Latin American spanish podcasts

Question

¡Hola a todos!

I was wondering if anyone had any links to any good latin american spanish podcasts for spanish learners? As much as I love "Notes in Spanish" I find that some of what I learn does not always carry over when speaking with natives from latin america.

Answer 1

I have never been to that website but after a quick visit it seems as though the man is speaking the Spanish from Spain. I can understand why it wouldn't carry over to speaking with natives from Latin America.

I really enjoy using Spanish Ear. In the videos, a question or topic is posed and one or two people will discuss it. They have a wide range of topics and I think they are all interesting. Aside from Spain, they currently have speakers from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. With each video there is a short (and rather easy) quiz, a vocabulary list, and subtitles in which you can turn on or off.

I recommend watching the videos at least two times without the subtitles. Then, watch again with the subtitles and read along a few times, too. This really helps build your listening skills. If you want, you can also read the dialogue aloud and to yourself to practice pronunciation and comprehension skills.

Thank you for the link. I will check it out. - Maldito23, Jan 27, 2013

Thank you for that link as well. I'll have look too. We have plenty of Spanish TV stations here in Las Vegas, though they speak VERY quickly. :) - Findy, Mar 11, 2013

Answer 2

I've been looking for a good Latin American Spanish podcast too and I just listened to Doorway to Mexico on iTunes, it definitely focuses on Mexican Spanish and Latin American Spanish in general.
