Hosts Jim and May are your guides, weaving together language learning and authentic travel experiences in every episode. You’ll be right there with them, eavesdropping on street market negotiations in Oaxaca, understanding the local history behind a plaza in Seville, or picking up the subtle slang used among friends in Buenos Aires.
