SpanishPod101 Review – Good Content with Some Pointless Extras
SpanishPod101
Summary
SpanishPod101 primarily offers audio lessons for beginner level Spanish students. Unfortunately, the number of lessons available at the intermediate and higher levels drops off quite a bit. There are a lot of extra features, some of which are pretty cool, but many of which aren’t that useful. Overall, I think SpanishPod101 is pretty good but not sufficient by itself.
Everything works well and the lessons are high-quality
Great for beginners but intermediate and higher levels won’t get much out of it.
They’re sneaky about hiding the real prices but it’s still a low cost and extensive option.
I Like
- An absurd amount of content for lower level students.
- Uses Spanish from lots of different countries and includes interesting cultural insights.
- As you move up levels, English is used less and less.
- Grammar is taught very well.
I Don’t Like
- The lack of content for those past the beginner level.
- Lower level lessons include lots of English banter between the hosts.
- Some of the extra features are pointless, while others like the quizzes, aren’t very well done.
- Constant hard selling and email spamming.
