Audio Spanish Lessons

Question

I was hoping to find a resource that would allow for audio downloads of spanish lessons....the only sites that I can find seem to be for absolute beginners or advanced students. The beginner lessons are simple words or phrases, and the advanced audio lessons are all spoken in spanish. I don't mind if the lessons are spoken totally in spanish. I imagine what I am looking for is audio lessons that take a spanish sentence and break it down into its individual parts, Subject, verb, I.O., D.O., prepositional phrases, etc. Most seem focused on a singular "subject" and are taught in a vacuum and don't build upon the previous exercises. Are there any resources anyone suggests?

Answer 1

Welcome to the Forum!!!

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only person who prefers to learn Spanish grammar in Spanish. Here are a few links to resources that I have found (some of the resources listed below have some overlapping material):

Playlist 1 (various videos)

Playlist 2 (various videos)

Biblia de la gramática

Zacson training: Various exercises to improve oral communication

Answer 2

I consider myself to be the queen of podcasts, as that is where I have had to learn the majority of my Spanish. The sites recommended by Lachelvi are very good, I know them all and particularily recommend Notes in Spanish, Showtime Spanish and the Edufone series. Good luck!

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I know I'll take advantage of it immediately! :)) - territurtle, Jul 13, 2011

Notes in Spanish has lots of podcast Spanish lessons that fellow teachers have reccomended to me.

I did a search for "learn Spanish podcasts" and found all these sites.

I noticed you were particularly interested in grammar and I found this site which might have a pay wall or maybe my browser just can't play the audio. Worth a try though. Scroll down the page and you'll see that each podcast transcript has a "grammar" link.
