Café con Clase

Learn Spanish the slow, delicious way.

Start listening

Pull up a chair at Café con Clase — a Spanish podcast for absolute beginners (teens and adults). Each episode drops you into a little café where you'll hear a real Spanish scene, slow enough to follow, then we take it apart together until you can say it yourself. No textbooks, no grammar drills, no pressure — just one warm, productive lesson at a time. By the end of every episode you'll walk away able to say something new out loud. Latin American Spanish, spoken slowly. Bienvenidos.

Episode 2 · 12 min

¿Cómo te llamas?

Tell someone your name — and ask for theirs.

Show notes

Time Lucía knew your name. Today you'll be able to tell someone your name, ask for theirs, and say "nice to meet you" — your first real introduction in Spanish.

You're becoming a regular at the café, so we make it official. You'll also bring back last week's buenos días and put everything together into a whole little conversation. Sin prisa.

☕ Today's phrases

  • ¿Cómo te llamas? — What's your name?
  • Me llamo… — My name is… / I'm called…
  • ¿Y tú? — And you?
  • Mucho gusto — Nice to meet you
  • Igualmente — Likewise

Bringing back from Episode 1: buenos días, gracias, hasta luego. Put it all together and you can now greet, introduce yourself, order, and say goodbye — a full human interaction in Spanish.

🎯 Your tarea this week

Introduce yourself to one person in Spanish: "Me llamo [your name]. Mucho gusto." A friend, a relative, the mirror, the dog — anyone with a face counts.

Why it works: your name is the most personal word you own. The moment you can give it away in Spanish, the language stops being "out there" and becomes yours.

Nos vemos en el café. ¡Hasta la próxima!

Episode 1 · 13 min

Un café, por favor

Walk in, say hello, and order your first coffee in Spanish.

Show notes

By the end of today, you can order a coffee in Spanish. Walk in, say hello, order, say please, thank you, and goodbye — a whole café visit, done by you.

It's your first real visit to Café con Clase. A regular named Mateo orders a coffee from Lucía, the owner — and you'll hear that scene confused, then clear, then so easy you can do it yourself. Sin prisa.

☕ Today's phrases

  • Buenos días — Good morning
  • Un café, por favor — A coffee, please
  • Gracias — Thank you
  • De nada — You're welcome
  • Hasta luego — See you later

The pattern to steal: Un ___, por favor. Drop in any drink — un té (tea), un agua (water), un jugo (juice). One sentence, endless orders.

🎯 Your tarea this week

Order something in Spanish, out loud, for real — at a café, at home, or just to yourself tomorrow morning. "Un café, por favor."

Why it works: the first time you say a Spanish sentence to a real person, it stops being a podcast thing and becomes a you thing. You can win that with one cup of coffee.

Nos vemos en el café. ¡Hasta la próxima!
