Day One Spanish takes you from absolute zero to being ready for our daily news podcast — LinguaWire A1 Daily Spanish News — in four weeks. Twenty episodes, eight minutes a day, with Carlos and Lucía. In episode one you learn the verb ser (I am, he is, she is), the words el presidente and la presidenta, and two of the most charming quirks in the Spanish language: the pronouns that simply vanish, and the little word 'a' that Spanish refuses to say. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: La nueva presidenta es abogada. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/1 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode two of twenty. Today you learn the verb tener (I have, you have, he has), the wonderful Spanish habit of HAVING your age instead of being it, the verb vivir, and the ending pattern — o, es, e — that runs nearly every verb in the language. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: El presidente tiene sesenta y dos años y vive en la capital. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/2 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode three of twenty. Today is the day every Spanish learner remembers — the discovery that Spanish has TWO verbs for 'to be': ser for what something is, estar for where and how it is. You learn está and están, the plural words for 'the' (los and las), and the institutions that march through every big news day. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: El gobierno, la policía y el ejército están hoy en las calles. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/3 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode four of twenty. News runs on big numbers, so today you learn to build them: cien, mil, diez mil — and the lovely rule that Spanish never says 'one' hundred or 'one' thousand. You also meet más de (more than), la manifestación, and the two words for people — las personas and la gente, one of which is secretly singular. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Más de diez mil personas están en la manifestación en la capital. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/4 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode five of twenty — the week one finale. Today you learn the most reliable machine in the language: how Spanish makes plurals (add -s, or -es, and that's genuinely it), the professions that fill strike season — el médico, el profesor — the phrase estar en huelga, and your first -ar verb, trabajar. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Los médicos y los profesores están hoy en huelga. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/5 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode six of twenty — week two, where the real news patterns begin. Today: election season. You learn why Spanish elections are always plural (las elecciones), the elegant rule that days of the week take no preposition (el domingo means ON Sunday), when events use ser and states use estar, plus votar, el partido and las encuestas. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Las elecciones son el domingo y las encuestas están muy ajustadas. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/6 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode seven of twenty. Today, the weather — and one of the language's most charming habits: Spanish weather isn't being, it's MADE. Hace cuarenta grados — it makes forty degrees. Hace calor, hace frío. You also learn hay (there is) and no hay (there isn't), arguably the most useful little word of the month, plus the compass — el norte, el sur. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Hace cuarenta grados en el sur y no hay lluvia. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/7 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode eight of twenty. Strikes, storms, holidays - travel chaos is a permanent resident of the news, and today you learn its language: el tren, el aeropuerto, la estación, and the states things get into — lleno, cerrado, abierto. You'll see estar doing its second great job (not just where things are, but how they are), and watch adjectives change their endings to match their nouns. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Los trenes están llenos y el aeropuerto está cerrado. ▶ Practice this episode free - lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/8 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode nine of twenty. The cost of living is the story that never leaves the front page, and today you learn its vocabulary: los precios, el dinero, el euro, caro and barato, cuesta - and the pair más and menos, the only comparison words you need this month. You'll also watch la gente pull its famous trick live: the people HAS less money, singular verb and all. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Los precios están altos y la gente tiene menos dinero. ▶ Practice this episode free - lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/9 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode ten of twenty — halfway, and the week two finale. Sport closes every bulletin, so today you learn its language: la selección (the national team), el partido (which means both 'the match' and 'the political party' — the news loves the joke), el gol, ganar and perder, esta noche. You also meet your first stem-changing verb: jugar becomes juega - the verb changes in the MIDDLE, not just the end. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: La selección juega esta noche ante ochenta mil aficionados. ▶ Practice this episode free - lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/10 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode eleven of twenty — week three begins, where the news starts talking. Today: decir, the verb to say, and its workhorse form dice — the single most journalistic word in Spanish. You learn the colon trick that lets reporters quote anyone, the food basics (el pan, la leche, el café), comparatives with más caro, and the famous oddball el agua — a feminine noun that borrows a masculine article. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: El ministro dice: el pan y la leche son más caros este año. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/11 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode twelve of twenty. People in the news are always on the move, so today you learn the motion verbs: venir (to come — vienen, they come) and the most gloriously irregular verb in the language, ir (to go — voy, va, van, with not a single letter of 'ir' surviving). You also learn how Spanish names the map — a España, no 'the' needed for most countries — and the nationality words español, española, mexicano, argentina. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Miles de personas vienen a España para el festival. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/12 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode thirteen of twenty. News is a diary, so today you learn to read it: the seven days of the week (all defiantly lowercase — lunes, martes, miércoles...), the verbs empezar (to begin — another middle-stretcher: empieza) and terminar (to end), and the time anchors ayer, hoy, mañana, la próxima semana. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: La cumbre empieza el lunes y termina el viernes. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/13 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode fourteen of twenty. Today, the art of saying no — and Spanish has made it almost insultingly easy: one word, no, placed before the verb, for everything. No negation tables, no choosing between two negatives like German, and — delightfully — the double negative is not just allowed but required. You also learn la luz (the light, which is how Spanish says electricity) and the emergency kit: el fuego, la ayuda, el peligro. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: En el norte no hay luz y las escuelas no están abiertas. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/14 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode fifteen of twenty — the week three finale. Journalism is professional question-asking, so today you get the full kit: quién, qué, dónde, cuándo, por qué, cómo — who, what, where, when, why, how — each wearing its little accent like a press badge. You'll learn why Spanish opens questions with an upside-down question mark (and why it's genuinely brilliant), meet the verb querer (to want — quiere, another middle-stretcher), and discover that in spoken Spanish, any sentence becomes a question by tone alone. Today's sentence: ¿Quién es la nueva ministra y qué quiere? ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/15 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode sixteen of twenty — the final week begins, and it has one job: time travel. Today, the past arrives via the perfect tense: a little helper verb (he, ha, han — from haber) plus a participle ending in -ado or -ido. Hablar becomes ha hablado; comer becomes ha comido. You'll meet the rebel participle dicho (said), learn why this is the tense Spain's news uses for anything that happened today, and pick up la guerra and la paz — war and peace. Today's sentence: El presidente ha dicho hoy: la guerra ha terminado. ▶ Practice this episode free — lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/16 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode seventeen of twenty. Breaking news is where your new past tense earns its keep. Today: two real disaster-story sentences - Un terremoto ha sacudido la región esta noche. Muchas personas han perdido sus casas. You learn han plus the participle (the plural past), the indefinite articles un and una (a, an - finally made official), the possessive sus: one word doing the work of his, her AND their, and the sober vocabulary of disaster coverage. ▶ Practice this episode free - lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/17 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode eighteen of twenty. Today you get the future tense - and it costs you nothing, because you already own all the parts. Spanish builds its everyday future with ir (to go) plus a plus any infinitive: va a construir, it's going to build. The same going-to future English uses, powered by Tuesday's voy-va-van. You also learn the good-news economy kit: la empresa, la fábrica, los empleos, and how news verbs come pre-packaged as infinitives, ready to snap onto va a. Today's sentence: La empresa va a construir una nueva fábrica y va a crear tres mil empleos. ▶ Practice this episode free - lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/18 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode nineteen of twenty - the penultimate episode. You can handle full sentences now; but open a news app and the first Spanish you see isn't full sentences, it's headlines. Today you learn their compressed grammar: verbs vanish, a comma does their work, and three words carry a whole story. La presidenta, en Washington. You also learn the diplomacy kit: la visita, la reunión, el viaje, so tomorrow you can graduate. ▶ Practice this episode free - lesson sheet + 10-minute homework: https://linguawire.com/dayone/spanish/19 🇪🇸 More free Spanish lessons and daily A1 news: https://linguawire.com/spanish Learn Spanish for beginners · A1 Spanish podcast · real Spanish news made simple. #LearnSpanish #SpanishForBeginners #A1Spanish #SpanishPodcast #LanguageLearning Hosted on Acast.

Day One Spanish, episode twenty of twenty - graduation day. No new vocabulary, no new grammar. Today we hand you a real Spanish news bulletin: four stories, ninety seconds, read the way Spanish radio reads it — and you understand it. The election, the heatwave, the doctors' strike, and the national team's big night, all built from the twenty sentences you've earned. Then: the receipts: twenty verbs, five hundred words, both pasts of 'to be', the perfect tense, the free future, and your next step: LinguaWire A1 Daily Spanish News, a real news episode every day at your level.
