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 – Spanish expressions of agreement and disagreement<\/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

Andy: Hola Marta \u00bfQu\u00e9 te parece el nuevo restaurante de la esquina?<\/p>\n

Marta: \u00bfEl restaurante de Mar\u00eda y Pedro? <\/p>\n

Andy: S\u00ed, ese. A m\u00ed me parece fant\u00e1stico. Buena comida a buen precio.<\/p>\n

Marta: Pero \u00bfqu\u00e9 dices? \u00bfbuena comida? La comida es una basura.<\/p>\n

Andy: Pues a m\u00ed me gusta. Y todos los ingredientes son productos de la zona.<\/p>\n

Marta: \u00a1No digas tonter\u00edas! Eso es imposible. \u00bfMe est\u00e1s diciendo que los pl\u00e1tanos que usan en el Banana Split son del pueblo? \u00a1Eso no tiene ni pies ni cabeza!<\/p>\n

Andy: Bueno, eso dicen ellos. Yo me lo creo. Pedro y Mar\u00eda son buena gente.<\/p>\n

Marta: Yo no estoy de acuerdo para nada. Pedro es muy competitivo y envidioso y siempre se asegura de quedar por encima de sus hermanos. <\/p>\n

Andy: Puede ser, pero quiz\u00e1 lo hace porque se siente inferior y necesita un poco de apreciaci\u00f3n. Pedro es el hermano peque\u00f1o de una familia grande. Lo ha tenido duro.<\/p>\n

Marta: \u00bfDuro? \u00a1Anda ya! El hermano peque\u00f1o siempre lo tiene todo m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil. Lo que pasa es que a Pedro sus padres le han dado siempre todo y siempre le han dicho lo fant\u00e1stico que es. Se lo tiene muy cre\u00eddo.<\/p>\n

Andy: Eso no tiene sentido. Si Pedro fuera tan seguro de s\u00ed mismo no necesitar\u00eda tanta atenci\u00f3n como t\u00fa dices. <\/p>\n

Marta: Mira Andy, yo no soy psic\u00f3loga. Lo \u00fanico que s\u00e9 es que el restaurante de Pedro y Mar\u00eda es mal\u00edsimo y que no voy a ir all\u00ed en la vida.<\/p>\n

Andy: Vamos a ver. \u00bfPero tienes tu alg\u00fan problema con Pedro y Mar\u00eda? Pareces resentida.<\/p>\n

Marta: \u00bfResentida yo? \u00a1Deja de decir chorradas!<\/p>\n

Andy: No s\u00e9 yo\u2026<\/p>\n
