Yes! Traé Alfajores has turned one year. And it’s that type of milestones I wanto to tap on. As I said multiple times, some aspects of keeping an online business running go unnoticed for others, yet it’s definitely the most essential part.

What I instantly spot when I pay attention to educational/informational websites (and not all of them related to language teaching) is all the invisible work there is.

And when I think about creating future video courses, it’s what I identify as the most crucial part of its success. Providing high quality resources is the only path to walk in the online world.

When I first started with the podcast, my plan was to offer Argentinian culture + Argentinian Spanish insights together with transcripts.

Why? Because I think audio and transcripts are incredibly beneficial for increasing your vocabulary and improving your pronunciation in the most natural way possible.

While it’s true it only takes time for anything to turn a year, Traé Alfajores is by now a central part of the identity of Venture Out. One year of existence translates as 39 episodes to date.

We’ve touched on multiple topics since the first episode:

  3. El Mate
  4. El Yeísmo

All this myriad of topics has given me the opportunity to look at and reflect about Argentina, our identity, how we are perceived as Argentinians and how we perceive ourselves.

And on top of this, it’s given me the opportunity to meet students who reached out after listening to the podcast with a sense of ‘I know you’, which is always awesome.

Anyways, I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who has listened and supported TA over this first year.

If you haven’t, go straight to Spotify and give it a listen.

Thank you so much,

Until soon, amigos.
