Learning Spanish by Podcast

In looking for different ways to work on my Spanish learning, I came across a number of podcasts targeted to students of Spanish. Some of the podcasts are way beyond my abilities now, but could be helpful once I get to the intermediate or advanced levels.

• Spanish Phrase of the Day - A daily Spanish phrase to help you build your Spanish vocabulary and comprehension and can be used by all levels of Spanish students.. The podcast has been published almost daily since November 2005.
• Rolling Rs - A video podcast beginning at the beginner level. Hosted by a Junior High School Spanish teacher in Mesa, Arizona. It is pretty good except that the ’start-up’ time for each video is almost as long as the teaching portion itself. 29 video-casts have been produced since January 2006.
• Español Segunda Lengua para Todos  (ssl4you) - The website includes the text of the podcast in both Spanish and English. Over 30 podcasts have been released since February 2006, a respectable rate of about 3 a month. The podcast is based out of Zamora, Spain.
• Notes in Spanish - Both an intermediate and advanced level podcast are available and you can purchase worksheets that provide a 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 10 podcasts produced so far. The advanced podcast just released it’s 56th episode. Both appear to be published 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.
