Con otras palabras // Spanish Podcast
by Agustina Palenque
Hola, I'm Agustina — an Argentine Spanish teacher based in Buenos Aires. I created "Con Otras Palabras" because I want to open up the conversations I share with my students. This podcast is for intermediate and advanced learners who want to engage with literature, history, and culture from Argentina and Latin America — not as a study exercise, but as a genuine experience. Each episode explores a different topic: a book, a social question, a story that carries something of how many of us see the world from here.

Why learn Spanish in 2026? / ¿Para qué aprender español?
Jacinta has an Irish passport and a very Mexican name. She told Agustina she's learning Spanish because in this language, her inner voice is much kinder to herself than in English.In this first episode of "Con Otras Palabras", Agustina asks a question that feels almost embarrassing in 2026: why learn a language at all? With reflections of Morábito, Borges, and Molloy, she thinks out loud about what we're really looking for when we reach for another language.Natural Argentine Spanish. Intermediate–advanced level (B1–C1).Extra notes and transcript: https://substack.com/@conotraspalabras
