In this Spanish lesson we are going to continue practicing using Spanish conditional sentences. 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

Now play the audio to listen a conversation between 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

Paul: Hola Cristina \u00bfQu\u00e9 planes tienes para este verano?
\nCristina: Pues salvo que tenga mucho trabajo en la oficina, me coger\u00e9 un mes de vacaciones.
\nPaul: \u00a1Un mes! \u00a1Qu\u00e9 bien! \u00bfVas a quedarte aqu\u00ed o vas a viajar?
\nCristina: Me quedar\u00e9 aqu\u00ed, a no ser que haga muy mal tiempo. Si llueve mucho, ir\u00e9 a ver a mi hermana. Vive en M\u00e1laga.
\nPaul: M\u00e1laga\u2026 All\u00ed hace mucho calor en verano \u00bfno?
\nCristina: S\u00ed, pero en la playa se est\u00e1 genial, a no ser que tengas la piel muy blanca. Entonces mejor viajar al norte de Espa\u00f1a.
\nPaul: S\u00ed. Yo voy a visitar San Sebasti\u00e1n. Con tal de que no llueva todos los d\u00edas estoy contento.
\nCristina: San Sebasti\u00e1n es una ciudad preciosa. Creo que son unas vacaciones perfectas para ti, siempre y cuando no haga mal tiempo todos los d\u00edas, claro. No creo. En verano suele hacer buen tiempo de vez en cuando.
\nPaul: Eso espero. Voy a estar all\u00ed dos semanas.
\nCristina: Yo fui all\u00ed el verano pasado y llovi\u00f3 varios d\u00edas. Si lo llego a saber habr\u00eda llevado el chubasquero y un paraguas.
\nPaul: \u00bfQu\u00e9 hiciste los d\u00edas de lluvia?
\nCristina: Visit\u00e9 museos y galer\u00edas de arte. Tambi\u00e9n com\u00ed en bares de pintxos. Son muy tradicionales en San Sebast\u00ed\u00e1n.
\nPaul: Ah vale. Si llueve har\u00e9 eso. Gracias por las ideas.
\nCristina: \u00a1De nada!<\/p>\n
