

One of the best things about podcasts is that anyone can create them. Professional, commercial Spanish learning podcasts can help you learn to speak Spanish, but so can podcasts created by individuals who record podcasts because that is what they love to do. One such Spanish learning podcast is "Really Learn Spanish." With the "Really Learn Spanish" podcast, you learn Spanish from a former Spanish teacher who lived in Spain for seven years, teaching Spanish to English speakers using unconventional, innovative techniques.
