StoryLearning Spanish

¡Hola! Welcome to the StoryLearning Spanish podcast. My name is Sofía, and I’m so happy to have you here!The StoryLearning Spanish podcast is a fiction podcast designed to help you improve your Spanish through the power of storytelling. Each season is a self-contained, independent story set in either Spain or Latin America. With daily episodes, you’ll stay engaged in an exciting narrative that keeps you hooked from start to finish—so you can enjoy the story while naturally absorbing the language.On our public feed, you can listen to Seasons 6, 7, 8, and our latest release, Season 9, which we’ll be posting daily until the end of August 2025.Since each season is an independent story, you can start listening in any order. Every story consists of 150 short episodes, each with a brief vocabulary list to help you learn new words as you go.If you’d like access to Seasons 1 through 5, plus full transcripts so you can read along while you listen, simply visit patreon.com/storylearningspanish. For just $10, you’ll get all nine seasons of the StoryLearning Spanish podcast—hours upon hours of audio and hundreds of thousands of Spanish words to entertain you while you become fluent in this beautiful language.In our nine seasons, we’ve told stories of all kinds—adventure, mystery, romance, and self-discovery. We’ve journeyed across Spain in a van, explored Mexico through the eyes of a travel writer, and retraced a 1936 tango tour across Latin America. We’ve stepped onto the set of a 1960s soap opera in Acapulco, saved a struggling restaurant in Miraflores with an unexpected discovery, and traveled through time in Mexico City. Our characters have faced the challenges of the Ecuadorian jungle, unraveled secrets in a Spanish mining town, and even solved a royal mystery in 19th-century Spain. No matter the place or era, each season brings a unique adventure filled with heart, intrigue, and unforgettable moments.These captivating, immersive stories will help you finally get really good at Spanish.And remember, you can access all nine seasons, full transcripts, and support our work by joining us at patreon.com/storylearningspanish.Interested in StoryLearning’s language courses?
