Spanish in Five
by Si5
¡Hola! Spanish in Five is a collection of short and simple podcasts about everyday topics or current events. I'm a native speaker from South America with a day job, doing this for fun. I hope you find it useful and, occasionally, entertaining. All the episodes are about five minutes, so you you can pick one up while having breakfast, on your way to work, or waiting for that friend who just never learned to be on time (I know, you may have to listen to two or three before they arrive)! I’m passionate about languages and I hope this podcast will help you improve your Spanish skills.
