So this week we're of course listening to a conversation between Rory and Maria and they are planning a trip.

They both have the weekend off, so they're thinking about heading off to spend some time together, discovering the island of Majorca. In fact, Maria is suggesting the famous combination of sea and mountain, the best of both worlds. Could we do a route of mar and mountaina if you appease? Mar and Maria explains that if they cross over the sierra, and that's the range of mountains down the western side of the island of Majorca, they will reach a beautiful cove. They could head there in the morning and have lunch and then,

spend the afternoon at the beach. Maria mentions a beautiful medieval town. It's called Baidemosa. And if you do get the chance to go to Baidemossa, it's a beautiful little village, or a town rather, up in the hills, and it's very calm and very peaceful, and you get good coffees and good food

and lots of restaurants there. Anyway, I'm getting carried away here. This is the town where the French author, Georges Saint, and the composer Frederick Chopin, spent time indeed. San wrote about this experience in the book, Aniverr a Mayork. And it seems that Maria got a little bit confused about Unberano. She said that they spent unberano in La Isla, but she should of course have said, Uninvierno. Easy to mix up those two

words, Unberano, on Invierno. Of course, they mean two different things. She suggests that they could even find a little hotel in Bardemossa and then head out for an early Sunday visit to a fortified tower in the northeast of the island. However, it seems that Rory would prefer to take things easy on a Sunday morning. Maria, no preferres levantarnos con tranquillidad el dominoe and go to the day? So, Maria is not put off by Rory. She says that there will be time to visit the tower and then go to the Mesquida Cove in the north of the island. They'll have lunch on the seafront and then have a little siesta on one of the beaches. And Rory, finally agrees as long as he gets the chance to do some snorke. Rory says he loves the water in

Majorca. It's crystal clear and most importantly it's warm. It tends to be much colder when he dives in Scotland, but he'd happily spend the whole day in the water in Mallorca if he could. Here me passeria the day submerged. Submergido. Submergido submerged. They discuss what they need to take with them on their trip for their picnic on Saturday at lunchtime. They plan to buy bread, cold meat, fruit and for dessert and ensignada. And this is a typical Mayorkan pastry, and I have to see it tastes quite wonderful. Delitiosa. They also need to bring some other things like swimsuits, towels, sun cream and a few more items which Rory lists practicing his Spanish vocabulary. So all they need to do now is buy the things they need.

And tomorrow they'll be heading off on their weekend of tourism. Maria finishes by saying she can't wait. What ganas I'm going. Now that is an interesting expression. What Ganas Tener Ganas. And it literally means what desires I have. Yes, or what I wish to do or what wishes, yes. Tener ganas of do or whatever.

O'clock or pere. So, to have to be in a ganas that something to happen. It's the same as Kerhkao Pase or occurra. Exactly. But let's go back to what Ganas Tengo. If we were wanting to say, I can't wait in English, and we wanted to translate that literally into Spanish, then that wouldn't work. If you could say, no Puedo Esper, does that sound the same? It sounds the same, but we don't really say that sentence at all. We always use

So it's a very common phrase. So if I wanted to say, oh, I can't wait to arrive in Majorca. So listen again to that. So I can't wait to arrive in Majorca, that's to arrive in Majorca, that I can't wait to arrive in Majorca, that I guess I've got to get in Majorca. Exactly.

That's to get in Majorca. Let's try some other examples. How would you say, I can't wait to see you. Let's give our listeners some time to think about this. I can't wait to see you. Okay, so I can't wait to see you would be, Ke ganas I've got to be vert. Beert plus the pronoun te, stuck on to the end of the infinitive. Let's try one more. How would we say we are going to New Yorker this summer, we can't wait to try ensymada.

Okay, how would that be? We're going to New Yorka this vera. Of course. So there we're changing Tengo to Tenemos because we're changing the person of the verb. What Ganas Tenoz de probar la ensignada. And we don't just say to prove enzaimada, prove la enzaimada. Well, it's

It's now to say to our audience that are listening the version preview
