In this Spanish lesson we are going to practice the correlation between Spanish Indicativo and Subjuntivo. 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

Intermediate Spanish Lesson – The correlation between Spanish Indicativo and Subjuntivo<\/strong><\/a><\/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

Patrick: \u00bfQu\u00e9 te pasa Elena? Pareces preocupada.
\nElena: S\u00ed, estoy un poco preocupada. Creo que no voy a aprobar mi examen oral de ingl\u00e9s. No hablo muy bien.
\nPatrick:\u00bfHas hablado con tu profesor?
\nElena: S\u00ed, mi profesor siempre me dice que est\u00e9 tranquila, que vea pel\u00edculas en ingl\u00e9s para mejorar mi comprensi\u00f3n y que hable con personas nativas.
\nPatrick: \u00a1Perfecto! Yo soy ingl\u00e9s. Shall we speak in English?
\nElena: No, no. Esta ma\u00f1ana he visto cuatro pel\u00edculas en ingl\u00e9s y ya no puedo m\u00e1s. Mi profesor me dijo ayer que no me obsesione y que me tome descansos.
\nPatrick: Si yo fuera tu profesor te aconsejar\u00eda que hablaras un poco en ingl\u00e9s todos los d\u00edas. Tambi\u00e9n te aconsejar\u00eda que vieras series de televisi\u00f3n en ingl\u00e9s, que son m\u00e1s cortas que las pel\u00edculas.
\nElena: Antes ten\u00eda una profesora que me dec\u00eda que escuchara la radio, pero me parece muy dif\u00edcil.
\nPatrick: Yo te dir\u00eda que escucharas canciones en ingl\u00e9s. \u00bfTienes alguna canci\u00f3n en ingl\u00e9s favorita?
\nElena: Mmmmm no s\u00e9. Me gusta el grupo Abba.
\nPatrick: \u00bfAbba? Bueno vale. Puedes escuchar sus canciones y luego mirar la letra. Es f\u00e1cil encontrar todas las letras en internet.
\nElena: Muchas gracias por tus consejos Patrick.
\nPatrick: De nada. Y cuando quieras hablamos en ingl\u00e9s \u00bfvale?
\nElena: Vale.<\/p>\n
