Introducing.....

...Voices en Español. I've created a new bilingual blog and Spanish podcast (spanish-podcast.com) for advanced students of Spanish. I'm still "unpacking" and getting acquainted with my new online home but there is plenty of room for visitors and I'd love for you to check it out. Last week I posted a podcast about the history and geography of Cantabria, Spain. Today's podcast is about Latino voters in the U.S.

Drop by Voices en Español and leave your comments. I'll still occasionally post things here on Espanglish, but for now, the bulk of my blogging will be over at Voices en Español.com

¡Hasta pronto!

Well, it's been awhile, heck, it's been a loooong time since I've posted anything new on this site. Sorry for the disappearing act but I've been hard at work, behind the scenes, working on a new blog. It's taken more time and more coordination than I anticipated but I hope to unveil all the details here in about another week or so. It will be a new bilingual blog with a Spanish podcast.
