Radio Nacional de España
Mi gente, hoy les traigo algo muy pero que muy bueno. The thing is, I just stumbled upon Spain’s National Television and Radio website and I flipped out, ¡me he vuelto loco! You can listen to and watch lots of recorded programs like interviews, music reviews, politics, movies or live radio broadcasts. Check it out at http://www.rtve.es/alacarta. Also read their blog area, which contains very interesting articles about Spanish culture and current events. Do you have a favorite Spanish website? Share it with us!
Cuídense mucho, les dejo un abrazo.

I’m a helpless internet addict and as a teacher I’m always looking for alternatives to supplement my classes. While surfing the web, I came across this course, by BBC Online, called Mi Vida Loca. It’s a mystery series and it has tons of audio, video and explanations both in English and in Spanish. There are 22 episodes (it takes about 15 minutes to complete each one) and it’s a lot of fun! There are grammar, vocabulary and listening exercises. Check it out at http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca.
Hope you like it!
Nos vemos prontito!

Not very long ago, breaking news was mostly available in English and the few Spanish-language websites were devoted to local news only. Fortunately, the situation is changing rapidly and nowadays we have very comprehensive sites with updated information. Here´s a list of some interesting sites for you to check out.
CNN en español – The Spanish version of the highly acclaimed English news website. It has articles mainly about North America, Latin America, politics, business and sports.
www.efe.com – Despite its name, it has updated news from Latin America and Spain
El Nuevo Herald – Even though it looks like a translation of The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald has original content and brings mostly news of Cuba.
El Clarín – This highly respected online version of the Argentinean newspaper brings news from Argentina as well as from around the world updated almost every five minutes.
El País – Number one newspaper in Spain, brings articles on politics, business, culture, audio clips, horoscope, etc.
La Vanguardia – Online version of the Barcelona´s newspaper with an around-the-clock updated listing of stories.
La Crónica de Hoy – Mexican newspaper with very accesible language and wonderful layout.

Hey everybody, Christopher (language blogger and editor at Transparent) here.
I just wanted to drop a quick note to all you wonderful blog readers and tell you about a terrific, brand-new travel blog that my soon-to-be brother-in-law is writing. He just touched down in Buenos Aires and will be spending 6 months studying in Montevideo, Uruguay.
To follow his adventures, live vicariously (I know I am!) and learn some good South American Spanish, visit the blog: here, or subscribe.
