In this Spanish lesson we are going to practice using some verbs which have a different meaning when used with indicative or subjunctive. 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 Advanced 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

Advanced Spanish Lesson – Verbs with double meanings depending on indicative or subjunctive<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Now play the audio to listen a conversation. Can you understand what is being said? 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

Sonia: Hola Ben \u00bfQu\u00e9 te parece que vayamos a visitar a Raquel esta tarde?<\/p>\n

Ben: \u00bfA Raquel? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? \u00bfLe pasa algo?<\/p>\n

Sonia: \u00bfNo lo sabes? Tuvo un accidente de coche y est\u00e1 en el hospital.<\/p>\n

Ben: \u00bfQu\u00e9 dices? No ten\u00eda ni idea. \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1?<\/p>\n

Sonia: Creo que bien. Tiene las dos piernas rotas pero est\u00e1 bien. Ayer habl\u00e9 con ella por tel\u00e9fono y me dijo que cree que saldr\u00e1 del hospital pronto. Tambi\u00e9n me dijo que fuera a visitarla cuando tuviera tiempo, que est\u00e1 muy aburrida.<\/p>\n

Ben: Ah claro. Normal.<\/p>\n

Sonia: Y he pensado que vengas conmigo. A Raquel le gustar\u00eda verte.<\/p>\n

Ben: Me gustar\u00eda mucho ir contigo pero me temo que no voy a poder. Tengo que trabajar esta tarde. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no esperas a ma\u00f1ana? Tengo el d\u00eda libre.<\/p>\n

Sonia: No s\u00e9. Temo que Raquel se deprima si no va nadie a visitarla hoy. No tiene muchos amigos y me parece que se siente muy sola.<\/p>\n

Ben: S\u00ed claro. Comprendo que quieras ir esta tarde. Quiz\u00e1 la visite yo ma\u00f1ana por la ma\u00f1ana.<\/p>\n

Sonia: Eso es buena idea. Raquel se va a poner super contenta.<\/p>\n
