We’d like your feedback on Show Time Spanish

Lesson 10 marks the end of the first season of Show Time Spanish. We'd really like to hear what you think about the show. A huge amount of time and effort goes into each show – around 15 hours each week! – and we'd really like to hear from you to find out if you feel we're on the right tracks. You can either comment on this post – just click the "Comments" link below, or you can review Show Time Spanish on iTunes. Indeed, if you have specific feedback about any particular lesson, please post your comments on that lesson as listed here in the library. We're also 'recruiting' some listeners to provide testimonials for use in our marketing material, so if you're interested, let us know: email support [at] radiolingua.com and we'll be in touch.

 
It's perhaps worth pointing out that we know that we don't do as much 'hand-holding' as we did with Coffee Break Spanish, but that's entirely deliberate. The most popular request we had from experienced CBS listeners was for authentic conversations to improve listening skills.
 
We'd be delighted to hear what you think, and look forward to your messages. Show time will be back mid January with our second season and we look forward to bringing you a few new elements in the show as well as what you've come to expect.
