Remember that feeling of studying a language for years, only to draw a complete blank the moment you need to speak it? Speaking Spanish for Beginners is built for that exact frustration. Host Marco Fierro, a tutor and founder of Latin ELE, understands the gap between textbook knowledge and real conversation. This podcast is designed for English speakers who are starting from zero or need to rebuild their confidence from the ground up. Each episode feels like a supportive, one-on-one session where you’ll find easy-to-follow lessons that focus on practical speaking skills. You’ll hear guided practice for pronunciation and common phrases, all approached with a sense of patience and fun.
