One of the last there, Alejandro me has said that me put in contact with an friend's who you that will be contractar to work in a museum and I'll be able to obtain the permission of the job. The truth is that, the moment, it's all getting

all around. Alejandro also also that we've got Piso, we can alohar in your house because it has a

Okay, let's go back and look through the text in a little more detail and we'll begin by our English version. As we join Maria for this episode, she and Rory have made their decision. They're going to be heading off to live in Argentina. Even though Maria's parents feel it's very far away, they're happy for the young couple,

although Tia Consuelo has said that she's going to miss them lots and that Maria has to come back soon. The Tia Consuelo me has said that willa pronto, that we'll etchara much of men. Maria is going to miss her whole family and her beloved island of Majorca but she feels it's the right time for her to go and live abroad there's nothing to keep her there for now she doesn't really have any commitments and she really wants to explore a new city

a new country and indeed a new continent what's more the fact that there are two of them will make it easier to adapt to a new way of life as they'll be a good support for each other I think that, being two, it will be more adapt to our new rhythm.

We'll support the one to other. I'll grow as people together. The fact is that traveling helps you

to see things from another point of view and to be more humble with the rest of the world and with yourself too. Deep stuff from Maria.

Very philosophica, Maria. They obviously have lots to organize now. They've decided to leave in four weeks' time so that Rory has time to go back to Scotland and so that they can sort out all the paperwork for their

visa. Rory will be traveling with a student visa and Maria is organizing a tourist visa which lasts three months. Once she's there, Alejandro has told her that he'll put her in touch with someone who will give her some work in a museum and at that point she'll be able to get a work visa. Everything seems to be working out for the best. The fact is that, the moment, is that's allienda all round. As far as accommodation is concerned, Alejandro has told them that they can stay with him until they find an apartment.

So they've got a bit of slack to allow them to find somewhere nice to stay. Maria says that getting around in Buenos Aires must be pretty difficult given the size of the city. So they'll try to find something near both the university and where she ends up working. And as soon as they have some days off, they'll go travelling. Tomorrow evening, Rory is going back to Scotland for a couple of weeks. Maria will miss him

but she's so happy that they're going to be living together soon that she'll put up with this short period of being apart without complaining it'll be strange not having him in Mallorca especially since things are quieter and they have time off but she'll take the opportunity

to catch up with her friends and to spend some time with her parents Maria finishes by saying that she's going to try to get some sleep because she wants to be fresh tomorrow when she meets up with Rory at 11 They're going to have breakfast in a restaurant with a sea view before he heads to the airport. Very interesting, no?

I have some expressions, well, interesting, that me have been interesting. Well, well, tell us. Salir, all redondo. I like much. What has said, Maria, then? It's out all round. It's saliento, all redondo. Redondo, it means to say round.

Yeah, right? Circul, yeah, round, yeah, yeah. Let us an example of redondo in a phrase normal, without salier. The manzana is redonda. Well, that's so. Very simple. The apple is round, redondo, redonda.

Just in that simple sense, it just means round. But when we're seeing that things come out round, something is out round, or allo is out round. And in this case, we're talking about things coming out for the next. Working out well, yeah. Exactly. And Redondo, I think, if I'm writing saying, you can use Redondo with some other expressions too. For example?

Am I written thinking you can say caer redondo? Also, very good, very good expression, Mark. Well, tell us. Let us an example of caer redondo in a phrase. Caer redondo is when you're very tired. So, can't sad that caes redondo to the camera. Okay, then we'd say, I'm done to say, I'm done. caigo redondo

in the camera would say in the camera or I'm a redonda

to fall round which doesn't sound very exhausting in English but to fall around

caer redondo and if you're female obviously you would say caer redonda or the plural form would be used also

those the nios caen redondos or the nias cae redondas perfect and

anything else with Redondo? Well, also in mind, that would negar in redondo. Negar.

Negar. Negar means to deny. Correct. So, negar in redondo? To deny

deny, I don't know this expression, to deny emphatically or something like that? Yes. So to roundly deny something.

Very very. Negar in redondo. You can give us a example. Me

accused of Dadrona, but I know And just one thing for our listeners there, think about how you would spell Neget, neget, N-E-G-U-E, with an accent. We need the U in there to keep the G sound hard. So, negay in redondo.

Me accuser on the... Ladrona. But negay in redondo. I flatly denied it. I denied it categorically. Yes, exactly. Very well. Well,

also for this expression, another option would negar in rotundo. Ah, then

rotundo would be the same no? Yes, no there. No, no there's

no no different. Okay. And you what preferes? I normally use in rotundo.

In rotundo. But the two are correctas. Perfect. Now, if you would like more
