If you've ever tried to learn a language,L0ve Bite (2024) Part 2 Hindi Web Series you'll know how important listening can be.
That's why Duolingo has launched the Duolingo Spanish Podcast, for English speakers who are learning Spanish. The first episode is available for free on Duolingo's website, iTunes, Google Play Music, Spotify, and Stitcher. New episodes will roll out every Thursday.
SEE ALSO: Finally, you can learn Chinese on DuolingoEach 15-minute episode is a narrative nonfiction story, similar to an episode of This American Life. Though they take place all around the world, the episodes feature Latinx characters, and discuss Latinx culture.
The podcast is hosted by Martina Castro, co-founder of NPR's Spanish language podcast Radio Ambulante. She is also the founder and CEO of Adonde Media, a bilingual podcast production company.
Castro narrates the stories slowly in clear, intermediate-level Spanish. A paragraph is read in Spanish first, followed by an English translation, with segments clocking in at about a minute long.
The English translations make it easy to check how much of the preceding segment you understood. They can also pull you back into the story if you got lost, or zoned out, during the Spanish section.
Don't expect the monotonous listening exercises from your high school Spanish class (or those you might hear on the Duolingo app itself). The stories are interesting, unnerving, heartwarming, and a unique portrait of Latinx culture.
Having taken four years of high school Spanish many years ago, I was able to get the gist of each section if I focused hard (though the English translations were certainly helpful). That said, you'll want to listen at a time when you can focus -- my intermediate-speaker's brain had a lot of trouble translating if it was also doing something else.
The first episode features the story of Rodrigo Soberanes, a Mexican journalist, who builds a friendship with a disgraced soccer player and makes a documentary about it.
Upcoming segments will document a Chilean journalist who unexpectedly meets her future (Chilean) husband on a trip to China, and a woman's journey to build a life in Buenos Aires after her boyfriend (whom she moved there for) leaves her.
Duolingo told Mashablethat it hopes the podcast will motivate intermediate and advanced Spanish learners to keep up with their studies throughout their daily, while communing, exercising, etc. (But as I said, for speakers as inexperienced as me, this is probably wistful thinking).
It also hopes users who have completed Duolingo's Spanish course will maintain their grasp on the language (and, incidentally, their involvement with Duolingo) by listening to the podcast regularly.
The company also noted that Spanish speakers who are learning English could benefit from the podcast.
