Mini Stories to Learn Spanish

Hello there! Welcome to my podcast: Mini Stories to learn Spanish. This is a podcast for high beginners and intermediate learners of Spanish. In this podcast, you can listen to short histories to help you learn Spanish, improve your Spanish and reach your goal to speak Spanish. I’m Joel Zárate. I am the podcast producer. I hold two masters’ degrees: a MA in Spanish and a M.Ed in TESOL and my area of specialization is Second Language Acquisition, how we learn languages. I hope you like this podcast and that it helps you to advance in your journey to learn Spanish.

SUPPORT JOEL, MY PODCASTS AND MY WORK

This year 2025, I am not using GoFundMe to raise funds.

This year, if you would like to support me and my work, please buy my short novels on Amazon. If every single one of you who listens to the podcasts buy my two short novels, I will have plenty of funds to continue the podcasts when I am able to come back from my medical procedures, recovery and rehabilitation. The books are inexpensive. They are only $4.99, and they are instantly downloadable on Amazon Kindle.

MY BOOKS

My Author’s Page

https://www.amazon.com/author/joelzarate

Find them here, too, by country (where available).

https://www.jezsc.com/mystore/index.html

If you don’t read books on Amazon Kindle, or if you don’t use the kindle app on you iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy or any other device, just buy the books as way to support my work. You can think of it as contribution to help me continue the podcasts in the future and compensate me for the work I have done to help you with your Spanish.

Thank you so much for your support.

Joel Zárate.
