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

Tom: Oye Ana \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no viniste el s\u00e1bado a la cena de empresa?
\nAna: No pude. Estaba enferma con una gripe horrible. \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal fue?
\nTom: Bueno bien. La comida estaba buen\u00edsima la verdad. Me puse como el quico.
\nAna: \u00bfS\u00ed? Pues Raquel me dijo que los platos eran demasiado grandes y de poca calidad.
\nTom: Es que Raquel es muy tiquismiquis y come como un pajarito.
\nAna: No s\u00e9, yo creo que t\u00fa tienes un est\u00f3mago sin fondo.
\nTom: La verdad es que no le hago ascos a nada.
\nAna: S\u00ed, comes como una lima.
\nTom: Lo que m\u00e1s me gusta es la tortilla de patata.
\nAna: Pues a m\u00ed la tortilla no me dice nada. Prefiero comer una buena paella.
\nTom: Pues venga, vamos a comernos una paella, que tengo hambre.
\nAna: Venga vale. \u00a1Nos vamos a poner las botas!<\/p>\n
