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

Intermediate Spanish Lesson – Spanish Present Subjunctive in relative clauses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

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

En primera l\u00ednea de playa: on the beachfront
\nOfrecer: to offer
\nReservar: to book
\nTodo incluido: all inclusive<\/p>\n

Now play the audio to listen a conversation 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transcript:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rob: Hola Sarah \u00bfQu\u00e9 est\u00e1s mirando?
\nSara: Estoy buscando un hotel para mis vacaciones. Quiero uno que tenga piscina y pista de tenis, pero no encuentro ninguno.
\nRob: \u00bfAd\u00f3nde vas a ir?
\nSara: Voy a ir a Benidorm con mi marido y mis hijas.
\nRob: Yo he estado en Benidorm muchas veces. El hotel Miramar tiene piscina y pista de tenis. Mira, es este.
\nSara: \u00bfS\u00ed? A ver\u2026 Ah no. Quiero uno que est\u00e9 en primera l\u00ednea de playa. Tambi\u00e9n quiero que ofrezca comida vegetariana.
\nRob: Mmmm Pides mucho Sara. No s\u00e9 si vas a encontrar lo que quieres. El \u00fanico que es posible que ofrezca comida vegetariana es el hotel Sal Marina que tiene cinco estrellas.
\nSara: Ah vale. Pero quiero un hotel que sea barato. No podemos pagar un hotel de cinco estrellas para dos semanas. \u00bfConoces alg\u00fan hotel que tenga lo que quiero fuera de Benidorm?
\nRob: En Alicante o en Valencia es posible. Pero no estoy seguro. Busca en esta p\u00e1gina web hoteles que tengan tres estrellas y ver\u00e1s todas las opciones.
\nSara: Muy bien. Muchas gracias Rob. \u00bfT\u00fa vas a ir de vacaciones este verano?
\nRob: S\u00ed, voy a ir a Tenerife. Tambi\u00e9n tengo que reservar hotel. Estoy buscando uno que tenga la opci\u00f3n de todo incluido, comida y bebidas.
\nSara: Ah s\u00ed eso es buena idea. El a\u00f1o pasado estuve en Tenerife en el hotel Javisol, que tiene la opci\u00f3n de todo incluido.
\nRob: \u00bfAh s\u00ed? \u00a1Qu\u00e9 bien, Sara! Voy a mirarlo.
\nSara: \u00a1De nada!<\/p>\n
