In 2016, Daniel packed up everything to move from the San Francisco Bay Area to Medellín, Colombia. He soon found that having conversations with the locals in Spanish beyond basic interactions was a challenge.Drawing up his experience with language learning and the tech world, he began to experiment with the idea of creating a solution for intermediate Spanish learners to help them break through the plateau of just having basic conversations to really achieve fluency.The result of that quest is Lupa, an innovate app that provides ear training to help you get to the advanced level of listening comprehension. We talk about how he founded his company Jiveworld, the lessons he learned from over 30 years of learning languages, and how he connected with the team at Radio Ambulante to develop the Lupa app.Try Lupa for Free at lupa.app/salsaShow Notes: https://www.learnspanishconsalsa.com/109> LEAVE US A RATING & REVIEW (click here)Let us know how we're doing por favor!

Imagine if you could spend 4 months traveling to ALL the countries on your bucket list.  Our guest this week, Melissa Neacato, did just that with her family of four. Melissa, her husband, and 2 children took a four month 'mini-retirement' that included a road trip, spending one month in Ecuador, and another month in El Salvador.  She decided to take a non-traditional route for her family by embracing minimalism, focusing on paying down debt, and the concept of slow travel.  In our conversation, we talk about why she decided to travel to Ecuador and El Salvador and the experiences her family had traveling in Central and South America.  Melissa tells us about typical El Salvadorian food and Spanish words that have a different meaning in El Salvador. She also shares how she incorporates Spanish into her family and home life to give her children exposure to the language. Listen to the Episode + Get Show Notes: https://www.learnspanishconsalsa.com/129> Did you like this episode?  We'd love it if you gave us a rating & review on Apple Podcasts!  Just click here to leave a review or go to https://www.learnspanishconsalsa.com/review> Never miss a new episode!

In 2016, Daniel packed up everything to move from the San Francisco Bay Area to Medellín, Colombia. He soon found that having conversations with the locals in Spanish beyond basic interactions was a challenge.Drawing up his experience with language learning and the tech world, he began to experiment with the idea of creating a solution for intermediate Spanish learners to help them break through the plateau of just having basic conversations to really achieve fluency.The result of that quest is Lupa, an innovate app that provides ear training to help you get to the advanced level of listening comprehension.

Do you dream about leaving everything behind and moving to a Spanish-speaking country?  If you're thinking about taking the leap, then you'll want to hear Kai Cesaire's story.  Kai runs a YouTube channel called Kai's Foreign Adventures where you can find out anything you need to know about moving to and living in Spain from the experience of an African-American. Kai has been living in Spain for the past 3 years and he speaks Castilian Spanish.In part 1 of our conversation he shares why he decided to move to Spain and how he was able to meet people in different regions of the country.  Kai also explains how to find job opportunities and which language is in highest demand if you want to work in Spain.  We also touch on the cost of living and his experience with the Spanish healthcare system after he became very ill when he first moved there, and I think you'll be surprised by what happened when he checked out of the hospital.  Show Notes: https://www.learnspanishconsalsa.com/95LinksYouTube: Kai's Foreign Adventures: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCReR2McEojtntPJbBIBDmPQInstagram: @Kaic1983GIVEAWAY: Sign up to be a show supporter by October 31 and get a FREE Spanish lesson with a native speaker.

Is your Spanish progress slow because you’re learning in a way that’s boring, ineffective, or culturally irrelevant? In this episode, Desta Haile from Languages through Music shares lessons from her 15 years of experience as a language teacher and musician.  She talks about how she found herself still uncomfortable speaking French after more than a decade of formal classes, and how music helped to finally get her words flowing.  She’s since used this technique for both herself and her students to learn and teach Spanish, Portuguese, and other languages.  We hope this conversation with Desta inspires you to find a learning method that works for you.Show Notes & Transcript: https://www.learnspanishconsalsa.com/14 Links and ResourcesSongs Mentioned in the EpisodeEl Ratón by Fania All StarsMalamente by RosalíaLanguages through Music Mixcloud: mixcloud.com/languagesthroughmusicCoursesUdemy Courses (Portuguese, Spanish, and French)Learn Spanish with Music Beginner CourseFREE CLASS: How to Learn Spanish with Latin MusicGuestDesta Haile, Languages through MusicFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/languagesthroughmusic/Instagram: @languagesthroughmusic>>> Rate & Review <<<Let us know how we're doing por favor!
