  • Semana Santa told faster

    Semana Santa told faster
    Apr 17 2025

    This episode is a faster retell of La Semana Santa from season 4. Semana Santa, or “Holy Week” occurs the week before Easter. While it is a religious celebration all over the world, the most grand Semana Santa arguably is in Sevilla, España. The week is filled with processions of penitents and pasos that depict the events leading to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While it is a very religious event, you do not need to be religious to appreciate the history and culture of one of the longest living Spanish traditions.


    This story is told in the the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include “paso” (religious float), “Pascua Florida” (Easter), “llevar” (to wear), “cruz” (cross), and “cofradía” (brotherhood).

    El gatito atrevido
    Apr 14 2025

    Juan is a little cat. In a previous episode (El gatito valiente: https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2022/05/30/simple-stories-in-spanish-el-gatito-valiente/ ), Juan got separated from his family in a construction site. He was a shy, scared cat, but that experience made him brave and daring. Now Juan goes out of his way to explore the world around him. But he still prefers a good construction site.


    This story is in the third person and the present tense, with some past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “casco” (helmet) “destornillador” (screwdriver),“martillo” (hammer), “llave grifa” (pipe wrench), “almádena” (sledgehammer), “la pared” (wall) and “alfombra” (carpet).

A fresh new approach to language learning.

So fun! Textbook learning is so much more boring than listening to these stories. The clear, careful diction of the narration makes each word in the stories audible. In addition, the transcripts are all available online, which makes following along possible. These stories really give the language a personality. Definitely worth the listen if you are at an intermediate learning stage.

This is a fun story.

I'm not much passed day 1 of Spanish 1, so I can't understand much yet. With the notes, I could understand all of the first story.

Great for intermediate Spanish!

Great for anyone who has broad Spanish vocabulary but doesn’t have anyway to practice. Will definitely take you from beginner to intermediate. The stories are funny and entertaining and give you chance to understand words by their context.

Good stories to help learn Spanish!

I like this podcast to help me grow my vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension in Spanish. I think it's great for beginner to intermediate learners.

Some reviews complain about her pronunciation. I think it's better to think of it as her English accent. She's not a native Spanish speaker, so if you're looking to really improve your pronunciation and lose your accent, it might be better to find a story podcast with native speakers (I like Duolingo's podcast for this).

But there is value in having simple stories told in a slow, clear pace to help auditory comprehension, vocab, and grammar. I listen to these stories before bed, and they're really lovely to fall asleep to. :-)

Not an easy listen

I love the idea here and see it as truly valuable, but did not enjoy the performance. I found it difficult to listen to and wanted it to be over. Great concept though. Having done Duo Lingo for so long I have come to expect better pronunciation and this fell short.

Great idea, good stories, painful pronunciation.

The pronunciation is nothing short of cringeworthy, kudos to her for trying this, but I'm new to Spanish and I can't even deal with it. Better to have a native speaker or viable pronunciation.
