If you are trying to learn to speak Spanish, or pass on bilingualism to your children, Voices en español and its sister site, Cody's Cuentos, are great podcasts. I don't just say that because Eleena, who runs the sites, interviewed me. I'm a subscriber.
You can hear me in all my nervous, accented glory, learn a little about Los Pollitos Dicen and hear a bit of what it's like to live Latina in Tennessee. (My mother will be calling me later to correct the words and phrases I totally messed up.)
Eleena, by the way, is a former Wall Street Journal reporter living in Madrid. Not a bad life.

Muy buena entrevista, Carrie!
The part about Cuba was a little sad, but it was fun to hear you speak in Spanish :)
I would LOVE to check that out!
It's a priority of my husband and I to teach our unborn-not-yet-concieved children both spanish and english.
And, ok I could use it to, I'm moving to Mexico in a month and I only Hablo Po-qi-to (i'm so sure that's spelled wrong i'm sorry)
in my cave-man-gringa-spanish.
Sooo Thank You !
And HI ! I've been reading you for a little while now and like your blog and you know, wanted to say hi :)
Oye niña que bien hablas el espanish! Ni sabía que estuviste en la isla, muy bien dicho todo sobre la realidad en el caimán.
I listened to part of this while I was working, and I need to go back and listen to the rest. Great interview! It was fun to listen to you in Spanish.
I could relate to much of what you said. I also have a completely American name, and it annoys me that people assume I can't possibly be Latina in any way just because of my name.
On the other hand, I love going incognito--people speak Spanish around me all the time it doesn't cross their mind that I understand what they're saying.
¡ Buen trabajo amiga mía ! Good job my friend! I love listening to you Carrie - be it over the phone or on this very well done podcast!
YOU are an inspiration to so many women and most of all to your little Maria!
Happy Educating!
¡Sea feliz educando!
Boca Beth
