  The best podcast for learning Spanish is called Language Transfer: Spanish. Can be found on YouTube or SoundCloud. Can be downloaded as mp3s from languagetransfer.org and uploaded to your phone.

The courses are entirely audio (using a convenient app or downloadable MP3 files) and it all runs on donations. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

  There are many apps now that can check, validate and rate your language speaking and pronunciations for example ELSA Speak [1]. They provide virtual personal tutor experiences for speaking English correctly. Never tried it myself and not affiliated with the app but ELSA has some good reviews on some videos that I've seen.
