In this episode, we're joining Rory and Maria in the village of Balde Mosa. They've hurried inland to one of the most beautiful spots on the island for an ice cream. After the exciting few days, the press interest and their normal day-to-day jobs, Rory admits to be quite tired and asks Maria how she's baring up. Maria agrees she's worn out because she's done two shifts one after another, but, as she explains, fortunately, her colleague who has been off work is coming back today. so Maria will be off the hook. Today me has

made a message of text and me has said that she's feeling better and she can come back to work. Rory tries to take control of things and suggests that they need to sit down and have a serious think about their future.

In two weeks their life together has changed completely and if they're going to go and live somewhere completely different they need to gear up for it. They've got to put their pilas. Maria suggests that she should make a list of all the countries she'd like to visit and perhaps they could go to the library to do some research. But it turns out that Rory is a step ahead

because he went to the library yesterday and has borrowed some travel guides. He suggests that they have a look at them over dinner this evening. Maria brings up the fact that within a few days, their summer contracts will have come to an end. She asks Rory if he's planning to go home to Scotland to see. his family. He is indeed, but has not yet booked flights because he's been so busy. He realizes that this means the flights will be expensive. Maria suggests that they take things step by step. Well, buyamos pass a pass. First of all, they're going to decide their destination and

then try to identify their departure date. Maria also suggests that they need to take on board. the matriculation dates for the university courses in the various possible destinations. She's heard that in Argentina courses begin in March. It's late August in this story, regardless of when you're listening to this. And this means that if they leave late September, they'll have plenty of time to travel, find a place to live, and establish themselves before Rory would have to start studying. Rory suggests that if they chose Argentina,

it would be fairly easy to start from scratch there with Alejandro's help. Maria thinks that Buenos Aires would be the perfect base from which to travel and to get to know Argentina and further afield. Rory agrees. Tonight, they'll look at the travel guides and he's pretty sure that they'll find somewhere to indulge in his favorite underwater pastimes too. And as an extra bonus, he's discovered that in the University of Buenos Aires, there's a professor who specializes in his field, so he's suggesting that he should go ahead and email him to find out if he would be willing to accept Rory as a doctoral. student.

Today me to make a minute my thesis doctoral. Maria asks Rory,

if he's finished his ice cream. She asks for the bill and he head out for a

walk around Baldemosa before returning to Andratz. Very let's go back and look at

one of the sentences actually one of the sentences that you read in Spanish there.

Could we hear again Carmen please? Well, we'll decide to first we

let us to live and we put a Feetia. Okay, three different Let's do something and using the subjunctive in each case for that let's imperative.

Well, bayamos, passo a pass. Let's go step by step. Let's take things step by step. Primero Decidamos, a where we're going to live. Let's decide to where we're going to live.

And then, well, that's put a fecha to decide on a date, to pick a date, choose a date. but pongamos also a let's do something using the first person plural of the subjunctive so let's take things step by step let's decide where we're going to live and let's pick a date

so that's the let's imperative let's do something we simply go to the first person plural of the subjunctive the present subjunctive and we can use that as a let's do something let's do something badiamos Decidamos, Pongamos. Carmen, can you help us

test our listeners on this particular expression? I'm going to give you a couple of sentences. Do you want them in English or in Spanish? Let's go with one of each. Can we do one in English into Spanish and one Spanish into English? Let's do the Spanish into English one first.

So, let's talk about the situation then, perhaps. Yes. Okay. So it does sound a little bit ominous. There's some serious discussions going to be taking place there. Okay, let's go for another one. This time from English into Spanish.

We're going to China, so let's learn Chinese. Ah, okay. We're going to China, so let's learn Chinese. We'll give you 10 seconds again to think this one through. We're going to China, so let's learn Chinese. Okay. We're going to China. Could we just say,

Bamos to China? Yes. or could we say, We're heading off to China. So we're heading off to China. So, let's learn Chinese. We're going to use the present

subjunctive, the Nosotros form. Very bien, Mark. So, we can we say, we say, we know, we? Can we say, we know, Chinese?
