The auto-grading of Edpuzzle is not only a time-saver for teachers, but allows students to have feedback on what answers they got right or wrong!

We bring you real Spanish conversations on real-life topics, making you totally confident with your Spanish.

From me: Ben and Marina have Beginner and Intermediate level podcasts on a range of topics. I love listening to them! Ben is not a native speaker of Spanish, but Marina is! This married couple converses about every day, relevant topics, and helps students learn vocabulary and even slang expressions that are part of every day Spanish language!

Who can use this product:

• Students at the Intermediate Level and higher
