Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Spanish, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Spanish and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story.

Maybe you want to speak Spanish with your abuela from Cuba? Our podcast will give you the cultural…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T10:17:19.384509+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-spanish-5973428"},"episode":{"title":"Marisol's Balancing Act: Family, Work, and the True Success","slug":"marisol-s-balancing-act-family-work-and-the-true-success","published_at":"2026-05-03T22:46:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-spanish-5973428/marisol-s-balancing-act-family-work-and-the-true-success","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-spanish-5973428","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/es/episode/2026-05-03-22-34-02-es","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71843974/2026_05_03_22_34_02_es_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - Spanish : Marisol's Balancing Act: Family, Work, and the True Success Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/es/episode/2026-05-03-22-34-02-es Story Transcript: Es: En una luminosa mañana de primavera en la Ciudad de México, el cielo se reflejaba en las ventanas de los altos edificios.
