In this Spanish lesson we will practice understanding basic numbers in Spanish. As usual, first we will review some relevant grammar and vocabulary and then see if you can follow a short listening.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This lesson is part of a Spanish course that practices the grammar and vocabulary first introduced in my beginner 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. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Use the following link to watch the corresponding video lesson of the original course:<\/p>\n

Please familiarise yourself with the following words and phrases before listening to the audio below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gimnasio: Gym
\nDatos personales: Personal details

\nN\u00famero de tel\u00e9fono: Telephone number
\nDirecci\u00f3n: Address

Now, play the audio below to listen to a conversation between two people at a gym. One is the receptionist and the other is a potential new gym member. 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n
