Joan Comellas of Qué Pasa Español

In this episode of Language Learning Insights, I talk with Joan Comellas, co-founder of Qué Pasa Español, one of the most popular podcasts for intermediate Spanish learners.Joan shares how he went from teaching history to building a thriving online Spanish-learning community through authentic conversations, podcasts, classes, books, and immersion experiences in Spain. We discuss why authentic input is so valuable, whether simply listening to podcasts is enough to improve your language learning, how to stay motivated through the long intermediate stage, practical approaches to learning multiple languages, and why consistency matters far more than perfection.Whether you're learning Spanish or any other language, you'll come away with practical advice on building effective habits, finding learning methods you genuinely enjoy, and making language learning part of your everyday life.
