What it actually is
Running since 2005 with a huge free archive split into Inspired Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced, it is the classic answer to 'I want to hear real Spaniards talking, not actors reading a script'. The audio is free; worksheets and transcripts are sold as paid packs, which is the main catch since the advanced episodes are genuinely hard without them. Madrid Spanish throughout, so expect vosotros and peninsular vocabulary.
