Belated reply, but thanks for such a nice post. It really makes a difference for us to hear this sort of thing.

We'll definitely send out an email when we launch a Spanish site or site for any other language. I had hoped we would already be doing things, but that hasn't been possible for various reasons, some financial and some more personal. It is still in the cards of course, but it's difficult to give any timeline.

In the meantime, you may not be far from Intermediate given the way you describe your progress. Even if the podcasts are tough, you might find the dialogues manageable with the transcripts in hand. I think it is also the funnest level, at least in terms of the dialogues we tend to know by heart in house. :)

Anyway, thanks again for such uplifting feedback. I'll make sure everyone on the team reads it.
