Ok, let me try and generate one episode for you when I get home. Curious to hear what you think afterwards :)


i too would love to listen to a Mexican Spanish version


Got a spanish episode generated. Generic Spanish so far, but I did see they have some dialects on Play.HT. Let me know what you think :)

I would love Spanish from Salamanca, Spain — which is supposed to be the gold standard.


Got a spanish episode generated. Is this similar to the dialect you'd expect? Let me know what you think :)

I'm guessing choosing a regional variety of Spanish to use could be fraught.


I'm sure you're already familiar with the following, but could be interesting for others. Spain (the country) has multiple official languages, one of them being the European Spanish called Castellano Spanish. This is what people refer to as "Spanish language". However there are others, like Catalonian, Galician, Basque, Valenciano etc. languages, which are also "Spanish", but not mutually intelligible with Castellano. These are completely different languages on their own, and interestingly, in the case of Basque, not even in the same family of languages.


Even sticking to Castilian, the regional accents and vocabulary choices could differ. You could pick a neutral Castilian accent from Spain, potentially alienating Latin Americans but I think this is often received OK if a little off. You could pick something that sounds like Mexico or Colombia, which are each common choices for things with an international audience. But then, say, an Argentine accent, to pick out one, would sound pretty different.


Madrid seems pretty safe


No, thanks, "Madrid" as in "Madrith", nope. Better the Castillian one.


Yep Spanish Spanish (Madrid) please!


One Spanish episode going your way. Not sure it's Madrid Spanish, but should be decent hopefully. Let me know what you think :)

Perfect, thank you. Really impressed by the quality of the voice.

Would love it if there was a way to connect to anki to start learning vocabulary based on the content of the episode.
