In this Spanish lesson we are going to practice more with using Spanish reported speech. As usual, first we will review some relevant grammar and vocabulary and then see if you can follow a short listening.

This lesson is part of a Spanish course that practices the grammar and vocabulary first introduced in my Intermediate Spanish course posted here on the Transparent Language blog. Let’s test your listening comprehension and see if you can understand a short audio in Spanish. The transcript to the audio will be given at the end of the post but please try not to look at it until you have tried playing and understanding the audio a few times.

Use the following link to watch the corresponding video lesson of the original course:

Intermediate Spanish Lesson – Spanish reported speech (Part 2)

Now play the audio to listen a conversation between between two friends. Can you understand what they are saying? Play the audio a few times before you look at the transcript. Don’t worry if you don’t understand every single thing the two people are saying. Try to catch whichever words you can and then try to piece things together to work out what is being said.

(Play the audio a few times before you scroll down and look at the transcript)

Transcript:

Dave: Hola Sonia
Sonia: Hola Dave. ¿Sabes a quién me encontré la semana pasada?
Dave: ¿A quién?
Sonia: A Carlos.
Dave: ¿Qué dices? Hace muchísimo tiempo que no le veo.
Sonia: Ya. Me dijo que te llamaría y que quedaría contigo. ¿No te ha llamado?
Dave: No, todavía no.
Sonia: Bueno, pues te llamará pronto seguro. Me dijo que tenía mucho trabajo y que te llamaría cuando tuviera más tiempo.
Dave: Ah claro. Entiendo. Carlos siempre está muy ocupado.
Sonia: También me dijo que te diera recuerdos si te veía.
Dave: Ah, pues dale recuerdos a él también si le ves.
Sonia: Se los daré

Don’t worry if you didn’t understand that much, keep reviewing the vocabulary and phrases and you will soon be up to speed and ready for the next lesson in this course. See you next time!
