Lesson Channels » Spanishpod ¿qué pasa?

Big news: Lexiofiles has put us on their Top 10 Language Learning Podcasts, and we are the highest ranking Spanish podcast! Thanks, of course, to our users, who really make our site what it is! Fake news: Esti's getting fat! Not really, but it gives us an excuse to talk about next week's upcoming lessons. Keep your eye out for a workout lesson (by request!) and a shopping lesson, as well as a few surprises...

Today in the big podcast, sound engineer extraordinaire Davidico joins Leo and JP in the studio for an interview about SpanishPod sound effects, and how he cleans up our sound and makes us presentable. We've thrown in some clips of our favorite shows, as well as a clip of raw audio from the first SpanishPod ¿Qué pasa?. Enjoy! P.S., thanks Lisa, for sound engineering this podcast for us!

Today we're joined by Amber from ChinesePod's Dear Amber, who has something to crow about, now that she has her own iTunes channel!

Leo and JP have a lot to crow about as well: success of the SpanishPod groups, the LanguageProd Facebook application, and our recent Web 2.0 Award in SEOmoz.org's Education category.

Finally, JP has a big interview with Mignon Fogarty, from GrammarGirl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing, whose US book tour starts today!

Leo and JP discuss the new Guided Plan subscription, where you can have your own counselor to help you with all your questions about Spanish, every day of the week. At the beginning of your Guided Plan, your counselor will call you to give you a quick needs assessment, to check your goals, assess your level, and assign you some lessons according to your interests. At the end of the month, the counselor will call you back to see how you're progressing. If you subscribe to one year of the Guided Plan subscription during the month of June, we'll knock $50 off the price, and send you a DVD of the SpanishPod lesson archive... think of all the time you'll save not having to download! Subscribe to the new SpanishPod Guided Plan subscription, and stay on track with your learning goals!
