In this Spanish lesson we are going to practice the Spanish present subjunctive with indefinite pronouns and adjectives. As usual, first we will review some relevant grammar and vocabulary and then see if you can follow a short listening. <\/p>\n

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. <\/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

Quiz\u00e1s: perhaps
\nMal\u00edsimo: very bad<\/p>\n

Now play the audio to listen a conversation between two colleagues at work. 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

Jim: Hola Catalina \u00bfQu\u00e9 haces? \u00bfEst\u00e1s buscando algo?
\nCatalina: S\u00ed, \u00bfsabes si tenemos alg\u00fan libro que tenga informaci\u00f3n sobre qu\u00e9 lugares son los mejores para visitar en Francia?
\nJim: \u00bfVas a ir a Francia?
\nCatalina: S\u00ed \u00bfHay alg\u00fan sitio en Francia donde la gente hable en espa\u00f1ol?
\nJim: \u00bfEn espa\u00f1ol? No creo. No hay mucha gente que hable bien en espa\u00f1ol en Francia.
\nCatalina: Mmmm \u00bfHay alg\u00fan lugar donde la gente hable en ingl\u00e9s?
\nJim: En Par\u00eds quiz\u00e1s.\u00bfHablas ingl\u00e9s bien?
\nCatalina: No, mi ingl\u00e9s es mal\u00edsimo pero mi franc\u00e9s es peor.
\nJim: \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no vas a alg\u00fan lugar donde la gente hable en espa\u00f1ol? \u00bfA un pa\u00eds Latino Americano o a otra parte de Espa\u00f1a?
\nCatalina: Mmmm es que quiero ver Francia. He o\u00eddo que es precioso.
\nJim: Ya, te entiendo. Yo he visitado el sur de Francia muchas veces, me encanta. Deber\u00edas estudiar franc\u00e9s.
\nCatalina: \u00bfConoces a alguien que pueda darme clases?
\nJim: Hay poca gente que ense\u00f1e idiomas aqu\u00ed. Mi amigo Adrien es franc\u00e9s. Quiz\u00e1 pueda ayudarte. Voy a hablar con \u00e9l.
\nCatalina: \u00a1Muchas gracias Jim!
\nJim: De nada<\/p>\n
