    Still makes beginner mistakes
    • Needs to open up more open syllables, and add pauses between clauses • Needs to learn better intonation • Needs to learn better word selection, including colloquialisms • Should try sprinkling in “utilizar” here and there Everything else is excellent

    Beautiful Spanish
    I am Nigerian and I learned a bit of Spanish in the US and back home I listen to you Karo. I feel close to being better in my listening experience when I hear your podcast. My only challenge is learning tenses of verbs with the speed at which you speak! In all I love your podcast! Well done

    Otra vez un podcast magnífico! Estoy de acuerdo con Karo--es el olor del café que es lo mejor. No me gusta beber café para nada, pero el olor...Qué rico! No entiendo por qué a tantos les gusta beber este perfume! Gracias Karo y Mauro! Cada uno de sus podcasts me ayuda a progresar en me capacidad de entender y hablar español.

    Bien hecho. De los mejores
    Escucho un montón de podcasts. Esto es uno de los mejores. Karo sabe lo que es aprender nuevo idioma así que sabe enseñar. Lo doy cinco estrella porque no hay seis.

    Great way to learn Spanish
    I put this podcast on when I am doing things around the house, and I feel like I’ve picked up on so much Spanish already! I love the speed, style, and content of the episodes. Keep up the great work!

    Una inspiración
    Karo, eres una gran inspiración para mí. Yo también soy políglota y profesora de español, y este podcast me ha servido de motivación a la hora de buscarles materiales auténticos a mis alumnos. Yo como fanática de los idiomas habría flipado si algo de este tipo hubiese existido cuando yo primero me puse a aprender el español, que era unos años antes de la existencia del iPhone y los podcast. Como alguien que ha estudiado varios idiomas tanto en el sentido tradicional como por cuenta propia, puedo constatar que los tips compartidos por Karo y Mauro sobre el aprendizaje de lenguas son 100% acertados. Este podcast es muy agradable de escuchar incluso si tienes un nivel muy avanzado del castellano, y hasta me recuerda expresiones españolas que ya no oigo con frecuencia estando en los EEUU. :) Gracias por hacer estos recursos excelentes disponibles al público.

    Improve your Spanish listening
    EA is a great listening tool on it's own but is also accompanied by other resources Karo discusses in the podcast. When I study Spanish with Karo's methods consistently, I see an improvement in my conversation skills.

    Gracias a español automático aprendí mucho. Los 7 leyes mi abrieron los ojos. Karo y Mauro me están ayudando no solamente con aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera si no también con desarrollo personal. Los temas de los podcast son interesantes, divertidos y muy útiles. Sigo aprendiendo algo nuevo con cada episodio. Mil gracias Karo y Mauro un abrazo muy fuerte.

    I have been learning Spanish for nearly a year now and Español Automático with Karo has been one of my favorite resources for learning. Between her podcast, her YouTube, and her blog - she is an amazing teacher and I recommend her to any language learners I met, whether they are new and old, learners will find benefit! ¡Gracias Maestra!

  • Siempre México
    Mis inicios en España
    Muchísimas gracias por este episodio. Fue fascinante, pero también lo encontré ser muy alentador. Las historias son interesantes, pero la manera en la que Karo aprendió español y ahora habla perfectamente es inspirador. Escuché la entrevista en camino a casa y no pude dejar de escuchar aún después de llegar a casa!
  • Mashoollia

    Currently at a B2 level in Spanish
    I’m really enjoying your podcasts and understanding a lot if not almost all that you are saying. Thank you for creating this content for us language learners. After studying on my own for years and still not being able to have a fluid conversation, I’m convinced the secret is in the listening. I can’t wait to see where my level is at this time next year!

    La mejor manera a aprender lo que escuchas
    Mi primer idioms es inglés. En el pasado, yo usaba discos compactos y leía libros españoles. Conoci mas o menos lo que leí, pero no podría seguir la tele o peliculas. Puedo entender los podcasts de Karo y con las transcripciones, puedo seguir y entender todos. Karo tiene la mejor manera a entender un hablante español
  • Karen de San Diego, CA
    ¡Fantástico!
    ¡Recientemente, encontré este Podcast Estañol Automático y me lo encanta! Soy de los Estados Unidos y tengo mucha gratitud para el idioma español y la cultura de países hispanohablantes. Porque es difícil encontrar maneras útiles para practicar el idioma, yo pienso que este podcast es el mejor. La información es útil e interesante. Gracias por todos sus esfuerzos.
  • DavidHarina
    El mejor podcast para aprender español
    El mejor. Por razones que voy a decir. Hace muchos años que estudio español. Mi idioma nativo es inglés. He estudiado español en España y tengo un nivel alto. Pero también tengo los problemas de que Karo habla. Hay momentos de obstrucción total. No puedo decir lo que quiera y también no puedo entender lo que oiga. Descubrí los podcasts. Fue como una revelación. Hay podcasts excelentes. Los mejores te dan un transcripción. Es muy importante como Karo dice que comprendas lo que escuches. Pero ¿por qué dije que este podcast era el mejor? Ahora voy a explicarlo en inglés. It’s because this podcast and everything Karo does is based on the latest and most important research into language acquisition. I’m a language teacher too. When I started watching her 7 laws on learning, I realized this. And when she mentioned TPRS, which is a methodology of teaching foreign language that is sweeping the English speaking world, I realized that I had found the podcast and the site I’d been looking for. She knows what she’s doing with the comprehensible input, the repetition, and the story telling. She’s the real deal. Give this podcast and everything Karo and Mauro offer a chance. They have put an unbelievable amount of time, thought, and energy into this. It’s not for beginners, but intermediate and above will discover an amazing resource here. Chao y suerte!

    Excellent
    Great content! For those struggling to take that next step to conversational Spanish or feel frustrated with their lack of progress despite years of study, this is an absolute gem.
  • Lael_406
    Te critican o les critiques a los demás?
    Que razón tienen, Karl y Mauro. A partir de ahora me notaré ser critic!
  • lisa e e
    Love your podcast!
    I just finished listening to your podcast on 007 on LingQ. It has been my favorite lesson on this app to date! Your voice, content & laughter make bettering my Spanish, fun. Thank you for great content & style!
  • mmkieran
    Un podcast exceptional
    Yo empecé a aprender español con un Rosetta Stone porque a mi trabajo nosotros tenemos clientos que solo hablar español. Rosetta Stone era bueno para principiantes pero despues yo no entendí los nativos y cuándo era capaz yo no tenía la confianza a hablar con ellos. Con los podcasts de Karo yo estoy capaz que entender mucho más de los clientos y a veces puedo hablar con ellos :) Muchas gracías, Kieran
  • Courtney 9
    Me encata hasta ahora!
    Empecé escuchar a este podcast hace unas semanas y me encanta este método de aprender español. Las temas son interesantes y Karo habla muy claramente. Estoy emocionado por escuchar todos los episodios. Muchas gracias por todos estos recursos!
  • LizEymann
    Mi podcast favorito!
    Hola Karo, muchas gracias por crear este podcast. Me ayuda un montón a desarollar mi comprension auditiva! Llevo mas de diez años estudiando español, pero me falta la confianza a hablarlo con fluidez. Estoy segura que con tus podcasts, voy a mejorar! Muchas gracias por todo lo que haces. Un abrazo enorme de EEUU.
  • Individual #1
    Hard to hear
    The content is great but the audio is weak. The background music makes it hard to hear the instructors. El podcast es bueno pero la música hace difícil escuchar la maestra.
  • AaronOBrien
    My favorite so far
    I’ve been learning Spanish for about a year and Karo does a great job speaking at the right level to make listening a challenge but not overwhelming. If you are trying to learn EspañolAutomatico has a lot of resources - the podcast is fabulous but just the beginning.
  • Ananda2526
    The only problem is that I didn't find it sooner!
    I love this podcast! I really appreciate the time, effort, and obvious planning she has put into the episodes and the supporting material. I have found it to be very helpful in improving my listening skills and in helping me aquire additional vocabulary that people use in speaking. I also like that I have learned the "filler" words or phrases that people use when pausing or thinking, because I hear how she does it naturally. That goes a long way to make a speaker sound more native, since that varies so much between languages. Thank you so much! I can't recommend it enough.
  • Ash_821
    Fulfills its stated goals excellently
    Karo Martinez has very well-defined goals for her podcast: give intermediate-level Spanish students the tools and motivation to advance their understanding of the spoken language and to progress toward fluent oral expression in Spanish. I have listened to the first 10 podcasts and the free "7 Leyes" course and have been impressed with the well-organized and well-presented content. It is not for beginners, as it is totally in Spanish that is spoken clearly but at a medium conversational rate. It seems perfect for people like me who have a decent command of the grammar and vocabulary yet struggle with comprehension of real-life speech and have difficulty communicating fluently. The podcast topics mostly focus on Karo's personal language learning strategies, the vernacular of spoken Spanish, and self-motivation, but some of the more interesting episodes are discussions of topics that don't have anything to do with Spanish per se, like her opinions about movies or travel destinations. She does a good job of doubling back to explain the meanings of the more obscure words or expressions that she uses. This makes it easy to acquire new vocabulary and to follow unfamiliar topics of conversation without having to stop and look things up. I agree with some of the more critical reviews that there is a lot of auto-advertising, but overall this does not detract from the educational value of the podcast. One can fast-forward the audio if advertisements and review requests get too tiresome. Overall, I am glad to have found this resource. I am confident that listening to the rest of the series will advance my goal of being able to communicate fluently with native speakers in real-world situations.

    Great Podcast
    I have been listening to several podcasts to improve my Spanish skills. Español Automático is definitely one of the best I have been using. Karo does a great job with explaining the language and adding information you would not learn in text books. How recommend the pod cast to anyone looking to improve their skill with the language.
  • jtc022
    Excellent resource for intermediate to advanced
    I’m a surgical resident and was afraid that I would never have time to keep my Spanish fresh, until I discovered this podcast. I listen to it everyday on my commute to and from the hospital and that time alone has helped me to acquire new vocabulary and become confident in my listening skills. I’d recommend this to anyone who speaks some Spanish already or took it in school and is serious about improving their Spanish and making the jump towards someone who actually listens, understands, and synthesizes new language.
  • Yamila K
    The Spanish podcast I’ve been looking for!
    I’ve been listening to many different podcasts for learning Spanish and I haven’t been enjoying them so much... I’m so glad I’ve found Español Automático sooner than later because it’s been so beneficial. Karo is very articulate and she speaks just at the right speed. She gets every episodes transcribed and prepares little booklets for every episode’s content for FREE. That alone tells you how much effort she puts into this podcast. You could never be wasting your time with Español Automático. Muchas gracias Karo!
  • talesabrantes
    ¡Mucho más que magia!
    Me sorprende cómo Karo logró engancharme a los podcasts y cómo, de hecho, aprender español se convirtió en rutina (automático). Teniendo en cuenta que descubrí este canal recientemente, elegí escucharlo desde el primer episodio del podcast. Hago esto en el autobús todos los días de camino a la universidad. Una rutina que alguna vez fue estresante y tediosa se convirtió en un aprendizaje permanente gracias a la magia del español automático de Karo. Además de ayudarme a evolucionar mi aprendizaje del español hablado, el podcasting también me ha ayudado a lograr el examen de dominio de idioma extranjero, más alto, requerido en el programa de PhD al que estoy asistiendo actualmente. Karo, muchas gracias por tu dedicación, sin sentarte, a la difusión del conocimiento. Yo, Tales y un mundo de personas te felicitamos. ¡Abrazo!!
  • DNoble27
    Absolutely Wonderful
    Karo speaks in a very clear and neutral Spanish that is easy to understand. She has various topics for the podcasts so it’s always entertaining. I have listened to over 20 of her podcasts and have loved every single one
  • Harrisburg Chris
    Perfect!
    I only discovered Karo today with the youtube video of how we aren't actively listening, therefore not learning. Then I went to the podcast, and I'm already two episodes in. Karo habla perfectamente en una manera que se puede entender, aprender, y seguir. It is THE PERFECT podcast for intermediate learners who are frustrated trying to break through to un nivel mas alto. Muchisimas gracias a Karo y todos. Me mola!
  • LJTanz
    I can't do it on my own
    I've been trying to learn Spanish on my own and have gotten frustrated with looking at telenovelas where I only understand a small percentage of what is being said. Listening to Karo has made me realize that I need to listen actively and to small clips at a time over and over again. I've only been doing it for a week, but am truly amazed at what I understand after listening to it multiple times. Thank you for your guidance.
  • Dr. Mil
    Good postcast, if you’re okay with built-in ads
    This is a great podcast if you’re an intermediate learner hoping to become more advanced. There are some excellent episodes that cover grammar, common phrases, and even idioms. However, many of the episodes seem to be like advertisements, where half (if not the majority of the content) is geared toward asking the audience to write reviews, give stars, and donate to Patreon. Although I understand the importance of marketing, this constant focus on reviews, awards, and donations detracts from the learning experience and takes up time that could be used to focus on learning subtleties of the language. Otherwise, a very informative podcast.
