Learn Mexican Spanish with a Free Podcast on Spotify & YouTube
How to use this podcast at every level?
Not sure if this podcast is right for you? Here’s an honest guide by level:
🟢 Beginner (A1–A2) Our full conversations are in Mexican Spanish at native speed, which can feel fast if you’re just starting out. That’s okay. Start with our free YouTube course (linked below) and our Short Stories in Spanish subscription, where everything is structured for beginners. Once you can hold a basic conversation, come back here and use the YouTube speed feature to slow episodes down to 0.75x. You’ll be surprised how much you catch.
🟡 Intermediate (B1–B2) This is where our podcast really shines for you. You understand the basics but you’ve hit that plateau where textbooks stop helping. Our episodes give you real Mexican Spanish conversations on topics that actually matter: personal development, entrepreneurship, Tijuana culture, food, border life, and real people telling real stories. Listen once at normal speed. Write down what you didn’t catch. Listen again. You’ll improve faster than you think.
🔴 Advanced (C1–C2) Welcome home. Our episodes are recorded at native speed, with natural interruptions, regional expressions, and the kind of casual vocabulary that’s almost impossible to find in formal learning materials. Use us to stay sharp, tune into the Tijuana accent specifically, and discover Mexico through the people who live it.

Intermediate & Advanced Spanish Podcast — Real Conversations at Native Speed
What you’ll actually hear on CAD Weekly
Every episode of our Mexican Spanish podcast features real people from Tijuana and beyond — not actors, not scripts, not slow, overly enunciated lesson content. Here’s the kind of content you’ll find across our hundreds of episodes:
🎙️ Conversations with Tijuana entrepreneurs and creatives — people building things in one of Mexico’s most dynamic cities.
🌎 Stories from immigrants and expats — Tijuana receives people from Latin America, Europe, and Asia, and their stories are as much about language as they are about life.
🍺 Culture deep-dives — from Tijuana’s craft beer revolution to its food scene, art, and border identity.
💬 Language exchanges with Spanish learners — hear real learners like you navigate conversation with native speakers.
🧠 Personal development and mindset — topics our community genuinely cares about, in natural Mexican Spanish
What You'll Learn Listening to Our Spanish Podcast
Apps teach you vocabulary. Classes teach you grammar. But neither of them trains your ear to understand real spoken Spanish — the fast, messy, beautiful version that native speakers actually use.
That’s the gap a Spanish podcast fills. And it’s the gap we built CAD Weekly to close.
Listening comprehension is often the last skill to develop, and the one that matters most in real life. You can know every verb conjugation and still freeze when a Mexican says something quickly with an expression you’ve never heard. Our podcast puts you in those moments — safely, repeatedly, at your own pace — until real Mexican Spanish stops feeling foreign and starts feeling familiar.

Would you like to learn Spanish with our Spanish Teachers?
So, we have the podcast as a powerful tool to improve your Spanish listening skills, and a lot of the times this only tool can be enough to get on your way to seriously learn Spanish. However, what if you want to take a Spanish Program with us? Here are 3 things you need to know:
1. It’s an amazing journey IF you are open to try new things. Our method is to try the best method for you (personalize your program). If something doesn’t work for you, it’ll make sense to pivot into something that makes more sense for you. If that makes sense to you, we’re on the right path.
2. Part of our philosophy is that education should be personalized, tailored to the person taking the course. However, the best way to start speaking or writing Spanish is to practice, keep that in mind, because you’ll be invited to language exchange events. Use that opportunity! We will share all the tools and opportunities with you to practice with locals.
3. As long as it takes, we’ll keep guiding you in the process. For some Members it may take half or 1 year, to create a good dynamic and see progress, but for some others, it can take up to 2-3 years, there are a lot of variables that affect your learning process.
