Learning Spanish by Podcast

In looking for ways to learn Spanish I ran across a number of podcasts that are targeted to students of Spanish. Some are way beyond my abilities now, but may be helpful once I get to the intermediate or advanced levels.

• Spanish Phrase of the Day - Daily dose about a Spanish phrase that helps you build your Spanish comprehension. Has been publishing almost daily since November 2005 from El Cajon, California. These 1 to 2 minute podcasts can be used by all levels of Spanish students.
• Rolling R’s - this is actually a video podcast starting at the beginner level by a Junior High School Spanish teacher in Mesa, Arizona. I like it except that the ’start-up’ time for each video is almost as long as the video itself. He has produced 29 video-casts since January 2006.
• Español Segunda Lengua para Todos  (ssl4you) - Has stories in Spanish and English that accompany the audio podcast. 30 podcasts have been released since she started publishing in February 2006 at a respectable rate of about 3 a month. Intermediate level. The podcast is based out of Zamora, Spain.
• Notes in Spanish - Has intermediate and advanced levels and you can purchase the worksheets that provide a complete transcript of the the Spanish conversation and a list of the vocabulary and phrases for each show. The podcast is recorded in Madrid, Spain by a native speaker and an American who learned Spanish after moving to Spain. The intermediate level just started in September of 2006 and has had 10 podcasts so far. The advanced has just released the 56th episode. Both seem to come out weekly.
• Trying to Learn Spanish - These podcasts are not designed to teach you Spanish as much as help you find the tools and resources that will help you learn Spanish. He has published 19 since March 2005, but only 4 were recorded this year. I am not sure if he ran out of time to produce the podcasts or if he ran out of material to talk about. The comments by listeners also have some good links to resources related to the podcast subjects.
• Podsonoro - I include this just in case you want to listen to Spanish podcasts, this site collects the links. It will be a while before I can even consider these.
