The Secret to Unlock Your Spanish Listening Skills (Interview with Daniel Raynaud, Jiveworld) ♫ 109 [ENCORE] Jun 14, 2022

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.

From Study Abroad Student to Entrepreneur (Interview with Latasha Moore, Tasha Teaches Spanish) ♫ 110 Feb 09, 2021

Latasha Moore went from waiting anxiously to finding out if she qualified for a study abroad program to applying for her first bilingual job, and finally starting her own business.

In our conversation, we talk about:

What qualifications you really need to work abroad (*spoiler alert: you DON'T need to pass any difficult exams to do it)
How cultural immersion helped her grow in her ability to speak Spanish
How she maintained her Spanish proficiency after returning to the United States after living and working abroad
The benefits of learning Spanish from a non-native speaker

Tasha obtained a BA in Spanish from Arkansas State University. After graduation she lived in Spain where she worked as an English teacher assistant. Upon returning to the US, she worked a series of jobs that involved using the Spanish language. She most recently worked as the Health Program Coordinator for El Zócalo Immigrant Resource Center and the Little Rock Mexican Consulate.

Her company Tasha Teaches Spanish is a Spanish education service that makes up for where school systems fall short. We believe that a child shouldn’t have to wait until junior high to begin learning a foreign language.

The Secret to Unlock Your Spanish Listening Skills (Interview with Daniel Raynaud, Jiveworld) ♫ 109 Feb 02, 2021

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.

The Black Expat: Creating a New Life in Spain Pt. I (Interview with Kai Cesaire, Kai's Foreign Adventures) ♫ 95 Oct 20, 2020

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.

Why Music is the Fast Track to Fluency (Interview with Desta Haile, Languages through Music) ♫ 14 Apr 02, 2019

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.

Lost in Translation: How to Avoid Confusion and Communicate Effectively in Intercultural Relationships ♫ 12 Mar 19, 2019

Lost in Translation: How to Avoid Confusion and Communicate Effectively in Intercultural Relationships (An Interview with Maribel Quezada-Smith from the podcast Diferente)
Learning Spanish goes hand-in-hand with learning about Latino culture. As we learn the language, we meet new people, make friends, and even start dating people outside of our own culture.
In this episode, we're going to talk about intercultural relationships with creative entrepreneur and podcast host Maribel Quezada-Smith. Maribel is from Mexico and her husband is from the United States. We talk about everything from dating to stereotypes and funny mistakes you can make when you *don't* know cultural norms.
I hope this conversation will help you get some insight on how to better communicate and connect with people across cultural lines.
