What News in Slow Spanish is
News in Slow Spanish is a streaming service for learning through Spanish audio and related study materials. It publishes weekly news episodes for beginner, intermediate and advanced learners, adding more than a dozen original stories across levels each week. Resources include beginner and grammar courses, an idiomatic expressions catalog, interactive transcripts, lessons, quizzes, pronunciation practice and vocabulary flashcards. Rooms offers live conversation practice and workshops. Each lesson has a free audio and transcript portion, and the Linguistica app provides complete news stories with audio and transcript for free. Paid monthly plans start at $6.90 a month for a single-edition Audio Only subscription, which includes audio and Rooms but excludes transcripts, lessons and quizzes. Full Access plans add transcripts, contextual translations, lessons and quizzes. First-time subscribers can choose a seven-day Full Access trial; the selected subscription starts afterward unless canceled, and the service says it sends a reminder two days before the trial ends. Subscribers can cancel and retain access until the current billing period ends. The service is available on Android, iOS and web, with offline access and interactive practice.
