Hello Listener,

(This is all about new achievement badges at SpanishPod101. Keep reading!)

Let’s say you JUST finished a Spanish lesson. For example, an assignment like…

• You write a self-introduction in Spanish
• You record your self-introduction via audio or video
• You send an image to your teacher that’s related to Spanish
• …or you complete a weekly writing task

Then, you send it over. Your SpanishPod101 teacher checks it. Approves it.

Ding! You get a new achievement badge for your hard work. It’s your mark of progress. It definitely sends a burst of Spanish learning motivation into your brain!

What does this mean? It’s proof that your Spanish is improving, as confirmed by a real Spanish teacher. Real proof that you’re well on your way to mastering the language. And it’s an awesome way to stay confident and motivated in your learning journey.

It also means achievement badges are now available at SpanishPod101. You’re learning Spanish. You deserve recognition and motivation. So, if you’re a Premium PLUS member, you can now unlock badges as you level up your Spanish. Your Premium PLUS teacher will give out badges as you complete new assignments!

Listeners, this is something many of you have been asking for.

Alright, how does this work and how can you unlock badges?
SpanishPod101 Badges are currently available to Premium PLUS subscribers. Don’t worry, more are on the way for other users! Here’s how it works!

With Premium PLUS, you learn with your own Teacher. You stay in 1-on-1 contact via My Teacher – whether the mobile app or directly on the SpanishPod101 site.

Your teacher gives you Spanish assignments. That’s right, you’re not learning alone! You get various assignments. Your teacher will correct your Spanish and give feedback. You can do this via text or audio or video recordings.

And you earn badges for completing assignments – from your teacher. This is how you know you’re mastering Spanish.

You’re getting feedback from the one person that knows best.

A real Spanish teacher.

Find your unlocked badges in My Account. Once you’re there, go to the “My Report” Tab and click on “Your Badges.” So, if you’re a Premium PLUS user, get in touch with your teacher on SpanishPod101. Then, start earning badges and leveling up your Spanish.

Hello Listeners,

There’s a brand new feature out! But first, here’s a question…

How long have you been actively studying Spanish?

Why do we ask? Well, Einstein once said… “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

While most people quit, the smarter ones (or the stubborn ones) stick with Spanish long enough to break through and see progress.

And if you think about it, time and effort are the two things that’ll ultimately dictate how far your Spanish will go. Look at it like this…

• Anyone with bigger muscles – they’ve spent more time at the gym than most.
• Anyone that’s a great artist – they’ve spent more time on their craft.
• Anyone that knows a ton of Spanish words – they’ve spent more time on picking up new vocabulary.
• And anyone that’s a great Spanish speaker – they’ve spent more time speaking Spanish.

It’s all about time and effort.

And that’s why you can now track your time and effort at SpanishPod101 with a brand new feature, My Report. You can find it in “My Account” in the upper right corner of the SpanishPod101 site. Or, just click here to log in and access it!

Here’s what you need to know: My Report tracks your personal study stats, like…

• Total Time Studied
• Flashcards Studied
• Lessons Completed

…and gives you the overall totals and breakdowns on a monthly and daily basis. That way, you’ll know exactly how much time and effort you need to put in.

Here are some cool things you can do with this:

1. Set small, achievable goals! Why? They’re easy! Achieving goals is motivating. And once you knock one out, just set a new one and start building progress over time!

• Study 10 flashcards and 10 lessons a day.
• Study for 30 minutes a day.
• 30 hours of time spent on lessons as a monthly goal.
• 50 lessons completed as a monthly goal.
• 200 flashcards studied as a monthly goal.

2. Get an overview of your effort. Sometimes, you just need to step back and see the big picture for a motivation boost. How long have you been been studying Spanish? And how much effort have you put in?

3. Adjust your learning routines. Feel like you’re not making enough progress? Take a look at how much time you’ve spent! If your current routine isn’t working out for you, spend more time and study more lessons.

And most importantly, use it to track your time and effort. These are the 2 things that’ll dictate your Spanish learning success. As Einstein said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

Let us know what you think of this new feature! You can find My Report in “My Account” in the upper right corner of SpanishPod101, or just click the link below.

Plus, Slideshow View is available FREE to all users! Learn visually and with audio as you review the words in a slideshow. This is a new addition to the word lists!

Click here to see the new design and learn more vocabulary!

Your vocabulary lists now come with:
