Spanish Voices is a two-part series designed to give learners the opportunity to hear and study authentic Spanish as it is spoken by native speakers from across Latin America and Spain. Unlike the scripted materials read by voice actors used in many course books, Spanish Voices features dozens of spontaneous audio essays spoken naturally and off the cuff. The materials are designed to help you improve your listening skills and expand your Spanish vocabulary. MP3s can be downloaded for free below, and you’ll also find a link to interactive flashcards, quizzes, and games.

Topics include: self-introductions, childhood memories, daily routines, my hometown, vacations, cultural topics, and social issues.

Each segment consists of:

• True or False and Multiple Choice exercises to sharpen your listening skills and increase comprehension at any level.
• Vocabulary and Translation exercises to help you expand your vocabulary and better understand Spanish collocations and grammar.
• In-chapter answers to all exercises (no need to flip back and forth to the end of the book).
• Verbatim transcripts of the audio with side-by-side English translations.
• Lined sections for note-taking and recording new vocabulary.
