Reach C1 Spanish / Spanish Business Podcasts
Hola hola,
I have a pretty good Spanish level (probably B2), mostly gained from school 6 years ago, watching Netflix, speaking on Italki regularly, reading And travelling (however intentional practice is a bit irregular/a bit in waves sometimes). However I feel like I’m plateauing where my current level is enough to get around with no problem but I’m missing the last mile to fluency / to using the perfect grammar, adequate vocab, and using more idiomatisms.
What are some advice to go past this advanced intermediate plateau ? Anything welcome.
Secondly, I would like to gain more business specific vocab in tech/finance so would like to listen to Spanish speaking podcasts. Some of the ones I listen to in English are Invest like the best, Business Breakdowns, and crypto stuff. But more generally I am interested in business, finance, tech, psychology and personal development. Any good recs?
Many thanks!!
Actually if anyone has twitter accounts to recommend it would be nice as well !
Have a look at Value School channel on youtube. Plenty of content in Spanish.
Thanks, yep that looks good!
te recomiendo lo siguiente
aprendemos juntos, un canal en youtube y también tienen un podcast
top de impacto, otro canal
visualpolitik, otro canal
para psicología, escucho al ted en español, el estoico, entiende tu mente, el fondo filosófico, y el rincón de aquiles
para diversión, diego dreyfus, un poco controversial, pero al mismo tiempo introspectiva, interesante, y bien para frases más coloquiales
justo anteayer, encontré al sitio web del instituto mises que tiene muchísimas artículos en español. obviamente son pesados y dificiles, pero te darán un vocabulario mejor para tus metas, imagino.
pero lo que necesitas más de una técnica es tiempo y paciencia, el proceso de llegar al fluidez (me considero el nivel B2 o C1, no he hecho ningún test de CEFR) no es linear.
al final, deberías tener en mente que B2 es fluido, y muchos hispanohablantes nativos no usan diaramente español al nivel C2 o tal vez C1, sola significa que puenden hablar así.
si tienes otras preguntas, avísame!
Maravilloso
donde aprendiste a hablar espannol?
empecé en colegio pero después de graduarme, lo olvidé más o menos. reinicié de aprenderlo durante la pandemia. siempre quería llegar a la fluidez y la pandemia me dio bastante tiempo para estudiar. usé italki, easy spanish (canal en youtube), libros (traducidos al castellano y escrito originalmente en castellano), episodios de podcast en castellano (ya los he mencionado arriba), y cuando pudiera, viajar (fui a Mexico al final de 2020 y al Puerto Rico al inicio de 2021).
según yo, la cosa que me ayudó lo más es italki. tuve la suerte de encontrar a profes simpáticos, ayudables, pacientes, así. no hubiera podido llegar a este nivel sin ellos
de donde eres?
gracias chamo!
Visual politic is good. Native podcasts might stretch you at first but I listen to the following fairly regularly:
Conclusiones (typical CNN show, don’t agree with all their takes but it’ll keep you up to date on LATAM specific stuff)
Momento Financiero (Mexican economists that talk shit for half and business for the other, fairly Mexico specific)
Dementes (the host interviews prominent entrepreneurs from mostly LatAm)
DianaUribe.fm (award winning Colombian journalist that goes deep into the places she has been, different than the above but your vocab will improve a lot)
Lastly, you may already know about this but check out radio garden. Basically it gives you a globe and you can pick any city anywhere and listen to the radio from there. I have it on when I WFH sometimes but you can vary it each day to make sure you are understanding different accents from different places. Talk/news stations will be the best obviously.
Honestly, I'd shit post on Reddit in spanish speaking subs. Nothing like conversing on the daily with other spanish speakers and seeing how they talk.
