Starting point is 00:00:42 Spanish magazine before. And yes, we did. We did a magazine a few years back, which involved some video content and some audio recordings and all sorts of things. But this is the new look magazine. It's the revamped magazine. And the reason it's season one is because we are also running a season one in Italian, in French and German at the moment. And we thought, let's keep things together. This is our new magazine starting in 2019 and hopefully continuing for a long time after that. And I'm super contented to be here with a big. Many years, yes. What's good.

Starting point is 00:01:43 have a accent different, no? Yes, a very different,
Starting point is 00:01:47 but very beautiful. Well, it's very important for our people that
Starting point is 00:01:51 these differences between the accent that I of the accent of Spanish,
Starting point is 00:01:57 so, I learned my Spanish in Salamanca, in Spain, but you, you, you know, you know, a accent, Latino, and
Starting point is 00:02:06 well, more specific, Chile, no. Chile, no. But, yes, it's a good practice for all. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Now, in each episode of the Coffee Break Spanish magazine, we are going to be presenting a text, and these texts have been written
Starting point is 00:02:20 in such a way that you're going to be getting exposure, both to, if you like, Spain, Spanish,
Starting point is 00:02:24 and also other types of Spanish, particularly accents from certain areas. Obviously, you'll be getting Fernandez Chileana accent or Chileano accent, but you'll also be hearing from our colleague Sophia, who is from Panama. And we'll be handing over to Sophia in just a moment. We'll talk about the text. We also have a question from a listener that's coming up,
Starting point is 00:02:47 and then Sophia will be sharing with us some interesting vocabulary or something, some kind of idiomatic expression or something, a little later in the episode. Now, the magazine is aimed at intermediate learners of Spanish. And for that reason, we will be talking a fair bit in Spanish. But we'll try to talk a little more slowly than normal, okay. Yes, no se, don't be able to.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Okay, well, we're going to turn our attention to the text for this week. And it's a text about a very interesting topic, very close to the high. parts of many Spanish speakers, be they from Spain or indeed Latin America. It's time to hand over to Sophia. Yes, then we'll listen to Sophia now. Hello, all. For this first episode, we're going to talk about a sport that is subamente popular. The football, and especially in Latin America.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Are you? Are you? Do you think that the football is important only in Europe? Well, you're not quite. A Pesar that this sport was originated
Starting point is 00:04:03 in England, in Latin America is the most important. All it was
Starting point is 00:04:09 when the British took the football to Brazil around of the
Starting point is 00:04:14 year 1885 and this was popularized for the region
Starting point is 00:04:20 of Argentina creating so the first fed the
Starting point is 00:04:23 football of America Latina the AFA now now
Starting point is 00:04:27 we know we know because these two equipes are so good, right?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Then the popularity of football grew rapidly for all the continent,
Starting point is 00:04:38 yeah that's a sport that's a sport Argentina 4 to 2, gannance so, the title of the first champion of the
Starting point is 00:05:05 World of Football. A long of the history, it's formed a rivalry between Brazil and Argentina, which is
Starting point is 00:05:14 cataloged by the media as one of the most intense. These two countries with great experience
Starting point is 00:05:21 footballistic have gotten the heart of all Latin America. For one one side, is Brazil
Starting point is 00:05:28 with his five Copas Worldial and great players like Pelé,
Starting point is 00:05:33 Ronaldo and other other other side is Argentina with two Copes Worldial
Starting point is 00:05:39 and Maradona and Messi that this is sure we know we know
Starting point is 00:05:43 we know one of the one of the people the people
Starting point is 00:05:46 but today there are other countries Latin American that they
Starting point is 00:05:52 make difficult competition to these countries the Colombia, Uruguay, Mexico, and Chile are the most
Starting point is 00:06:00 destacredos, and the classifications to the world are expected by all, because whatever thing can happen. In fin, the football is a sport that unes a whole a country, a whole continent, and it's so important that it is part of the culture of many countries. The emotions that are in the parties, go to the stadium,
Starting point is 00:06:22 to be a your country in the Cup World are one of the reasons
Starting point is 00:06:26 for that the football is in the heart of all the Latinos. I have to
Starting point is 00:06:31 be honest as a Scottish person seeing my team play in the
Starting point is 00:06:36 World Cup is not really one of these things that I experience
Starting point is 00:06:40 very often so a lovely text a lovely accent a new accent
Starting point is 00:06:46 for me a Panamino accent but what we are going to do now is talk a little about the language in this. And I realize that for lots of our listeners,
Starting point is 00:06:57 it may be quite challenging to listen to a long text like that. But I'm sure that our listeners have picked up lots of expressions and the meaning in general of this. And we'll go through that in detail now. But first, the football in Chile. It's a passion. It's the report principal in Chile. Well, in Latin America in general.
Starting point is 00:07:18 and, well, to see the football you know a sentiment that's a lot of to hear the
Starting point is 00:07:25 national that's that you see a lot the hymno is the most beautiful. And you
Starting point is 00:07:31 have said that you know, no see, the side of your house. Oh,
Starting point is 00:07:35 yeah, what I was talking to you know, at my house there's
Starting point is 00:07:38 a side, there I'm that's very common that there
Starting point is 00:07:43 can't there in Latin America and then there more playas,
Starting point is 00:07:49 as we have many places, and they can play in all parts. The thing is you
Starting point is 00:07:54 a place you get a immediate. Perfect. Perfect. Well, now we're
Starting point is 00:08:00 to go to the principle and we going to tryucing the text during the
Starting point is 00:08:05 next part of the program. We'll go through each part of the text and we'll
Starting point is 00:08:10 stop after each sort of part of the sentence and talk about the meaning and so
Starting point is 00:08:14 that everyone understands exactly what's going on. So, Fernanda, can you begin
Starting point is 00:08:18 So, do you think that the football is important only in Europe? So, do you think that? El football, football is important only in Europe. Now, even in this first sentence, we've got something interesting here because note how we translate this in English. Do you think football is important only in Europe? So we're just saying football. But in Spanish, what do we have?
Starting point is 00:08:44 El football. El football. So it's a now. that we're using here, but we have to give it the different articles. So we say the football. Piansas that the football is important, only in Europe. Do you think the football is only important in Europe?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Well, you're wrong. You're wrong. Estes equivocado. So estar equivocado means to be mistaken, to be wrong. Yes, commit an error. So to commit an error. And notice that you don't do an error in Spain. You don't make an error in Spanish, rather. You commit an error.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Yes, it's better. It's a better. Peer for us. But not you can't say, to make an error, no? No. It's more than commeter an error. Yes, for the general.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Or, also, equivocarse. Equivocarse, yes. So, that is a reflexive verb. So could you conjugate that reflexive verb for us quickly? Yes, yeah, yeah, I'm equivoco, you're you're wrong,
Starting point is 00:09:46 he's quix, we're not we're we're not quite, we're
Starting point is 00:09:51 they're so they're so perfect, perfect. Much thank you. Okay,
Starting point is 00:09:57 so let's go on. A so that this sport was originated in England so despite
Starting point is 00:10:04 the fact that this sport was originated in England so in spite of the fact that
Starting point is 00:10:11 this sport began in England in In Latin America, it is the most important. So the most important sport is the deport. Mast important. Mast important.
Starting point is 00:10:27 So it's the most important. It is the most important. But actually what you're saying is it is the more important because el mass, mass means more, and el mass is the most. Okay, okay, thank you. Mark, yeah, perfect. Okay, let's see it.
Starting point is 00:10:42 So, this is when the Britannics trajeroen the football to Brazil around of the year 1885. So this is an expression that you would hear regularly when you're telling a study. It all began. Everything started. All commenced when the British
Starting point is 00:11:00 tookerun the football. So when the Brits, the British people brought football to Brazil around the year 1885. So around the year 1885. So Trageron, that's from the verb, traer. Traer, yes. No confundice with
Starting point is 00:11:20 Jevar, to carry. So, Javier to carry, to bring. Yes, very well, Mark. I think one of the difficulties is that in English, we use bring in different ways in different places
Starting point is 00:11:32 where English is spoken. So in this case, we're talking about the British people brought football to Brazil around 1885 using Thrier. And it's an irretel regular verb. So it would go,
Starting point is 00:11:44 trage, trajiste, trajo. Very well. Trajimos, trajiste, trageron. Perfect, Mark. Okay, we've been practicing. Very well. Let's continue. Luego, this is popularized
Starting point is 00:11:56 for the region of Argentina, creating so, the first federation of football of America Latina. Okay, this is interesting because it says, then, Este, what's this,
Starting point is 00:12:08 Esty? What's it referring to? The football. Okay, because it's previously been mentioned. The British people brought football to Brazil and este refers to what has just been mentioned. Yes, very well, for not repeat it. So this was popularized in the region or throughout the region of Argentina. And that port is interesting there because it's not just in Argentina, but it's
Starting point is 00:12:33 for all parts of Argentina, no? Yes, very well, for all the regions, at través of Argentina. So it was popularized throughout Argentina. and this created in such a way the first federation of football within Latin America and this particular federation is known as La Afa Yes
Starting point is 00:12:53 is the association of football Argentina Perfecto Okay so let's continue with this Now we know because these two teams are so now we know why these two teams meaning Brazil and Argentina
Starting point is 00:13:11 are so good. And then that, Verda at the end, isn't that right? Very well, yeah. Good. So now we know why. It started in Brazil from the Brits, bringing it over, and then it extended into Argentina.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And they established the first federation there. Yes. Okay, so then what happened next? then. Then the popularity of football crecio rapidly for all the continent. Okay, so next,
Starting point is 00:13:41 then the popularity of football. The popularity of football, what happened? Crecio rapidly. It grew quickly for all the continent. And then that's the por again. And when we think about por,
Starting point is 00:13:55 we think about por and para and we think, oh, that would be translated as four, but no, not always with por. We've got lots of different translations, one of which would be throughout.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yes, very well, a through the places, of all the countries.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Perfect. So, for all the continent, throughout the whole
Starting point is 00:14:11 continent, yeah is a sport to practice, that not
Starting point is 00:14:16 require a very very because since. So since it's an
Starting point is 00:14:23 easy sport to practice, a sport to practice, that not
Starting point is 00:14:29 require a equipment very car, which doesn't require
Starting point is 00:14:33 very expensive equipment. No, what we said before. With a play you do you want to go to do you.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Okay, let's continue. In the year 1990, so the first Worldial of Football
Starting point is 00:14:47 organized by the FIFA. Okay, so in the year 1930, so the first World
Starting point is 00:14:54 of football. So the first football World Championship, a world championship, a
Starting point is 00:15:01 so it literally means a You could think of it as the adjective associated with world, Mundial, it's worldwide, but Un Mundial is the word that's used for a world championship. So the first world championship of football was organized by FIFA. And it's taken to give it a cabo, and nothing less than Montevideo, Uruguay.
Starting point is 00:15:24 And it took place, yeah, yeah, yeah, to be it. So it's a nice way of saying it took place. It was carried out. It was undertaken in no place other than Montevideo in Uruguay. Nothing more and no less than in Montevideo, Uruguay. So no more and no less than in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Yes, it's a very good expression for more importance.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Can you give us another example of that, Fernanda? Yes, for example, the Gainador of the premium was nothing more and nothing than Diego Luna. Okay, so
Starting point is 00:16:05 the winner of the price was none other than Diego Luna. Yes. Oh, the podcast for learning
Starting point is 00:16:12 is nothing more, and nothing than anything. Coffee Spanish. Good stuff. Okay,
Starting point is 00:16:19 let's continue with our text. In the final, Uruguay was Argentina four to two. So in the final,
Starting point is 00:16:27 Uruguay beat Argentina for too. And the verb that's used there is Benfer. Perfect, Mark, very well. So that is conjugated as Benzio in the preterate tense. And it means, it's like vanquished almost. Yes, it's like, derotar. Yeah, like synonym of derotar, but in the
Starting point is 00:16:46 fond, it's significa that Uruguay Gano. Gano. Yes, yes, Uruguay, Gano. Very well. So what happened when they beat Argentina? So, ganandos so, the title of the first champion of the World of Football. So in this way, I see,
Starting point is 00:17:02 they earned the title of first champion of the world of football. So they were the first Football World Champions, Uruguay. Yes, an honor, right?
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yes, exactly. Okay, so that's our first paragraph. Let's move on and look at our next paragraph. A lo So throughout of the history, a rivalry between Brazil and Argentina.
Starting point is 00:17:26 So throughout history, or through the years, so it formed a rivalry formed, so between Brazil and Argentina. So between Brazil and Argentina. That is cataloged by
Starting point is 00:17:43 the media as one of the most intense. This rivalry is a categorized. by the media as one of the most intense. So it's one of the most intense rivalries that exist in football between Brazil and Argentina. Yes, it's something very known in Latin America.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Okay, carry on. These two countries with grand experience footballistic have got to gainers the heart of all Latino America. Right, so these two countries, con grand experience footballistic, with such huge foot.
Starting point is 00:18:19 balling experience and logado ganarse el carazon. They have been able to earn the
Starting point is 00:18:29 heart of the whole of Latin America. So there are various ways that we can translate that but basically
Starting point is 00:18:37 the two countries Brazil and Argentina because of their huge footballing heritage, they've won
Starting point is 00:18:42 the hearts of everyone in Latin America because of football. I have a question for you Fernando.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Tell me. Why is it All Latin America. I thought Latin America would be feminine. Yes. Well, in this case, as we refering to the continent,
Starting point is 00:18:56 you can use the version masculine. Okay, but we could say all as well. Yes, so both would work. We could say all Latin America,
Starting point is 00:19:05 meaning the whole of Latin America or all the continent Latino American. Yes, perfect. Very well. So let's continue with the text.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Very well. For one So on the one side, is Brazil with his five Copas Mundiales and great players like Pele, Ronaldo, entre others. So on the one hand, for one this is a very common expression,
Starting point is 00:19:26 Por un lado, literally by the one side, but it doesn't really sound right like that in English. So on the one hand, and then it's followed by Por el otro lado on the other hand. Again, literally by the other side. Okay, so on the one hand, we've got Brazil with its five World Cups and Grandes
Starting point is 00:19:45 Jugadores and great players like Pele, Ronaldo, among others. Now, just watch this. Grandes Jugadores. If we had said Jugadores,
Starting point is 00:19:56 Grandes, what would we be talking about? That maybe are very altos. So in that case, we'd be talking about very tall players. But Grandes
Starting point is 00:20:06 Juadres, when Grandes comes before the noun here, we're talking about great players like Pele, Ronald, and so on.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And then on the other hand, On the other side, with two Copes Mundial and Grandes Jugger's like Maradona and Messi.
Starting point is 00:20:21 So on the other hand, we've got Argentina with its two World Cups and great players like Maradona and Messi. Yes,
Starting point is 00:20:29 well, just to make that Maradona has even songs about Maradona. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:36 he's much in Argentina. Now, at the end of this little section, there's another
Starting point is 00:20:40 little bit of information added. Yes. that this, sure, we know all right. Can you go back
Starting point is 00:20:48 to the beginning of that sentence? Read the whole thing because I think it makes more sense when we run that straight on. For the other
Starting point is 00:20:53 other side, this Argentina with two Copas and two players like Maradona and Messi.
Starting point is 00:20:59 That this is sure we know that the this is referring back to something that we've
Starting point is 00:21:06 previously mentioned and in this case is Messi. So, that this sure we know
Starting point is 00:21:11 we know us we all know this one. Talking about Messi. Why? Yeah, he is one of the best players
Starting point is 00:21:20 of the actuality. Since, Jaque, again, is one of the best players of the actuality of the current time. So currently one of the best players.
Starting point is 00:21:35 But today there are other countries Latin American that they make difficult competition to these But these days,
Starting point is 00:21:44 today, today, there are other Latin American countries that they're other Latin American countries. This is a little tricky. Which to them, being Brazil and Argentina, make difficult competition. Yes, more rivales
Starting point is 00:22:04 now. Exactly. To these countries. So basically, these other countries make things a little more difficult for Brazil and Argentina. because they've up their level of football. And one of them is particularly important for Fernando. For sure. It's my heart, one of those countries.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Let's see. So, so the equipes of Colombia, Uruguay, Mexico, and Chile are the most best-desakable. Okay, so the teams of Colombia, Uruguay, Mexico, and, of course, Chile are the most standing-out ones. They are the most popular ones. The most well-noted ones. Now there are much consumers of football,
Starting point is 00:22:41 well, well, so it's not so easy for Brazil and Argentina. And?
Starting point is 00:22:47 And the classifications are the world are expected for everyone, yeah
Starting point is 00:22:52 that's whatever can pass. Okay, so the classifications to
Starting point is 00:22:56 the qualification rounds for the World Championships and they are
Starting point is 00:23:02 expected for they are awaited by everyone. It's the most
Starting point is 00:23:09 important that pass in the different countries in that time.
Starting point is 00:23:12 The people are people are doing, people don't to
Starting point is 00:23:15 work in the schools even even they're doing television
Starting point is 00:23:20 being very important. So these classification rounds are very much awaited
Starting point is 00:23:25 they're expected by everyone since whatever can happen.
Starting point is 00:23:32 It's inesper is inesperado. The people count the
Starting point is 00:23:36 classificator very good. Okay let's do our final paragraph.
Starting point is 00:23:41 In fin, the football is a sport that unes a total a whole a whole
Starting point is 00:23:46 continent, and it's so important that she form a part of the culture of many
Starting point is 00:23:51 countries. Okay, so this is quite a long sentence, but it's fairly straightforward.
Starting point is 00:23:55 In fin, to summarize, it's a sport, the football is a sport,
Starting point is 00:23:59 it's a world a place. It's a sport which unites a whole country,
Starting point is 00:24:06 a total a whole continent, a whole continent. And it's so important that it already forms part of the culture of many countries. Yes, well, those countries
Starting point is 00:24:18 make songs special for the football, even, even the camisettes of football are almost the robo official. And this is reflected in the final sentence. Yes, the emotions that are in the parties, go to the stadium, to see a country in the Cupa Mundial.
Starting point is 00:24:37 So the emotions that are experienced, these are emotions which literally live themselves, okay, that's that vivin in the games, going to the stadium, go to the stadium, go to the stadium, go to the cup, watching your country in the World Cup. Are you one of the reasons for which the football is in the heart of those Latinos. These are one of the reasons for which football is in the heart of all
Starting point is 00:25:08 Latins. So every Latin American. Yes, yes, it's our genetic. Very well, I hope that you've enjoyed this text and that you've learned some new vocabulary and seen some of the grammar that we've picked up there and looked at different examples of the words and phrases. We're going to take a break for the moment

Starting point is 00:26:48 also. Well, it's a cultural also. Many times our words are
Starting point is 00:26:52 unied to the culture. So, we're to be trying to and explain about
Starting point is 00:26:57 word by word. Caminar would be the translation direct to
Starting point is 00:27:03 walk. To walk. The action. Now and that's a little different. So what's
Starting point is 00:27:10 the difference between caminar and and and land? For example, if simply
Starting point is 00:27:13 you say and it means to walk. Also, you could say, to walk.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Okay. So, and that is to walk as in to move the movement,

Starting point is 00:27:39 different forms also caminard. So And that is used in different ways.
Starting point is 00:27:45 We can use and that with means of transport and that way we were just talking about going somewhere and going by tree or going by car and so on. However, if we're talking about caminard, you're going with the feet. Always, yeah. Aser senderism is kind of to go hiking. Yep.

Starting point is 00:30:22 So, so you've found for us today I was thinking about if I was going to a football match in somewhere in Latin America, there is undoubtedly some vocabulary that I would need. Give us three words
Starting point is 00:30:35 which you think we should know as Spanish learners watching a football match in Spanish. Well, we're going to start with words that would say you're a very good good player. A very good player.

Starting point is 00:31:00 that we would use for a really good player. Yes. So we could say, is a beastia. Well, this type is a beastia. This type is a beastia
Starting point is 00:31:09 or this type is a crack. It's a crack. Okay, so these are words that we use for a really good player. What about for someone who is not quite so good? Perhaps someone who has just
Starting point is 00:31:17 done a really bad pass or something like that. Oh, that's a paquete. A packet? Tell us more. Well, that is a phrase that's,
Starting point is 00:31:29 paque te trage. That is like, saying, that the trainer says, Paque te trage if you're going to play so.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Okay, so what you're saying there is, this word comes from the freeze paque te trage or para te trage, why did I bring you
Starting point is 00:31:47 if you're going to play like that? In order, you know, what did I bring you for? Para que te trage, for you, to play like that. Okay, did I bring you in order for you to play like that? So, paque te trage, then gives us paquete, so we can call someone a paquete?

Starting point is 00:32:15 Yes, yes, yes, the three. Crack, bestia, and paquete, functioned also for the women Okay, okay, what about
Starting point is 00:32:22 anything else? Is there anything else that you need us to know about Latin American football? Well,
Starting point is 00:32:27 well, no see if you have seen a part of football. Yes, but there
