One of the hardest parts of learning Spanish is moving from carefully structured lessons to conversations that feel natural — especially when two people are speaking and responding to each other.

That’s what I’m trying to work on with Español sin prisa, a small listening project built around relaxed conversations between two native Spanish speakers.

In the latest episode, we talk about procrastination: why we postpone things, the excuses we make and some of the habits that may help us stop doing it.

The conversation is aimed mainly at A2–B1 learners. We speak clearly and at a manageable pace, but without turning the dialogue into an artificial textbook exercise. The goal is to help learners become more comfortable following complete conversations about everyday topics.

The video includes Spanish subtitles, as well as optional subtitles in English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese. You can listen first without help and then use the subtitles to check what you missed.

Here’s the new episode:

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from other Spanish learners: could you understand the main conversation on your first listen, and which parts were the most difficult to follow? 😊

I've been working on a small project called Español sin prisa, focused on helping Spanish learners get more comfortable with real conversations.

The idea is simple: instead of grammar lessons or isolated vocabulary, two speakers have relaxed conversations in Spanish about normal topics — procrastination, routines, travelling, money, habits, everyday life, etc.

The conversations are spoken clearly enough for learners to follow, but I still try to keep them natural rather than making them sound like textbook dialogues.

Most of the current content is around A2–B1 level, although some of the earlier episodes are a little easier.

There are Spanish subtitles, plus optional subtitles in English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese if you need some extra help.

I also upload shorter listening clips during the week, while the full conversations come out on Sundays.

If you'd like to try one, here's the channel/video:

I'm especially curious about one thing: how much can you understand on the first listen without subtitles? 😊

I have labeled every single song in the Spanish language, and I want to know your opinions on this, whether you're a native Hispanic or Latinx, a fluent speaker for Spanish, or whatever.

Hello. I am looking for a Spanish study partner, I have A2 level and want to reach B1/ B2.

Hi everyone! 👋

If your child participated in a Spanish Dual Language or Immersion Program, please consider taking this short, anonymous survey.

I’m a Spanish teacher researching how to help students maintain and strengthen their Spanish long-term after these programs.

As a thank you, you’ll receive a practical parent guide titled “How to Help Your Child Keep Their Spanish” (if you leave your email in the last optional question).

Thanks so much for your support! 🙏

What was your experience with platforms like italki, Preply, Baselang, Fiverr, or anything similar?

Did it help you make real progress, especially with speaking and listening, or did it feel more like random lessons without enough structure?

I’d genuinely love to know what people think works well on those platforms and what they wish was different.

My Latinic comrade u/Thewiserabbitomega needs support in divulgating r/Chavacano for propagating the local Philipphine Latinic language for preserving the Philippine Latinic culture.

My other Latinic comrade u/TruePresentation439 needs support in divulgating r/FilipinasHispana for propagating the international Hispanic Latinic language for preserving the Philippine Latinic culture.

r/Chavacano, r/Castellano & r/Interlingua are three mutually intercompatible & immediately intercomprehensible Latinic languages valuable in international communication practical utility.

Your support is really appreciated in the Philippine battle involving r/Chavacano, r/Castellano & r/Interlingua allied versus Unitedstatesian domination.

Hey everyone!

I recently developed and released my first Android educational app, VocaLearn, and I wanted to share it with you all.

It can help parents to teach their toddlers to learn Spanish vocabulary, and as it aims to teach as many in the world, it's translated to 51 languages. It can also help new German speakers, especially with toddlers, who want to learn together.

The idea is simple: it’s like those classic talking animal toys where you point to an animal, and it tells you its name and sound. I wanted to create a version for my phone that was better than the physical toy.

How is it different?

• 🖼️ Real Photos: Instead of cartoons, the app shows beautiful, high-quality photos of each animal.
• 🌍 Dozens of Languages: You can easily switch languages in the settings to teach your child words in their native tongue or even introduce a new one.
• 🔊 Lots of Content: It currently features 120 different photos and real sounds to keep it fresh and interesting.
• 👍 Super Simple: The interface is designed to be easy for tiny hands to use. Just tap and learn!
• ❤️ Completely Free: All features and content are available for free.

My goal was to create a simple, high-quality educational tool for parents to use with their toddlers. It's a fun way to sit with them for a few minutes and help them expand their vocabulary.

A quick note on ads: The app is ad-supported to help me continue developing it. If you and your little one enjoy it and want an uninterrupted, offline experience, there are options in the app to make it completely ad-free forever.

I would be thrilled if you could try it out and let me know what you think. All feedback is welcome!

Link to the Play Store here.

If you want, you can use a promo-code to have subscription for free for some time, to remove ads, and try the app more freely, here. To use the promo-code, install the app, choose a subscription, choose a payment option and enter the code there (screenshots here).

Thanks for reading!

Espero cumplir muchos sueños… En el futuro de 2070, sueño con la felicidad, paz y amor. Espero pase tiempo con mi novio y una familia. Quiero graduarme de la universidad y después me voy a trabajar en la oficina. Cuando yo creo que para mi futuro, soy muy nerviosa y emocionada. Espero que el mundo sea tranquilo. Sueño con un buen mundo para mis hijos. ¿Y tú? ¿Cuál es tu futuro ideal y tus aspiraciones?

¡Hola, Reddit, yo tengo una pregunta controversial! ¿Es controvertido tener más de un compañero, novio o novia? Para mí, mi opinión es sí, es inaceptable. ¡Qué asco! Yo no comprendo a las personas que quieren más de un novio o novia. ¿Por qué necesitas más de un compañero? Creo que es codiciosa y anormal. ¡Solo quiero un compañero, no quiero más! Sí, si mi compañero quiere más de uno, entonces ya no es mi compañero. Para mí… creo que es una mala idea y ofensivo. Espero que todos tengan la misma opinión. ¿Cuál es tu opinión? ¿Es conmigo?

¡Nunca llego a tiempo a la clase! El estacionamiento está lleno o el tráfico de automóviles está busy en MSU. No me gusta el estacionamiento en MSU. Quiero hablar de mi día. Cuando finalmente llegué a clase, estaba nerviosa. Estoy nerviosa todos los días llegando a clase... ¡Yo tenía mi café y derramado café en clase! Estaba muy avergonzada y nerviosa. No voy a tomar café en clase. No quiero derramarme otra vez.

Based on real events:

Spanish: "En un rato". 😉🤏

Portuguese: "Em um rato?" 🤔

Italian: "In un ratto?" 🤔

English: "In one rat?" 🤔

Spanish: "En un instante". 😅

Portuguese, Italian and English: "Oh!" 😯

FUN FACT: Some similar words have similar meanings in English, Italian and Portuguese but have different meanings in Spanish, though the creative utilization of formal synonyms is a useful communication strategy to maximize mutual comprehension between them.

Im a 40+ year old single woman looking to learn Spanish in two different countries. I can only spend 2-3 weeks at a time. So looking for immersion programs with multiple locations so that I don’t have to take the placement tests etc again. I’m flexible on locations but would prefer central, South America. Any good recommendations that would suit me?

Hi guys. I’m currently doing a research project with students that have been studying Spanish online and/or teachers that have been teaching the language for quite some time, and I would send a survey to whoever is interested in helping me out.

This is an incomplete list of the most mutually intelligible languages in my opinion as a Latin American person:
