Key Takeaways

• Mexican Spanish has its own slang, filler words and rhythm. Learn from Mexican speakers.
• Use free podcasts and videos for listening, and a person for speaking.
• A Mexican dictionary helps when a word means something different in Mexico.
• Mix one listening resource with one speaking resource every week.
• Read along: most of our podcast episodes and videos have a matching blog post.

Best resources to learn Mexican Spanish at a glance

1. Speak Better Spanish coaching: best for speaking Mexican Spanish (ours)

This is our school. Hannah, Arturo and Jacky coach adults one to one on Zoom, and the Spanish is real-life Mexican Spanish, the way people talk in Mexico. You get a recording and follow-up notes after every session and email support in between. Working with three coaches means you get used to different voices, so a new speaker does not throw you.

If you want to practice what you hear on podcasts and shows, our 30-minute conversation sessions are the place. You talk in Spanish about your real life, your coach keeps you going and corrects what matters, and you leave with one small thing to practice, nothing to hand in. See how conversation sessions work. Coaching costs more than a free podcast, and our prices are on the pricing page.

2. Speak Better Spanish podcast, YouTube and blog: best free Mexican Spanish (ours)

These are ours too, and they are free. The Speak Better Spanish podcast on Spotify has short episodes on Mexican slang, everyday phrases and culture, and most episodes have a matching blog post. Our YouTube channel has short videos from Hannah and the team, each with a blog post that writes the phrases out.

Start with Mexican expressions you will actually hear every day, the best Mexican slang to sound like a native and what ahorita really means. Our real-life Mexican Spanish page collects every guide by topic.

3. Easy Spanish podcast: best for everyday conversations

The Easy Spanish podcast is the audio side of the Easy Spanish YouTube channel. The hosts, including Pau, talk about the Spanish language and culture, explain words and expressions, and answer listener questions. In one recent episode Pau and Cami compared their experiences of earthquakes in Mexico and Colombia, so you hear two accents side by side. Members get interactive transcripts and extras.

4. Charlas Hispanas: best for Latin American variety

Charlas Hispanas is a podcast for learning Latin American Spanish, with speakers from Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. It says it has more than 1,500 episodes and more than 250 hours of audio. Full transcripts and exercises are part of a paid premium subscription with a 7-day free trial.

5. Dreaming Spanish: best for listening at your level

Dreaming Spanish is a video library sorted by level, from Superbeginner to Advanced. Its guides come from several countries, and Michelle is from Mexico, so you can choose her videos to hear a Mexican accent. Pair it with our passive listening guide.

6. Memrise Spanish (Mexico): best app for Mexican vocabulary

Memrise lists a separate Spanish (Mexico) course. It teaches vocabulary with short videos of native speakers, and you can start for free. Use it for words, and use conversations to make them come out.

7. Diccionario del español de México: best Mexican dictionary

The Diccionario del español de México comes from El Colegio de México. Its second edition has about 33,000 words with more than 75,000 meanings, and the website lets you search entries. It also has guides to verb conjugation, spelling and accents. Use it when a word you hear in Mexico does not match what a general dictionary says.

8. Academia Mexicana de la Lengua: best for mexicanismos and sayings

The Academia Mexicana de la Lengua has a section of reference works you can search online. It includes the Diccionario breve de mexicanismos by Guido Gómez de Silva and the Refranero Mexicano, a collection of Mexican sayings. It is in Spanish, so it suits intermediate and advanced learners.

SPANISH FLUENCY COACHING

Reading about Spanish is the easy part. Speaking it is where we come in.

Most adults who find this page already know a lot of Spanish and still freeze in real conversations. A coach works on that freeze directly: what stops you, what you need to say, and real practice until it comes out on its own.

Hannah, Arturo and Jacky. Coaching since 2014, based in Monterrey, Mexico.

“I visited Colombia back in 2023 and at the time I had pretty limited Spanish. I was able to order food, but I was stumbling through conversations. I returned in March [2026] and was able to have in depth conversations with our host, the owner of a restaurant, and someone who worked at a bookstore to name a few. It was night and day and it made a huge difference.”

Chris K., student since 2024

“Hannah is very personable, very professional and very proactive. Using business parlance, Hannah adds real value to my efforts to learn a new language.”
