Okay, let's get on with the lesson. So we join Rory and Alejandro at Balma Airport. Alejandro has just arrived in Majorca and Rory has gone to the airport to meet him. As we'll find out, Maria will join him later. Rory starts by asking Alejandro if he's had a good flight, and it seems that the flight was fantastic. no turbulence at all. Rory immediately starts using the Argentinian expressions like Bive and realizes that he has missed Alejandro's accent. Indeed, he says that since he met Maria,

his Spanish grammar and vocabulary have improved lots. But he has lost his Argentinian accent. Since because I Maria, my grammatica and my vocabulary has

much, but I've perided accent Argentino. Alejandro says that he has come to

the island to help Rory with his accent. Rory explains that Maria is coming to pick them up

in the next half hour. Rory came in the bus but Maria is just leaving work so she'll

come to pick them up and they'll drive to Andratch together. Alejandro is

impressed. He says that Maria looks after Rory well. Rory and Alejandro

decide to go for a coffee while they're waiting for Maria. Alejandro tells Rory that he has bought new diving equipment. It was very expensive, but he thinks it was worth it. Rory says that he's saving up to pay for his studies. He'd like to start studying in September, but he's not yet decided the exact topic. In fact, he's not at all sure about what he should study. It needs to be a topic which is both interesting and innovative.

Alejandro understands that Rory must be a bit fed up with the whole thing, but Rory explains that he's fine when he doesn't think about it and that Maria is convinced that he'll be inspired although he's not quite so sure Maria says that no me preoccupy that yeah me will be in inspiration but I don't stay so convinced Alejandro changes the subject

and asks Rory what the plans are for his week-long stay on Mallorca Alejandro would love to do some diving Rory has some time off as a result of the extra work he's been doing for Consuelo so he reveals that he's planning an adventure. But as we know, this is against Maria's wishes and Rory wouldn't like to fall out with Maria as a result.

He thinks that he'll be able to win her over. Alejandro is keen to find out more about the plan that Rory is hatching. Rory explains, He wants to go in search of sunken treasure. He wants to go in search of sunken treasure. Alejandro can't quite believe this, but Rory promises to fill him in with all the day.

details after he's spoken to Maria. He suggests that the three of them go for dinner in a very good restaurant and just at that point Maria pulls up in the car. Alejandro's first impression of his friend's girlfriend is that he has chosen well. Claro. As a good Spanish, very wapa. Exactly. Now, when Rory says that you won't believe what I'm about to tell you, he uses a phrase

that we have heard quite a number of times before. Let's listen to it again. No te lo vas to creer. No te lo vas a creer. Let's split this up and think about the way in which this is grammatically constructed. First of all, we've got the verb creer, which of course means to believe.

So you're not going to believe this, but the important thing is here that the creer also has a se and also has a lo. So it's crearselo to believe it to

yourself almost. So no te lo vas to creer You are not going to believe it But literally you are not going to believe it to yourself And we always have to use that When we're talking about this particular expression There's another way of saying the same No vas to creertelot

Very well so there we're taking the te and the lo And putting them onto the end of the verb Of course only in the infinitive sense no me lo go to creer, no boy to creer me lo however, if they were talking about you're going to believe it or I'm

going to believe it, if we're talking about I believe it in a present tense there of course our reflexive pronoun and the object pronoun they have to come before the verb. So I don't believe it would be, let's see if our listeners can think of this, I don't believe it

using the reflexive pronoun, the object pronoun and then the verb it would be No me lo creo no me lo creo so not to me it I believe no me lo creo

but of course when we move that verb and change it in the tense if we're putting it into an immediate future tense using i a a so ira plus the infinitive no me lo go to create now how would we move that into

let's say the perfect tense again a compound tense so we've got different parts of this how would we say I haven't believed it to myself let's see if our listeners can think of this

I haven't believed it to myself okay Carmen no no me lo he creed no me lo so the perfect tense the past participle

of creer becomes creido and here we're saying no me lo he creed perfect no me lo he creed or he hasn't believed it or she hasn't believed it,

no se lo ha creedro. Exactly. So, crearselo in the infinitive. And then if it's a conjugated verb, we need to put the reflexive pronoun, the object pronoun, and the verb after that. Correct. Very well, this is where we are going to leave our listeners

to the preview version of this show. Of course, there is an extended version in which we go through the entire passage in great detail and we'll be talking about all that wonderful Argentinian language in here.
