In this Spanish lesson we are going to practice describing how things taste or smell in Spanish. 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 – Describing how things taste or smell in Spanish<\/strong><\/a><\/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

\nJohn: Estoy haciendo un curry. Me encanta la comida india.
\nPatricia: Pues huele que alimenta.
\nJohn: \u00bfQuieres quedarte a cenar? Tengo comida de sobra.
\nPatricia: Mmmm creo que no, gracias. El curry huele muy bien pero no me gusta c\u00f3mo sabe. Es demasiado picante.
\nJohn: Por eso no te preocupes. A m\u00ed tampoco me gusta el picante. Este curry no sabe picante.
\nPatricia:\u00bfSeguro?
\nJohn: S\u00ed, s\u00ed, seguro.
\nPatricia: Un momento. \u00bfQu\u00e9 es ese olor? \u00a1Huele a rayos!
\nJohn: \u00a1Oh no! \u00a1Se me ha quemado el curry!
\nPatricia: Eso te pasa por hablar tanto. Te has distra\u00eddo. No se puede hablar y cocinar al mismo tiempo.
\nJohn: \u00a1Pero si eres t\u00fa la que me has distra\u00eddo!
\nPatricia: \u00bfYo? No digas tonter\u00edas John. Venga, vamos a cenar a fuera.
\nJohn: Vale…<\/p>\n
