Starting point is 00:03:55 panel a big on the terrace, and all those of
Starting point is 00:04:00 always we've been also. They've been also her marido, her
Starting point is 00:04:07 and his father, some friends, some some friends of her and, for
Starting point is 00:04:12 the other the other the plant. It's been
Starting point is 00:04:18 great to act to not a really because
Starting point is 00:04:24 has made a message from the and it
Starting point is 00:04:28 has had a the support. As the it
Starting point is 00:04:32 to have been a the scandal and has passed to the
Starting point is 00:04:38 next phase. Tendremes to repeat this bellada when I get
Starting point is 00:04:43 to the final. What past, me has seemed the
Starting point is 00:04:57 perfect for this time for this time. We're go back and we'll
Starting point is 00:05:08 talk through each sentence one by one, as we have been another day for the memory. It's been another day to remember. Recurdo,
Starting point is 00:05:18 also can be, I suppose, like a souvenir, no? A year. Exactly. It has made a time ideal, a day of the springer,
Starting point is 00:05:27 of those in that the sun calienta and the terraces are all the day to be a night.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I'm this is that I love, I'm made a time ideal.
Starting point is 00:05:41 The weather has been perfect. A spring day of spring day, de esos, one of those spring days, in those sun calienta when the sun warms you, and the terraces start fulling up, and the terraces start filling up from midday, until night time.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I want to start in a terracea now, the sun, the truth. Every day is more closer the summer my station
Starting point is 00:06:13 favorite of the year I'm know that this primaver
Starting point is 00:06:17 me is enchant okay so every day is more
Starting point is 00:06:21 near the day is more the summer gets a
Starting point is 00:06:28 little closer so this is one of these interesting sentences where we
Starting point is 00:06:31 see our subject right at the end the end of the
Starting point is 00:06:32 so every day is more more we could
Starting point is 00:06:36 have said the vera no, is more closer. So every day summer gets a little
Starting point is 00:06:41 closer. My station favorite season of the year, although I do know that this
Starting point is 00:06:48 primavera me is enchantando. Although I must admit that I am really enjoying this spring.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Now that's nice because we've got me is a encanando. Encanar is the
Starting point is 00:07:01 verb to enchant literally. And we've got the present progressive form here. It's emphasizing
Starting point is 00:07:06 the fact that the enjoyment of spring is growing all the time. Yes, this, this, this, this, this, this,
Starting point is 00:07:10 this, this is a lot of when the time me can't a little because there's two months of the

Starting point is 00:10:05 children in the schools in those in the classes in the times we're doing it
Starting point is 00:10:12 a night of the Oscars or and the BBC Scocesa and me interviewed
Starting point is 00:10:20 and they what? And what what that was for that it was for that
Starting point is 00:10:25 in the archive of the BBC? No, no that was that was before the I
Starting point is 00:10:29 Player and it was a 2005, 2006. Well, I think yeah, I think
Starting point is 00:10:35 will be a more. I'll looker. Very good. And you? I,
Starting point is 00:10:41 one one of a program of television of those in those that are in those
Starting point is 00:10:49 they're doing a second in the camera. So, that no it's not a matter.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Okay, we're going to see. Concursa with the rest of the other of
Starting point is 00:11:02 the So concursa, from the verb concursar, to compete. So she's competing with the rest of the contestants, or with literally with her companions, to see if she moves on to the next round. Canta as well, she sings like an angel, can't come to the next round. So she sings like an angel, can't as like Los Angeles, and what's more, has much art. So, Tener art is, it means that she's got a lot of charisma, she's got a lot of charm
Starting point is 00:11:38 and so. Flare. Is that a, is that a regional expression? Very, very regional expression. Very, very regional. Yes, the South of Spain. Yeah. They're, they're much art. When you say,
Starting point is 00:11:51 when you have a lot, that's a lot, it means that something is that you do very well, or even when you do something particularly well, when you're quite
Starting point is 00:12:01 when you're a good actor or actress, you're much art. You use many contexts, eh?
Starting point is 00:12:07 Okay, very very good. It's impossible that he will be bad. So it's impossible for
Starting point is 00:12:14 things to go badly for her. So it's impossible that le to her be a subjunctive
Starting point is 00:12:19 mal. But let's talk about that subjunctive Vanga. Before we stop for a little
Starting point is 00:12:23 break. Well, well, we have a trigger as you've been has said and here
Starting point is 00:12:29 we're doing a opinion passing judgment on something and that's precisely what the subjunctive
Starting point is 00:12:38 comes into play here. Normally, we often think of a subjunctive as introducing doubt.
Starting point is 00:12:44 But in this case it's actually not about doubt because it's impossible that it's like
Starting point is 00:12:49 there's no way that things could go badly for because she's she's got lots of art. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:54 She's so Pablo says is impossible Thie Vleke is one of these triggers. It's impossible that, followed by a subjunctive. Okay, let's take a quick break, and we'll be back in just a moment. In each episode of the Scenes from the Coffee Break Cafe podcast,

Starting point is 00:14:16 In the bar, we've organized everything to reunirn us and listen to sing to sing. So in the bar, we've organized everything for reunirnos so that we can get together, we can gather, and listen to her sing. We've prepared a panel grand of television in the terrace and all those of always us have accompanied. So we set up a big screen.
Starting point is 00:14:43 We've prepared a panace a big screen, a big TV screen in the terrace, and all those of the usual crowd, everyone of normal, the regulars, no's, no's accompanied us. They came along. They joined us. They've been also, their marido, her daughter, and his parents,
Starting point is 00:15:06 some friends of his barrio, and, for supposed, all the infermeras of their plant. Okay, so, they've been also, they came, her husband, her daughter, and her parents, some friends of her
Starting point is 00:15:23 family, some friends from her neighborhood, and, of course, all the nurses from her, literally her floor, her ward, came.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And here, maybe it's the way to make a point on a point, because also we could say, yes,
Starting point is 00:15:41 but in Spain is more common, to say, marido and a woman that the husband
Starting point is 00:15:48 or a spouse but both mean it's it has been great
Starting point is 00:15:55 to see her actually much illusion because us has made
Starting point is 00:15:59 a and has appreciated the support okay has
Starting point is 00:16:04 been to act so it was wonderful so to see her

Starting point is 00:16:33 As it was to expect, has canted of scandal and has passed to the next phase. Okay. How was to be expected. Literally as it was to be expected, as expected. A can'tado de escandolo.
Starting point is 00:16:49 So literally she sang scandulously. But basically it's an idea. It means she sang amazingly. She sang incredibly well. And she, I'll explain why I said that in a moment. She went on, or she went through to the next round. A la Siquefase, not frase.
Starting point is 00:17:12 No. But a Siquehente frase was what we used to say. in the intermediate of season three, I think, of level three, we'll pass to the next phrase or or something.
Starting point is 00:17:23 I don't I'm I don't know. The next phrase came out of my brain rather than the next question. Okay, let's continue. We'll have to repeat this bellada when I get to the final. So we'll need to repeat this
Starting point is 00:17:37 evening when she makes it to the final. Yes, we'll need to be to the final. We have to not we could have not with a subjunctive
Starting point is 00:17:47 when he because, as we know when you can go to do with an secondive but when
Starting point is 00:17:52 it's a action future, it's a second sure, okay, so we'll
Starting point is 00:17:57 need to repeat this evening, this whole celebration when she makes it to the final
Starting point is 00:18:01 because in this case we don't know if she will make it to the final. No, we know,
Starting point is 00:18:05 we know, we're we have at the final episode, a celebration not just of
Starting point is 00:18:12 the the fact that their friend has made it to a late stage in this competition, but also a little bit of a celebration of the community around the bar, because it's a community of friends, a community of people who depend on each other, and enjoy spending time in each other's company. Venga, we'll listen one more time and listen out for all of the aspects of the story that we've mentioned. Today has been another day
