Level:<\/strong> Beginner<\/p>\n This blog has listening lessons that cover ordinary situations.<\/strong><\/p>\n Transcripts accompany the conversations so you can see what\u2019s being said and listen to the words simultaneously.<\/p>\n As the lessons progress, the coursework increases in difficulty. This is great for beginners or anyone who wants a refresher on the fundamentals of Spanish.<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Beginner<\/p>\n While AudioViator is intended for travelers, it’s also a great option for Spanish learners.<\/p>\n AudioViator offers narrated Spanish-language travel guides for destinations around the world. This is a great way to practice listening while picking up geography and travel terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n This website features a wide range of Spanish listening practice options.<\/p>\n There are videos from five Spanish-speaking countries, meaning there\u2019s plenty of diversity among the native speakers.<\/strong><\/p>\n Not every Spanish dialect<\/a> sounds the same, and location affects accents and idioms. Who knows? You might hear a new dialect\u00a0and fall in love with the sound!<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n Easy Spanish from Easy Languages offers over 200 unique YouTube videos<\/strong> for listening practice.<\/p>\n Perhaps the best feature is that the audio is from real people from different Spanish-speaking countries, including Mexico, Spain and Peru to get you to understand several regional accents.<\/p>\n The video captions also contain both Spanish and English translations.<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n LibriVox takes books already in the public domain and transforms them into e-books and audiobooks for everyone to enjoy for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n Each book includes a short biography of the author, individual audio files for each chapter, a download option and a link to the online text, which can also be printed.<\/p>\n If you feel this listening method is too complex for entire books, you can always download the audiobooks and listen to them passively while you commute, clean your house or relax on the beach.<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Upper Beginner to Intermediate<\/p>\n If you’re an upper beginner or intermediate student who wants to practice listening to Spanish news but aren’t quite ready for the speed of actual newscasts, this is a great option.<\/p>\n News in Slow Spanish offers real news spoken slower than typical conversations.<\/strong><\/p>\n Additionally, there’s a supporting transcript if you have trouble with the audio. You can even hover over some words for definitions!<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n Gritty Spanish is a street Spanish course featuring Spanish from Latin America, Spain and New York that will introduce you to the fine art of Spanish cursing.<\/strong><\/p>\n You’ll hear Spanish that you don’t hear in any other course because everyone else is too afraid to get real.<\/p>\n But be warned\u2014this course is meant for adults who don’t mind politically incorrect topics and vulgarity. However, there’s a censored version for the more sensitive language learner.<\/p>\n Check out our full review here<\/a> if you want a deeper dive into Gritty Spanish.<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n This Spanish resource has adapted the storytelling method, transforming a long story into short podcast episodes with transcripts.<\/p>\n Each episode of the story is narrated by one of its main characters. The clips include a story fragment (heard twice), the transcript and a glossary with difficult words.<\/p>\n The episodes are around five minutes long, making them perfect for micro-listening sessions<\/a>.<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n With this website, you can join a practice group (or form your own), choose one of the supplied lesson plans and start listening!<\/p>\n The live conversations are face-to-face (if every participant lives in the same area) or using voice chat.<\/p>\n Group members take turns speaking and leading discussions and give gentle corrections regarding pronunciation, grammar points and other issues.<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n There are many awesome YouTube channels for learning Spanish<\/a>, but few are as entertaining as HolaSoyGerman (Hello I’m German).<\/p>\n This Chilean YouTuber makes funny videos (with some adult language).<\/p>\n You’ll practice your listening and maybe even pick up some punchlines.\u00a0<\/strong>Unfortunately, this channel no longer updates, but it has such a great collection of videos that it’ll still be helpful.<\/p>\n Level:<\/strong> Intermediate<\/p>\n I\u2019m a big fan of this podcast site as the content is consistently unique, fun and entertaining.<\/p>\n Take the podcast episode about “<\/em>Copa Am\u00e9rica<\/a>,” <\/em>for example\u2014a huge football tournament in South America.<\/p>\n Or “<\/em>El Superh\u00e9roe<\/a>,”<\/em>\u00a0an episode about an Argentine man with a bizarre hobby involving a superhero costume.<\/p>\n The site is a real treat if you\u2019re looking for something out of the ordinary.
