Cactus Language Training Launches ‘Language Minis’: NEW Spanish podcasts for Cactus students
Press Release - 23 June 2025
Cactus has developed a range of podcasts to complement its hugely successful 10-week Spanish evening courses. Called ‘Language Mini – ¡Hola!’, the Spanish podcasts are the first in a series of language podcasts, or ‘Language Minis’, to be created by Cactus.
Podcasts have been developed for 7 levels, spanning beginner through to advanced Spanish, and are designed to help Cactus students increase their understanding of the Spanish language through a variety of listening exercises and equip users with language skills for use in everyday situations.
Each level contains 10 x 15-18 minute lessons including an audio track, a dialog track, a key vocabulary review track, a grammar track and a Lesson Guide in PDF format featuring conversation transcripts, vocabulary lists, grammar points and quizzes. The Spanish featured is a “standard” or “neutral” version of the language, avoiding regional forms of speech, to enable users to apply what they learn anywhere in the Spanish-speaking world.
“Our new ‘Language Minis’ have been specifically designed to complement our 10-week evening language courses,” comments Chris Moore, Head of Cactus Language Training. “We are launching our Spanish podcasts first in July, but for anyone looking to learn other European languages, French, Italian and German podcasts will also soon be available. We believe that the best way to learn a language is through a blended approach, so we’re thrilled to be adding podcasts to our range of language learning options, offering our customers even more flexibility.”
