Customer Reviews
Motivational!
I have been wanting to learn and speak Spanish for decades. This podcast has lit a fire in me that will not go out. Listening to real life conversations from people that I can relate to and how they have made progress in their language journey. I have signed up with Spanish Con Salsa and so happy that I did!
Thank you Tamara!

What?
Ok, I’m a beginner. I know how to greet someone and count to ten. The first lesson was incredibly confusing. Then the second lesson I spend half of it listening to Spanish that is a little different and then told to go to the website for a transcript.
This is the worst learning experience I’ve had since high school.
I’m glad I didn’t give you any money.
Episode 147.5 is the truth 🙌🏾
I just returned from a trip visiting my language partner in Cali, Colombia 🇨🇴. I also ventured into the city via Uber and by foot and used a lot of these conversation responses during my 7 days. Great and valuable episode like many on this podcast 👏🏾
