Real Spanish, Real voices 🎧

¿Quién será? Ep.1 Sports Celebrity

On this first ¿Quién será? episode, Silvia and I give you six main clues, with plenty of detail, to help you guess which famous sports figure we’re talking about.

You’ll hear two different Spanish accents: one from the north and one from the south. They might sound a bit different from what you’re used to in our other reading and listening exercises, where we usually use more standardized accents.

We want our podcasts to sound authentic, just like real Spanish voices.
