I have not found any Spanish language learning podcast nearly close to the level of this one. Cesar feels like a friend and I hope he feels beyond proud of what he’s achieved. Cesar is helping people all around the world learn languages, not only connecting cultures, but also telling beautiful stories along the way and providing infinite value in the form of life advice. Just finished E151 of intermediate Spanish podcast and literally cried - what a beautiful written story Cesar. Thank you for sharing your piece of the world!!

I enjoyed the podcast so much I registered for the online class. I have now listened to the majority of the episodes and I dread the day that I got to the last one. Thank you for such great content. This podcast, and Spanish Language Coach in general, have helped me immensely!

I so appreciate the pace that he speaks and the personal note that he adds to each topic.

¡Muchas gracias por la buena calidad y las ideas profundas en tus episodios! He estado preparando para un mes trabajando en Perú este verano, y tus podcasts han estado muy útiles para practicar mi comprensión auditiva, al mismo tiempo que aprendo sobre tópicos interesantes.

A language learning podcast where he’s actually talking about super interesting things I enjoy discussing. Really down to earth. Amazing teacher. His students IRL are so lucky.

Not only is César a great “profe” but he is also a beautiful authentic human being. He is simply a pleasure to listen to. I am amazed at the depth of his discussions and the variety of the topics. Every day I look forward to listening to him and so far he has enriched my life with much knowledge and many different perspectives. His courses are fantastic too. Thank you, César for being you and teaching with patience and care.

César es lo mejor!

Talk into the microphone

I love this podcast especially since he shares things of general interest rather than focusing on “learning or teaching” type dialogues. You learn something while improving your Spanish.

I have listened to this podcast every day since I found it. It is a great way to practice Spanish comprehension. And Cesar is such a delight.

Descubrí el podcast de Cesar buscando podcasts para aprender el español. Empecé mi aprendizaje del idioma desde hace 3 meses (fue mi meta del año nuevo). Por casualidad, encontré el podcast de Cesar y me encantó! Cesar tiene una habilidad excepcional de explicar conceptos complejos en una manera sencilla así que puedo aprender el español y disfrutar de temas muy diversos y interesantes. Me encantó este podcast así que decidí de empezar el curo Español Agil desde hace dos semanas. Estoy aprendiendo mucho con Cesar y recomiendo sus podcasts y su curso a cien por cien!

In one episode, César says: “No necesitas un nivel avanzado para hablar de temas complejos”. And that right there is what is incredibly helpful and liberating about this his podcast! César is a very likable yet humble hosts who makes any subject interesting!

El programa de Cesar es increíble con contenido siempre relevante y interesante y además emocional y vulnerable. Se ve que César se pone su corazón en cada episodio y, como estudiante, me siento un vínculo con él. Lo importante es que se hace el aprendizaje divertido y espero con ganas escuchar más. El único problema es yo quisiera entrar en su curso online para aprender más, y especialmente el subjuntivo que evito a usar aquí, pero está siempre lleno. Como yo puedo entrar, César? No te decepcionaré. Estudiaré duro y te haré orgulloso de otro estudiante que solo quiere aprender pare abrir el mundo hispanohablante y para conectar mejor con toda los hispanohablantes agradables y bienvenidos en los EEUU. De toda manera continuaré tú estúdiate leal. Nick

Free transcripts and great convos thanks always Cesar!

Por muchos anos, yo quería mejorar mi español. Mi problema mas grande ha sido el desafío de encontrar recursos que sean a la vez interesantes y con un nivel appropriados para un estudiante de nivel intermedio. Este podcast hace los dos - es fácil entenderlo pero al mismo tiempo se trata de temas interesantes y relevantes para mi. Me gusta mucho y me ha ayudado mejorar mi comprensión y vocabulario!

I’ve been studying Spanish off and on for many years, and Cesar’s podcast motivates me to practice every day. He conveys warmth and kindness in his voice, and explains advanced vocabulary in simple terms so you don’t have to use a translator. The transcripts are easy to access and provide excellent reading practice. I recently enrolled in his online course and highly recommend it, too!

This is a great podcast for students with interesting topics. Caesar discusses many different types of topics and always shares his perspective, which keeps things interesting. I appreciate the wide variety and interesting subjects covered in this podcast. Production value is high and it makes it easy to listen to many episodes in a row!

The title sums it up. Latest example, while he recently moved back to Valencia, which then was hit by unheard of devastation, he entirely ignores that issue, missing the opportunity of relating his personal experience in lieu of boring us with the 10th time talking about supposed mental blocks in language learning. Otherwise decent production value with clear Spanish, just often quite boring content.

Mil gracias por hacerlo. Planeo tomar una clase. 😃

This is a great podcast to listen to, if you’re looking for a way to improve your listening and oral comprehension skills. The stories and subjects are usually very interesting and I’ve learned a lot about Spanish history in a fun way! I love the host’s voice and accent. He’s easy to understand and very soothing.

I love the topics ranging from pop culture to historical events and personal stories. Engaging, clear to understand and definitely helping my Spanish. Muchas gracias Cesar!

He is a woke Marxist but his podcasts are engaging, clearly understandable and helpful.

Me gusta este podcast mucho! Es entretenido y los temas me hacen pensar en una manera nueva. Es fácil entender César y los transcripciones y flashcards son muy útiles. Te recomiendo escucharlos.

Definitely my favorite intermediate Spanish podcast. The host speaks clearly and the topics are usually interesting enough to me to hold my attention. Keep up the good work 😊

Love this podcast!!!

This is a great podcast for learning Spanish. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I think Español Con Juan is slightly better. But I listen to both, and they are really helping me learn! Such a great resource. I wish I had found it earlier!

Cesar tiene un buen podcast y cada episodio es muy interesante. Él es divertido y simpático también.

Estos podcasts son un desafío Pero me ayudan mucho a entender una "conversación" normal a un ritmo normal. César tiene temas sumamente interesantes y los presenta de manera profesional. Recomiendo que las escuchen.

Me encantan los podcasts de Spanish Language Coach. Empecé con los de nivel de falsos principiantes y cuando terminé los episodios disponibles, decidí a probar los de nivel intermedio. Ha sido una viaje de aprendizaje muy buena! Estoy emocionado a continuar. Gracias, Cesar!

A great way to improve listening skills. I try to listen daily. Interesting and varied topics.

Muchas gracias por los podcasts. My encantan los diferentes temas del mundo. Hay tantos en el web pero es difícil encontrar uno que coincida con mis intereses. Sigo esperando el próximo 😀👍hasta luego!

Excellent way to improve your Spanish while learning about many interesting subjects.

I am an English as a Second Language Teacher and very familiar with language learning. This podcast is engaging, interesting and has the perfect mix of grammar in context along with relevant themes. The Intermediate Spanish course as well as the Advanced course are equally as engaging and the curriculum is well thought out and very accessible for students. The course and podcast weave cultural elements along with stories that help students remember grammar points. Excellent

The intermediate level is perfect for my level, not too fast, not too slow, and always engaging. I love the option to read the transcript to consolidate phrases that were new to me

I discovered this podcast a few months ago, and it has become my constant companion. Every day I listen to Cesar on my way home from work. What I love about this podcast is that, while I initially began listening to it to improve my Spanish comprehension, I realize now that I would continue listening to it, even if it were in English. Cesar chooses engaging topics and explains them in a thoughtful way. I’m deeply impressed with the research that clearly goes into each episode. I have devoured all of the advanced episodes, and I’m now making my way through the intermediate ones. I look forward to continuing in this delightful journey which Cesar. Thank you for this top quality podcast!

Empecé a escuchar a este podcast cuando era un falso principiante, y he logrado un nivel mucho más alto gracias a Cesar. Las temas de que las habla son muy interesantes hable lo que hable (no matter what you speak!)!

Podcast muy útil, me desafío escuchando el podcast, y luego compruebo mi comprensión con las transcripciones.

Me encanta esta podcast porque cubre temas que me interesan. Cuando empecé escuchar no me sentía que entendía mucho. Pero después algunos episodios mi mente se acostumbró a la velocidad y aprender vocabulario nuevo en contexto.

This is a great podcast. Very interesting stories and the Spanish pronunciation is super super clear. It is a huge plus that things are explained in English as well, so when things are “pushed” to higher level, a clear translation and explanation makes it all super clear. Love it!

This is so poetic yet clear. It's different to hear stories from the Coach's life. It keeps me listening more intently.

Cesar has very interesting episodes and speaks in a neutral manner, so it is helpful for all learners. I love that he creates the transcripts and flashcards for free.

Me encanta escuchar a César hablar de... bueno, ¡de cualquier cosa! Los temas son interesantes, sus comentarios son bien pensados (“thoughtful” in English) y siempre agrega algunas definiciones nuevas de una manera … natural y no esforzado. Me siento como si estuviera conversando con un amigo. Tomo clases particulares de español semanalmente (con otro profesor/amigo mío) y noto más facilidad al hablar y mejor comprensión cuando incorporo episodios de Spanish Language Coach con César. ¡Mil Gracias!

I have been listening to this podcast for months now. I am studying Spanish without formal training or classes and the area I have found the most difficult is the listening comprehension. This podcast is a huge help for that. I subscribed to News In Slow Spanish for awhile, but eventually I needed something that is closer to the speed and cadence of actual Spanish conservation. I find Cesar to be engaging, funny and thought-provoking so that keeps me engaged and listening. Highly-recommend for intermediate listeners.

I listen to one podcast each day while I’m out on my walk. Cesar is such a good instructor. His podcasts are well researched, thoughtful , and enjoyable to listen to. Not only do I learn Spanish, I also learn about a variety of topics he discusses. It’s perfect for an intermediate learner, and I feel like my vocabulary has definitely increased by listening.

I love it! I start every day with this podcast. It feels like I’m sitting in a cafe absorbing the language through immersion.

Topics are very effectively and thoughtfully presented. I’ve found it to be helpful practice. Cesar: I have a lot of sympathy for your life in the uk test experience. Years ago, when I went through the process, it was notoriously difficult with detailed trivia. My wife and I massively over prepared and then happened to get very easy questions. We were done in 3 minutes and got 100, but could easily imagine getting a random set of different questions that would have been very hard.

This is one of the three podcasts that form the core of my daily Spanish learning. And, it’s the only one of the three that provides the transcripts gratis. The main focus of my Spanish learning is Latin American Spanish. But, I find this podcast so useful that I include it as one of my main resources.

This podcast has been in my weekly rotation for over 2 years because it is just that good. Not only is Cesar an excellent teacher and a generous soul (free transcripts and flashcards!), but he is a role model for thoughtful, honest discourse on a wide range of topics. So not only does the podcast help me with my Spanish listening comprehension and vocabulary, but it also prompts me to reflect on the topics that Cesar covers. I have also participated in Cesar’s Español Ágil course, and I can say that his ability to explain grammar is phenomenal (yes, even and especially the subjunctive). Muchas gracias Cesar por compartir tus conocimientos en una manera tan hábil como sincera.

Thank you, Cesar. Estába buscando un podcast en español para mejorar mi español. Tus tópicos son interesante y disfrutándolos mucho.

Es perfecto en todo!
