Spanish Podcasts for Beginners

I searched for a while on the web and found a few sites that had many spanish language podcasts like podbean.com and learnoutloud.com. In both of these I found a series of podcasts called "Spanish Podcasts for Beginners." As I explored the various podcasts, they start by introducing a topic and a few vocabulary words and phrases that are then used in a conversation between two individuals using diverse situations. I liked the fact that they coach you into practicing the pronunciation of the words and then have you listen to the dialogue. I think this can be easily added into my teaching by listening to these dialogues in class. These would serve as models of conversations by native speakers of a different dialect than mine. It would expose students to the dialect and also serve as a means for listening comprehension excercises. This would give them broader exposure to the diverse dialects and accents of Spanish speakers. Students could also listen to these at home and practice their speaking more. I would have to sit down and find the podcasts that match the topic I am teaching because the titles are by lessons, not specific topics, but it would still be worthwhile. I listened to lesson 2 (4 minutes) and was able to pair this up with my travel unit. I plan on using it when I get to this topic because it is good practice for the speaking task of the final exam in June. The more exposure they have to various topics and conversations, the better prepared they will be because it will be a "natural" setting for them.
