    Don’t let the poor audio scare you away
    Yes the audio is almost unlistenable, but the content is solid. Good podcast to learn basics and practice listening to the Argentine accent. One thing to note: the host tries to be progressive but the issues are more nuanced than presented so you may want to take the perspectives with a grain of salt.

    Perfecto!
    Un millón de gracias!!
  • freiday
    Me encanta este podcast!!!
    Mil gracias Mariel por producir este podcast! It’s exactly what I needed. I first went to Argentina as a student at university, and have since been going back for extended periods whenever possible, both for work and study. My Spanish is fairly good, but I do not practice enough and find myself forgetting things. And most of all, I miss speaking en el hermoso castellano Argentino. Me encantan todos los episodios y voy a escucharlos on repeat. I hope you keep producing more content, Mariel! You are a great teacher and these podcasts are so informative too.

    The best intermediate Spanish podcast
    This is exactly what I needed. B1 B2 intermediate adult learners get stuck with young content or things that are too advanced. Mariel has out together an amazing podcast and transcripts. Thank you!!!! Please keep making your amazing content. And if you ever publish your transcripts (+/- translations), I would be the first to buy that PDF!!! 💙🙌🏾💙

    Muy útil
    Tengo una amiga de Argentina y yo sintió que yo no pude entender muy bien. Entonces yo encontré este podcast! Y gracias a eso, estoy mejorando con el acento bonito de Argentina 🇦🇷😁 Soy de los Estados Unidos, un beso! 💋
  • Samira Thoma
    Fantástico!
    I started listening to reengage my ears in the rioplatones accent after noticing a significant drop in fluency after leaving my study abroad program in Buenos Aires. As someone who is second gen uruguayan but doesn’t regularly interact with many people in Spanish it is so nice to use these episodes to further enrich my Spanish language experience as I dive into more complex structures. I can’t wait for more episodes!!
  • MoiraEberle
    Short episodes in Argentine Spanish
    Looking for a way to practice Argentine Castellian Spanish and found this series. Perfect for intermediate learners with short episodes only in the target language with clear but natural pronunciation about local topics.
  • Cassnic
    Excellent Resource!
    I have lived in Argentina for a year and a half now and have found it difficult to find learning resources for Argentine specific Spanish. For those who haven’t experienced it, there really is a difference in dialect and vocabulary. This podcast is exactly what I needed. It has become my favorite podcast!
  • R A Mess
    Just what I was looking for!
    I have always wanted to learn Argentine Spanish but I never found any resources and specifically any podcasts. I was so excited to find this yesterday! I can’t wait for more lessons. Keep up the good work!
