Coffee Break Spanish Season 4, Episode 30.
Hello,
I'm on Coffee Break Spanish.
I'm on my own today, and I'm very content to
be here with you today.
Desgracially, Carmen, no is today.
She's got to vacations,
but we need to grab our lection,
and for that I'm on my own today.
Carmen is off on holiday,
but we needed to get this lesson recorded,
so I'm afraid it's just me today.
Now, we've got an interesting text today for you,
because this is slightly different from some of the other texts we've been looking at recently.
Of course, the texts are all following the story of Rory and Alejandro and Maria
and how they have been discovering the hidden treasure.
But today, we have a text,
something different.
In the last episode, Rory and Alejandro were talking
of the possibility of the periodical and, of actually,
they're
this
time
have
been set
in the
periodico
in the
periodico
of Majorca
and in
this episode
we're
to read
the article
of
New Yorka
of course
we should
see that if
this
happens to
be the
first time
you've
ever tuned
into
coffee brick
Spanish
then you're
coming
in at a
certain
point in
our story
in fact
we're
three
quarters of
the
way through
the
story
and if you'd
like
to catch
up
with a
whole story
or indeed
if you
find this
a little
challenging
then
you need to
head over
to
iTunes or indeed our website at coffeebrickspanish.com where you find access to all the old lessons both of this season and our previous seasons.
Well, we'll go.
So, Maria, yeah, hema a Rory to explain to her to tell you that they've gone in the periodical.
We're going to hear the dialogue, the conversation between the two friends.
Rory, we, we'll see, we'll hear it.
That is,
I'll leo.

You'll have to
explain me the
better when
we're going to
see us.
Okay.
Really,
it's very
difficult
this text.
Well,
Maria
says that's
very difficult
this
text.
And the
is that
is quite a
tricky
text, given
that a
different style
of languages
used in
newspapers
to the
language that
we are
used to
certainly in
these
episodes listening
to
Rory and
Maria
and Alejandro
and
also Maria's
diary entries
because they're
much
more
informal than
the
kind
formal language used in the newspaper article.
Okay, we'll be back in just a moment.
As you know, this is a preview episode of the Coffee Break Spanish Season 4 course,
but you can access the full course over at the Coffee Break Academy.
This gives you access to the extended version of our lessons in which we discuss the full text,
and we provide a transcript and bonus audio materials to help you practice what you've learned,
with translation challenges and further assistance.
To find out more about how you can benefit from this course, head over to coffeebreakacademy.com.
Okay, let's get on with the lesson.
Now, the article itself really just explains what we already know.
It tells of the fact that a Scottish young person, a Jovene-Squess, has found, together with his girlfriend,
who's a Naturao de Andrach, a native of Andrach, a chest full.
of jewels belonging to a Scottish ship called Fish Guard.
And we get a little more of the details.
The article tells of how the treasure was found,
how they set off to look for the treasure on the boat
with some basic equipment with the equipment
to descend 30 meters of profundity.
So the basic equipment to go down for 30 meters into the sea
and to find out whether the rumors of hidden treasure
under the sea were true.
The article goes on to talk about the passion for diving of Rory and Alejandro,
La Pasion for the Submarinism of Rory and Alejandro.
And it explains also that they found the treasure on a warm summer's evening,
a warm Balearic summer's evening.
A calurosa tarde del verano balear.
As we already know and as the article explains,
we are not quite sure what's going to happen with the treasure,
but for the time being
the three young people involved
have shown themselves to be following
all the rules and waiting
to find out what happens.
They're not expecting any kind of reward
but if that happens then
all the better. The chest is
currently being held by the police
until such times as the judges in
Palma de Mallorca, the capital of
Mallorca, decide what's going to happen to it.
And the article finishes by
saying that Rory Maria
and Alejandro will have found their place in history
because they've discovered the results of a secret
that has been unknown for over 60 years.
Now Rory has been listening to this article
being read by Maria and he says at the end
I think I've understood almost everything
but you'll need to explain it to me better
when we see each other.
Now that's interesting.
of course because it's a subjunctive after
wheno wheno no sbjombo it's not sure that they will see each other hopefully they will
but when it's referring to a future always requires the subjunctive
when no seeamos beaumos let's just go through there in the subjunctive
when you bea when you beas
when he or she bea
when we're
we're
when
we're
when we're
when
they're
using
when we're using
when nos
we're using
a kind of
reciprocal
reflexive if you
like
when we
see each other
you could also
say
when
we know
we're also
we say
always
we say
te quiro
when we
write to each
other every
day we always
say
I love you
That's of course using an indicative.
If you're referring to the future,
when we write to each other,
I will tell you, I love you.
When noescribamos,
using the subjunctive form,
when noescribamos,
Te dire, I will tell you, I love you.
There you go.
Some useful language, hopefully, for you.
Albeit a rather strange example.
Okay, that's where we're going to leave
this episode of Coffee Break Spanish,
this preview episode certainly,
and we'll be back next time.
both of us with episode 31. I'm sure you've missed Carmen as much as I have in this episode.
