In the second episode of the audio podcast that will greatly help your Spanish, we look at vacaciones! After all, summer is with us in much of Latin America!

Advanced Spanish – Episode 002 – Vacaciones!

Our audio podcasts are aimed at advanced and intermediate Spanish learners. They cover a wide range of relevant, up-to-date topics so that you can quickly understand Spanish-speaking culture as well as the language. We also think that we are truly unique for two reasons:  1. We speak in the most widely spoken Spanish - Latin American Spanish - and have a particular focus on Colombia.  2. We go one step further than your Spanish textbook - and include words that local people actually use.  Based on work that we have done before, we know that if you listen to one of our 19-minute audio podcasts each day or each week, it will be a great help on your way to fluency!

Then we look at the fascinating site of San Agustin – land of amazing statues. Both of these sites can be visited today and both have their share of interesting tales – as we tell you about in the Spanish audio podcast!
