    highly recommend this podcast
    This podcast is fun, clever, and interesting, covering a variety of topics, almost like a conversation at the dinner table. It's a conversation between two language teachers: a native spanish speaker and an english speaker who is at an advanced level in spanish. I'm finding this podcast really REALLY helpful to improve my comprehension of oral spanish. They are both engaging and the connection between them that makes the podcast fun
  • ck4887
    Hard to focus
    I really love the concept of this podcast. The two hosts have a great connection and I appreciate the topics they cover. With that said, as someone who is learning Spanish the student’s accent makes it really hard to focus. He’s got his grammar nailed down but the accent isn’t suited for Spanish learners, and the other host is disingenuous about it, telling him his accent isn’t bad. It’s hard enough learning a second language, but learning it from someone who isn’t speaking correctly is nearly impossible, and incredibly frustrating.
  • GoBlueGirl01
    Ellos me ayudan mucho!
    I studied Spanish years ago but never practiced speaking or listening in every day life. I really enjoy the episodes and am surprised by how much I still remember. (Duolingo helps too!)
  • Cherchez.LaFemme
    ¡Enhorabuena Inglés!
    Acabo de escuchar el episodio 72. yo también extraño a César, pero subestimas tus habilidades en español y como narrador. Me encantó escuchar tus reflexiones solitarias y la forma en que entrelazaste todas las ideas en un episodio que definitivamente volveré a escuchar. ¡Enhorabuena Inglés!
  • Aria Teng
    Spanish language coach is the best
    Cesar and his partner Oliver have four podcasts now. Three in Spanish and one in English. They provide free transcripts and flashcards. The topics are interesting. I love to listen to their podcasts. You are doing great. Thank you.
  • Adriáán
    ¡Me encanta!
    Los presentadores, César y El Inglés, tienen conversaciones relajantes, entretenidas y, a veces, inspiradoras. ¡Muy recomendable! ¡Muchas gracias!
  • RobC224
    Spanish AND Relationship Goals
    I feel like Cesar and El Inglés are good friends of mine at this point, and I find them adorable. The conversations are interesting and make for good practice. I usually listen to each episode 2 or 3 times. Once before reading the transcription and once or twice after. I’m so appreciative that they provide this free (and ad-free) resource. Thank you!
  • Banjoyist
    Poco a poco
    I’m a 60-something American woman learning Spanish, and it’s a challenge! However, if I slow down the podcast playback to .75 and follow the transcript in Spanish,1 I understand most of it. It’s great to have those tools. My goal is to improve little by little.
  • Denry Klin
    Excellent Podcast
    Great way to improve your Spanish while listening to interesting and fun conversations.
  • Pablitisimo
    Love it
    Me encanta este podcast. Siempre aprendo mucho escuchándolo.
  • Paul 0724
    Favorite
    This is my favorite series. The rapport between the hosts is fun and because of the varied subjects I learn without trying so hard! It’s a nice break from grammar.
  • Maddysun
    My favorite Spanish-learning podcast!
    I love this podcast so much. I’ve tried so many language podcasts, and this is by far the most entertaining and useful. I love the conversation topics and the easy rapport between César and el Inglés.
  • Ilyjj1986
    El mejor!!
    Me encanta este podcast. Yo soy un falso principiante misma (portuguesa es mi segunda idioma y espanol mi terceira) y la mayoría de las veces puedo entender todo lo que ellos están diciendo. Sin embargo, me quedo aprendiendo muchas nuevas palabras y frases. Además, esta pareja es muy linda y amena. Por favor, continúa grabando este podcast. ¡Es un maravilloso recurso para estudiantes de español!
  • clc9179
    Love this podcast!
    My teens and I just started listening to this podcast. They did 5 years of Spanish immersion elementary school but didn't have access to Spanish classes for middle school. My youngest has to study for a test to get high school credit and this has been a great resource!! Much more challenging than a basic class and its unlocking the Spanish that they haven't used in a while! Thank you!!
  • Amoening
    So helpful!
    Listening to this podcast and using the transcripts has helped my Spanish so much. I am now frequently able to hear what others say when they are speaking in Spanish. I still have to listen hard but I am so much better. If this is hard for you, take César’s advice and don’t give up! Listen to the podcast a couple of times (slow it down if you have to), use the transcript and then listen again. My tutor tells me that I am doing better at listening and understanding than most of her other students and we honestly think it’s because I listen to this podcast.
  • StephH888
    Wonderful!
    I love this podcast! I was looking for something to help sharpen my Spanish. I studied Spanish in college and spent a semester in Sevilla but sadly many years have passed without using my Spanish at all. I was delighted to find this podcast with Cesar & el Ingles and I can actually understand most of what they are saying. They have such a fun dialogue together and I find myself laughing along or smiling at their jokes. This is simply a great podcast, and I hope it continues para siempre! Gracias!!
  • Jdjebdjxm
    Excellent!
    I just found this show and I love it. It is fun and interesting and a great way to improve your Spanish.
  • MommyShark3839
    Thank you!
    Your show has helped me tremendously with my Spanish. Watching Spanish TV with English was recommended but I prefer this. I enjoy the banter and the short length with the study guide and cards. I believe I will be at intermediate soon!
  • Brewster71
    Great podcast for intermediate or B2 level
    You guys have wonderful chemistry. You should do more episodes together. It’s a great way to listen to Spanish and there’s a free transcript so listeners can follow along if they can’t understand it all. Please make more!
  • joebedieah
    More please!
    This is fantastic. You two are delightful! Please make more!
  • Trisha2424
    Exactly what I needed!!
    Please PLEASE 🙏🏼 make more episodes!!
  • Abigringa319
    Need more episodes!
    I was worried that this podcast would be too easy so I didn’t try it when it first came out. However, when I ran out of intermediate episodes I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The content is just as interesting as in César’s other podcasts, but with the added delight of El Inglés. The banter between the two is so endearing and I hope they post more episodes soon!
  • Korkeno
    Great for all levels!
    I listen to the intermediate podcast also but this one is also challenging and very interesting especially with the addition of the mysterious El Ingles. Haha. Thank you for the time and energy you both give to this podcast and For sharing with us a glimpse into your fascinating life together. I agree with another reviewer that we’d love more episodes! Continue the beautiful work. Sending you a big hug and gratitude from California
  • Rey Alexandré
    Amazing podcast!!! Please keep it up
    I’m from the US, English native learning Spanish and I must say this is brilliant. Please keep it up & it’s so good in fact, you should definitely ramp up the frequency if you can but great content overall
  • chaps06
    Excellent Podcast
    Thank you for this excellent podcast ! I am French and starting to learn Spanish on my own. As my native language is Latin based, this format for false beginners is very relevant for me because I already understand let’s say half of it while I cannot speak it yet, so it’s the perfect amount of challenge for me. I also like the chosen topic and the personalities of the teachers, they are so nice and it’s very entertaining!
  • Maggie LaCuriosa
    Quedo a la espera de más de este podcast!
    Me parece que es más fácil que el otro podcast de tuyo pero igualmente interesante. Tengo muchas ganas de escucharlos.
