What it is
News in Slow Spanish is a Spanish audio learning service for studying through current events and structured lessons. It publishes weekly news for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners, with more than a dozen original stories added across levels each week. Learners can use a beginner course, grammar instruction, an idiomatic expressions catalog, interactive transcripts, quizzes, pronunciation practice, and vocabulary flashcards. Rooms adds live conversation practice and workshops. Plan choice affects what is included: Audio Only subscriptions provide audio and Rooms, while Full Access adds transcripts, contextual translations, lessons, and quizzes. Monthly prices are $6.90 for a single-edition Audio Only plan, $7.90 for Bundle Audio Only, $22.90 for single-edition Full Access, and $25.90 for Bundle Full Access. First-time subscribers may choose a seven-day Full Access trial; the selected subscription starts afterward unless canceled. Lessons include a free audio and transcript portion, and the Linguistica app offers complete news stories with audio and transcripts at no charge. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web, with offline access.
