Slow & Clear Spanish
A solo podcast for Spanish learners where the host narrates personal stories in slow, clear Castilian Spanish, pausing to define key words.
This is a comprehensible input podcast for intermediate Spanish learners. The host, Marina, narrates personal anecdotes on topics like her hobbies, pets, or books she's reading, speaking at a deliberately slow pace. She often pauses to define key vocabulary in simpler Spanish or English, making it accessible for non-native speakers. The topics are drawn from her daily life, such as adopting a hamster, taking up running, or learning a new language herself.
“Unlike scripted language podcasts, this show is a personal monologue, making it feel like listening to a friend's audio message. The focus is entirely on comprehensible input through authentic, personal storytelling, which helps listeners connect with the language in a more intimate way.”
Who hosts this show
The host of Slow & Clear Spanish is Marina, a certified ELE (Español como Lengua Extranjera) teacher originally from near Bilbao, Spain. After living in Scotland and Germany, she began traveling while teaching Spanish online, eventually creating her own online school. The podcast is an extension of her teaching philosophy, using personal stories to provide comprehensible input for intermediate learners.
