04:51It's our mission to help you turn your downtime into your due time.Okay, let's get on with the lesson.Okay, let's think about the text a little.We'll go through our English version now.Rory, as we know, is back in Scotland,trying to prepare for the departure to Argentina.All the paperwork is hard going, but he's getting it sorted out.He went to the Argentinian consulate this morning to organize his visa,
05:25but it turned out that he forgot the most important thing,the letter from the government,which explains that he'll be going to the University of Buenos Aires,to do his doctorate.Resultathat I'vealready thepart of
05:39the governmentin whichhe'sthecase.The consulateis closedthis afternoon
05:45so he'llgo backtomorrow withall thenecessary documents.Even thoughhe still hastime, he's
05:50requested anexpress visa.It's a bitmore expensivebut they'lldeliver itsooner.He's very
05:55excited aboutthe whole thing.Yesterday when hearrived backat the airport,his parentsand his sisterwere waiting
06:02for him.He almostburstinto tears. He was really looking forward to seeing them and admits that although at times heplays the tough guy, he really is a softy at heart. He's not seen his friends yet. He's arranged tomeet them tomorrow after sorting out his visa. They've already sent him text messages, however,telling him that he and Maria should make sure they hire an apartment with two bedrooms for whenthey come to visit. Rory also mentions that his friends have seen some photos of Maria on Facebook,
06:30and according to them, she's a total babe.and that they make a good couple.This afternoon, Rory is going with his sister to buy a new case, a new suitcase,because the wheels on his old one are broken.He'll also bring his rucksacks so that they can go backpacking.He's a bit concerned about taking too much luggagebecause of all the winter clothes he'll need.Travelling light is not something he's very good at.
06:59One other thing Rory has to do is go to the Scottish Parliamentto get his mention.Orifika signed.That's the certificatepresented to himat the receptionin Majorca.He finishes the email
07:10in a hurryas he's been calledfor lunch.The problem ishe's not very hungry.He's got usedto the Mediterraneantimetable for meals.
07:18You know,no I'mI'm accustomed tothe oratorranean.Poor,poor Rory.Okay,let's talk
07:26a littleof an expressionthat hasused to Rory.What expression,Mark?No is aexpression very
07:31complicated.It's whenhe says,Kasi Joro.Yes.Okay,he's talkingin the
07:37past.He's talkingwhat hehas beenwhen hecame tothe airportand they
07:43were waitinghis parentsand hismother.And hesaid inthe emailto Maria
07:51KasiJoro.Now thismust meanthat Roryis reallydevelopinghis Spanish
07:57expressionbecause thisis very,very, avery sort ofnativeway ofspeaking,
08:02isn't it?Because he's using a present tense.But to refer to something in the past.Exactly.We can't help with this, forfather.Well, let me.Rory is talking the story
08:14so emocionadothat to give himasys,more importance,use the present.But it's a style.It's just a style.I think you do that.You do the same in English,
08:26don't you?Absolutely.Yeah, we do the same in Englishif you're imaginingsome kind of storythat someone's telling you.And I'm really,running along the road and the guy's chasing me behind all this kind of thing. So you're making
08:37it more exciting by using the present tense. And just really to point out that we can do the samein Spanish. So Rory is saying, cassidioro, I'm just about crying. But in this sense, we are stilltalking in the past, even though you're using a present tense. Now, the other way it doesn't work.We can't always use the present tense to describe the past. No.Definitely not. The other expression I wanted to pick up on was,when Rory in fact just straight after thathe says, me agoel duro.
09:08I pretend to beYeah, I pretend to be hardYeah, but no.So, to make oneselfthe hard, to kind of play the hard guy,to play the tough guy,but in actual fact, it's all a game,it's all a front.
09:27Me Aguil Durro.Are there other ways?I've got another expression.Venga.Acerse el sordo.Acerse el sordo?Mm-hmm.Is that would, would that literally to make oneself the deaf one?
09:39Yes, yes.Is that like...When you're not interested in a conversation,and you're just, you pretend that you're not listening, but you are listening.Okay.Like, for example, I remember when I was young,and my mom used to ask me to set up the table for lunch.Mm-hmm.
09:55Carmen, put the mesa.Carmen, pon the mesa, and so, repetida of,And I wasAnd I usedto my motherto askme,Carmen,
10:04put themess,but noshe was askingme,and I waswas,I was,
10:10I was,I was,I was doingbecause Icouldn't hear.Yeah.Because you didn'twant to do that.
10:17Yeah, noproblem.Okay.So,no youdo you ask,the sorda.In your case,
10:23no youdo youdo youmake the sorda andset thetable.Yeah.Very
10:27good.So we've gotTo do you doro,to make the sordo,Mm-hmm.So,can sayalso,
10:34to be said,to say,don't know,or, well,actuar ina waytonta.So to play the fool,
10:44perhaps,to carry on.Very well.Okay,there is lotsmore discussionabout all of theseexpressions,
10:52and indeed the whole textin our extendedversion,and you can findit more abouthow to accessthat atCoffee Break Spanish
