In 2006 my wife Marina and I started the Notes in Spanish podcast to teach people “The Real Spanish You’ll Never Find in a Textbook or Classroom”, using 100% real conversations.
We’ve had over 40 Million podcast downloads since then, reaching people from almost every country in the world, at every level of Spanish, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced: Check out Notes in Spanish here ¡Gracias!
We’ve added a new show to our Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Spanish-learning podcasts at Notesinspanish.com, it’s called 3 Words for Ascuas, and it’s a lot of fun!
It’s full of the most fantastic straight-from-the-streets real Spanish that we’ve been saving up to share with you for years – all the Spanish words and phrases that make the language absolutely delicious! Start listening here. This truly is Spanish to amaze the locals with!

I’ve written a book telling the whole story, and including absolutely everything we know about running a business online, reducing work hours, and having fun in the meantime!
