I have used many apps and programs to learn Spanish, including those with the highest number of downloads. For example, I have used Rosetta Stone and Duolingo, as well as many others. They all have a strong focus on visual recognition of the language, but very little emphasis on training the ear to hear the language. I do like Duolingo very much and continue to use. But I am interested in training my ear to understand the language. This app is terrific on training auditory perception!
This app is great for people who already know how to conjugate verbs and have a little bit of a foundation, this is a great way to immerse yourself in the language. After using this app for only about a week my ability to follow along with conversation and not get lost has improved greatly and that's just from the beginner podcasts. I also like how the speakers start off slow but gradually start to speak faster like a normal speaker would as you get to intermediate and advanced
This app is based on listening to real world dialogues, supplemented with text that follows the audio ( as well as vocabulary). Vastly superior to those idiotic spaced repitition apps that just teach vocabulary and phrases. You'll learn many times faster when listening to complete dialogues. Audio is high quality, app nav is good. Well worth the price of the premium version. Nicely done!
Great topics of conversation, entertaining and educational. However, I found that the sound level was too low, especially as you get into the more advanced discussion. It's fine if you're home in a quiet environment but I listen to my podcasts when I drive l. Even with the volume all the way up, it became harder to listen, especially when Ben mumbles already and speaks with the microphone too far from his mouth. Marina was fine, volume wise.
I have got so much out of this app. It is well thought out and very human in its presentation. The lessons progress steadily in difficulty, but keep the listener engaged. It is fun and good to work with. It is clear to me that this personable couple enjoy language and transferring knowledge and I wish them well.
This app is really the best for listening. I checked many but none of them were this good. I'm learning spanish by myself just through apps. You can find great ones to explain the grammar (Babbel, which I'm using) but for listening it's so hard, because everywhere they speak too fast. This app is really suitable for beginners too. Slow & clear conversations and in the same time you can follow the text. If I could give more stars I would
The app is very useful and good however by itself it has repeatedly started playing the podcast that I was last listening to out of nowhere. Even though i have closed the app which caused me to delete and download the app again. To this day it still does that which is a shame beause the app indeed is good. I hope my problem can be quickly resolved as iot has woken me up in the middle of the night and at other random times repeatedly. Please fix this and I may consider goiving it 5 stars.
Attempted to upgrade using Google credits, only to find that the translation was unavailable for any podcasts other than beginners which was disappointing. I emailed to complain about this and received no response. I only found out later when I realised I was still getting ads on the app that my purchase had been refunded and my upgrade revoked without me being notified. I tried to repurchase but it wouldn't let me use my Google credits anymore, so I had to uninstall.
Dishonest Developer! One of the features listed for the PAID app is: 'Text transcript with translation.' There are three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. The inference from the developer is that all three levels will have translation. The developer didn't specify that ONLY the beginner level would have translations. He knew customers would assume that ALL the levels would have translations when we paid to have ALL translations. That's dishonest.
A very helpful and educational app, so far i have the best experience using this. Just upgrade to premium and you'll get translations and ads free. Anywhere, you could just listen and eventually learn. Exactly the app I'm looking for. Thank you for this, hoping you could add more contents in the future!
Wonderful app. Love the section that gives additional notes on the conversations. Really good that advanced learners are catered for too. So many apps and sites focus on beginners. One question - is there a premium paid version? I'd be very interested.
Love it so much that I bought it immediately. I love that they are real conversations instead scripted. One thing that I would like to see in the future would be the ability to speed up the audio. I find that it helps train my listening. Thanks for the app!
Almost all you need to master Spanish. Listen and repeat the sentences just the way speakers pronounce until it is natural for you to hear and understand the conversation clearly without reading the transcript.
I really like the straightforward format and the variety of podcasts, so I decided to upgrade it to get English translation. I don't see the translation for intermediate nor Advanced levels huh. Edit:thanks I hope this will be done soon. Will edit later))
I gave 5 stars when it's free. If only i can, I'll give 5 more now that I bought it. It's extremely good. Way worth than the money they ask for. The script and translations are what every avid learner needs in a podcast! Please keep on adding content. I can see myself using this app for a very long time.
This is one of the best apps I have ever used to learn spanish..I just only have one thing..if its possible to add the dialogue in every part of the audio to make us better understanding ...thank you so much for the great app :)
It's a good way to learn Spanish but it keeps changing the conversation midwhile you're reading and listening to it and it won't go back. I must say that the audio of the conversation is very well done.
I upgrade this app , money deducted but it's not been updated , it's look like cheating . Otherwise this app look good that's why I wanted to buy paid version. Don't buy just manage with free version because it is a fraud.
The app itself is one of a kind and very helpful in horning both your listening and speaking skills. Muy interesante .
Umm I'm not sure why this has so many good reviews. She speaks really fast and not very clear and I'm not even a beginner. Also I don't see the transcript anywhere like it says.
Its good. Still working my way up to intermediate. Listening comprehension is the most difficult part of learning a language.
As a low level learner, I find these podcasts accessible but also testing. Great way of hearing Spanish spoken but at a speed I can just about comprehend!
Maybe only one star will get some attention. things getting worse. Since podcast 11, the audio changed to "note in Spanish" while I'm playing "podcast in Spanish". BTW, I'm using Huawei M5.
The best possible way to learn a language is via podcast and this is exactly what this app has to offer. Eversince I started using this app my grasp of spanish has been firmer. I recommend this app
I'm enjoying this. I went for the paid version 90 podcasts graded by difficulty, excellent value.
So neatly crafted, readability is awesome and the dialogue is natural. Thank you very much. Worth every cent!
All the voice recordings used in the app are stolen from Ben and Marina. I asked them and they don't even know about the existence of the app. Shame on the developer!!! there is a YouTube page belonged to Ben y Marina. If you don't believe ask them. the postcards are stolen.
I was surprised that its really practical! Audio dialogues with written dialogues and explanations really nice for now .
This has been a great addition to my repertoire of apps for learning Spanish, I listen to it every day and it's super helpful! Recommended 👍👍
Help! I want to listen one audio at a time but they continue playing one after the other. When I click on a menu I see that there's a "playlist" although I haven't added anything to playlist list... It's very confusing. Also, the notification bar with the audio playing can't be closed, even if I stop the audio. Please could you fix, I can't keep the app with the notification always on... (sorry I've just learn to close the notification 😊)
