195. La esperanza

Welcome to ¡Cuéntame!, a podcast designed especially for Spanish learners who want to improve their listening skills through real stories and authentic topics—in real Spanish!

In Episode 195, host Marta talks about a powerful emotion that keeps us going during difficult times: hope—la esperanza.

This podcast episodes include two versions to support different learning levels:

1. First, there’s a scaffolded version, where Marta speaks slowly and includes some English to help guide comprehension.

2. Immediately after, listeners will hear the same episode at a natural pace, without translations, for a more immersive experience.

At the end of the episode, there’s a translation quiz to review key vocabulary and check understanding—so be sure to listen all the way through!
