Hola
My friends John Connell and Stuart Robertson directed me to your site. I plan to stand at the Sun Gate on Machu Picchu next summer on my 60th birthday. With your help I’ll be able to communicate with the locals. (Well, those who speak Spanish anyway!)
Many thanks.

love coffee break spanish! You are amazing, and I think a little too hard on your singing voice…it is perfect for my commute in Los Angeles and beats listening to the news. Thank you sooo much!

Prosperos Anos Nuevos, Mark y Kara!

Mark – OMG !!!! I am an African American Irish Native American and I can tell you that your Scottish accent is very cool !!! This is what is great about your passion of teaching language – it does not matter where you are from, its what you are adding to this planet – YOU ARE HELPING PEOPLE and some people and you are making a difference. I love these lessons so much. Keep it up, especially with Matthew because he was the absolute cutest !!!! Ciao Mi Hermano

I’m german and learning a little bit of spanish with your podcasts now. I did it with daily-phrase-italian and it was really nice to be not that non-speaking in italy and also practise english as a side effect….. I know I’m not perfect after your podcasts, but… the “natives” in italy where delighted and I got everything I wanted… I hope for the same effect in Spain in February.. I will write you when I’m back

Greetings from near Cologne

Hey Mark,
As an American, I have to say that I love the attempt at the flat American accent you and Kara did when you recorded this. And, thank god, we don’t all sound like that. Oh, and as to the comments about your “Irish accents”, I’m afraid that many of my countrymen aren’t even aware that there is a difference. I look forward each new, well new for me, lesson. And, one other thing, Me gusta cantar tambien, and enjoy the songs you share.

Hasta luego,
Arnie

Oh, Mark I beg you, do not feed the trolls!
I love your lessons (in Show Time Spanish)
and your Spanish accent too. There so no need
to discuss about it at all.

Saludos cordiales de Polonia.

@Irish… LOLOL I do love these comments. As we’ve said many times before on our website, on iTunes and in our episodes themselves, we are in fact Scottish, and as the teacher on the show I’m perfectly comfortable with my Spanish accent having lived and worked in Spain. It may not be the Spanish accent you’re used to if you’re in the US, but you don’t have to look very far to see very positive comments on my Spanish accent. Of course I sound Scottish when I speak in English – I’m hardly likely to put on an American accent, but my Spanish accent in Spanish is authentic and has helped hundreds of thousands of learners around the world to learn Spanish. Thanks for your comments nonetheless…

@Marieq Thanks, we’re pleased you’re enjoying the lessons.

Scotish accent or not, you guys are the best! The lessons are VERY easy to follow. Not too fast paced that you miss everything and not too slow that you get bored with the lessons.

Keep on keepin on!
