What it actually is

Mark teaches while a learner-stand-in makes the mistakes you would make, which is a well-worn format executed unusually well and in a genuinely structured sequence. All four seasons of audio are free in any podcast app; the paid versions (around £199 per season) add video lessons, bonus audio and lesson notes. Scottish-accented English explanation with Spanish from Spain — the free audio alone is a complete beginner course.
