What it actually is

Weekly episodes discuss real news plus a grammar and an expressions segment, with transcripts, translations and quizzes attached, at Beginner (A1–A2), Intermediate (B1–B2) and Advanced (C1+). Having genuinely separate Castilian and Latino versions is rare and useful if you have picked a region. Subscription-only after a 7-day trial, and the 'slow' delivery is unnatural by design — good scaffolding, bad model for how people actually speak.
