What is pins?
Podcastsinspanish is a website to help students of Spanish and teachers of Spanish.

The podcasts have three levels: level 1 is for elementary students, level 2 is for lower intermediate and intermediate students and level 3 is for upper intermediate students and above. Most of the recordings are conversations or interviews with a range of different accents.

All the podcasts are supported by worksheets which have a variety of listening tasks. These encourage students to listen for general meaning as well as detail. Language work includes vocabulary and grammar tasks.

You can download free worksheets with answers and transcripts here.
