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 – How to use El Pret\u00e9rito Perfecto de Subjuntivo<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

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

En mal estado: off (food)
\nManzanilla: chamomile tea
\nAsegurarse: to make sure
\nSidrer\u00eda: cider bar
\nEn serio: seriously<\/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

Ana: Hola Robert \u00bfVienes a tomar algo?
\nRobert: No, no me siento bien. Me voy a casa a la cama.
\nAna: \u00bfQu\u00e9 te pasa?
\nRobert: Me duele mucho el est\u00f3mago. No s\u00e9 por qu\u00e9.
\nAna: Quiz\u00e1 hayas comido algo en mal estado. Cuando hayas tomado una manzanilla y hayas dormido varias horas seguro que te sientes mejor.
\nRobert: Eso espero \u00bfVas sola al bar?
\nAna: No, voy con Raquel y \u00d3scar. No creo que hayan llegado ya. Siempre llegan tarde cuando quedamos.
\nRobert: S\u00ed, yo tambi\u00e9n he quedado con ellos alguna vez y he esperado much\u00edsimo tiempo.
\nAna: Espero que hayan salido ya de casa. Les voy a llamar para asegurarme.
\nRobert: Buena idea. \u00bfA qu\u00e9 bar vais?
\nAna: A la sidrer\u00eda manzana verde.
\nRobert: Oh, pues espero que hayas sacado mucho dinero porque esa sidrer\u00eda es car\u00edsima
\nAna: \u00bfEn serio?
\nRobert: S\u00ed, en serio.<\/p>\n
