What? I need to go. Well, every telenovela should have a good cliffhanger at the end of an episode. We'll need to wait until episode 15 of Showtime Spanish to find out what happens. Okay, we'll be back in just a moment. As someone who's working on Spanish at an intermediate level, you may also be interested in our Coffee Break Spanish magazine podcast. This is a podcast for intermediate learners, and we focus on texts, which allow you to develop your linguistic knowledge and also your cultural knowledge.

We have presenters from Spain and also various parts of Latin America, so you'll be building your understanding of different accents throughout the series. Find out more about the Coffee Break Spanish magazine at coffeebreakacademy.com. Okay, let's get on with the lesson. Hopefully you've recognised a lot of words and phrases that we've covered in previous weeks in Showtime, Spanish. in this episode of Verano-Spaniel. Did you notice, for example, that when Laura talked about her mastery of the Spanish language,

she said, me defianto, me las apano, a couple of phrases that Jose had used in his intermedio. And how did Teresa describe the state of the house after her son's party? She described it as Echa an disaster. Hopefully you recognized a number of other phrases that we've covered in Showtime Spanish

within this episode of Verano Español. And as usual, there are full notes in this week's lesson guide which is available from the website. Now, with Verano Españo, we do things slightly differently. I have seven questions for you there in Spanish, and you're going to be working with me to produce answers to these questions. And hopefully the questions and answers will help you understand further the story of Berano Español. Let's begin. Pregunta No. Uno

Quin is Teresa. Okay, so that's a fairly straightforward question. Who is Teresa? But Teresa is Ayona and Laura's neighbor. Teresa is the Becina of Ayona and Laura. Or Vesina, depending on where you are.

So she lives in the next door house, in the house next door. And if you go back to the episode where we were talking about my experience in Gerona, when the person on the next table was smoking. I spoke about la Mujer in la Mesa de alado. So in the next door table, it works the same way with houses.

So she lives in the next door house. Vive in la Casa de alado. And finally, add in that she's Estela's mother. Is la Madre de Estela. So the whole answer to that question, Who is Teresa, could be something like, Teresa is the Beena of Aona and Laura

Bive in the house of the side of Estella Number two How Conoce Teresa A Antonio? So we could say that Teresa knew

Antonio when they were children. Let's think about the tense here. Which tense would we use to say Teresa knew Antonio when they were children? Well, it's describing a situation in the past and it's not something that happened suddenly as part of a narrative. So we would use the imperfect,

but the imperfect tense of which verb? There are two verbs in Spanish for to know, Saver and Conozer. Which one would you use here? It's Conocer, because Conoer is to know a person. So Teresa, Connocia, in the imperfect or Connocia, a Antonio, I have to use the personal a there.

Teresa Conoccia a Antonio when they were children. Which tense? The imperfect again. So the imperfect of to be, and which to be is it? Is it ser or estar? It's ser, of course.

So, when they're ninos. Teresa, conocia a Antonio, when they were nineos. Let's practice our tense is a little more using the verb Conocer. How would you say, Teresa got to know Antonio last year?

That would be Teresa Connocio, Antonio, El A year, so Connocio, preterate tense, or connocio. And what about Teresa got to know Antonio this week? Well, the phrase this week should probably trigger in your mind the perfect tense. So this week, this week, this week, this week, Teresa ha Conocido

Antonio or a Conosido Antonio This Semana Teresa has known

Antonio So the perfect tense is very often triggered by the This Semana

this week or this morning or this afternoon or even this month and so on

Let's move on our next question Number 3 What so

So what does the question mean What What happened a noche last night? What passed a noche? Well, Teresa's son had a party.

I would we translate that into Spanish. So Teresa's son had a party becomes the son of Teresa gave a party. El I'm sorry to teresa, dios a fiesta. The preter tense. the is, El Iho de Teresa di a fiesta. Okay, let's continue.

Now he has gone on holiday with his friends. And here I'd like you to use irse de vacations. So, irse is the reflexive form of the verb, ir. So now he has gone off on holiday. The tense should be the perfect tense.

Now see a-hido of vacations with his or now has gone his

and everything is left up in the air, meaning the house is a disaster. We could say

and the casa is made a disaster. I wonder if you can remember the other phrase

that Jose Totas everything has been turned upside down. It had something to

do with animal feet or paws. You could say to patas

up. So we would say now he has gone to go a vacation with his

friends and all this patas ariva and let's add in Teresa is

not happy Teresa not she's do the whole answer so what

so what was a night Teresa's son had a party the his

his his his his now he's gone off on

holiday with his friends and everything's upside down now

she has gone to vacations with his friends and all is a patas Ariva Teresa isn't happy

Teresa not is content The child the child of Teresa did a fiesta now

has gone with his friends and all is up stuff there's not

she's very well then then we're going to the

number four question number four why is about

Avergonzaida, Estela. Avergonsada is one word to say embarrassed. Dar berguenza to embarrass someone. So why is Estella embarrassed? Well, she was embarrassed because her mother wanted her to speak in English. So how would we say Estella is embarrassed because her mother wants her to speak English? So to begin with, Estella, is her mother wants her to speak English.

So there are two subjects here. So it's her mother who's wanting, but it will be her who will be doing the speaking in English. So we need a subjunctive. Her mother wants that she speaks in English. Her mother wants that she speaks in English. Estella is avergonsada. because her mother

wants that she has been so we could add to this Laura explains that her father also does the same Laura explains that her father also does the same

so Laura explains that her father also does the same does the same, does the same, So what's happening in Puerto Azul this weekend? Well, Estella is going to a party. Estela va a una fiesta.

Let's try the next part. She wants Laura to go to. But Laura will have to speak to her mom. So she wants Laura to go to would become she wants that Laura goes to, using the subjunctive. Hele that Laura Vaya coming from I hear Kere that Laura

via too But Laura will have to speak to her mom But Laura Tendra Kuala Kovlar with her mother Remember in Spanish About with her mother

As opposed to Abla to her mother So the whole answer Estela va a Fiesta Hele that Laura Bia too Laura Tendra can

talk with her mother So what idea has Stella To help her Laura with her problem of Dinero? So what idea does Stella have To help Laura With her little financial problem. So

Estella wants Laura to work in the bakers. Again, another double subject here, so more subjunctives. Estela wants that Laura Traveh in La Panaderea. So Estela Kere that Laura work in the panadier.

She wants that Laura works in the bakers. Her boss is looking for someone who can work two or three days per week. So her boss, Su jefe, is looking

we can use the progressive here. Ista buskando for someone. Now, buscar is to look for, but remember here, we're looking for a person, so we need a personal a. Su Jfe is basquezs a buzcando a a person, and this is tricky,

who can work two or three days per week. We've got to ask ourselves, does this person exist? We don't yet know if this person exists. So there's an element of doubt there, therefore we need a subjunctive. So, So,

So, that is looking a person to work two or

three days a day to a time. So, so he's

looking to work to work two a day to a

day. Let's run through that one again. So the question is,

what idea has what idea to help Laura

with the money. Stella wants Laura to work

in the Beakers. Estela wants that Laura, I work

in the panaderia. Her boss is looking for someone who can work two or three days per

week. Her jefe is looking to someone that can work two or

three days a day. And finally, question number seven, what has

Fiona? So, what has Fiona seen seen? What has Fiona seen? Well,

Fiona has seen his boyfriend with another girl. Fiona ha vista al-novio de laura

remember we need a personal in there and of course Laura's boyfriend becomes the boyfriend of Laura so Fiona

ha vista al-novio of Laura with another girl with another girl con otra chica Fiona have visto

al novio of Laura with another chica so that's where Venano Spanish was left

this week and that's where we are going to leave it too. So that's it for another episode of Showtime Spanish and indeed, a second episode of Marano Español. There will be more from Laura and Estela and everyone else in Marano-Spaniel in episode 15 of Showtime.
