399 - How to make a gringo fluent in Spanish! With Jim & May from Spanish and Go

In this episode, Olly chats with the dynamic duo behind Spanish and Go, Jim Fricker II, a self-proclaimed 'gringo from Minnesota', and May Larios García, a teacher from Colima, Mexico. On their site, podcast, and popular YouTube channel, they share tips and tools for learning the real Spanish you need to speak the language with confidence, travel more easily in Spanish-speaking countries, and having meaningful conversations with locals. In the interview, they discuss 1) how Jim got fluent in Spanish, 2) how to dive into the Spanish-speaking world even when you don't feel 'ready', and 3) some of their favorite experiences in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
