About Spanish Shadow Daily

A new Spanish lesson every day for English speakers, made for listening with no screen: graded stories to shadow, grammar taken apart, survival Spanish for the farmacia, the mercado and the metro, listening quizzes, a café chat between a learner and a native speaker from Spain, a weekly audio drama and slow Spanish news. Every episode is graded to a CEFR level (A1 to C2) and leaves you pauses to speak out loud. Want to see the words as well as hear them? Every kind of lesson here has an illustrated video version on our YouTube channel, with the Spanish and English on screen, new videos every day from A1 to C2, and longer lessons to shadow along with.
