What it is
A British learner and his Colombian partner record real conversations at four graded levels, so you can move up a rung without changing shows. The podcast archive is free; the Foundations courses (A1, A2) and Academy membership are paid. Colombian rather than peninsular Spanish, and the beginner episodes lean heavily on English explanation, which some people find slow.
