As always, we're going to repassar the episode with some phrases, with some questions and responses.

I'll go to give the question and, we're together, we're going to say the response. I'm going in English, and you

do you do you in Spanish. Then, number one, at the beginning of episode,

why not is a content, Antonio? So at the beginning of the episode, why isn't

Antonio happy? Okay, so let's try translating an answer. I'll give you in English, and we'll

work out together in Spanish. So let's begin by saying, Laura's father doesn't think that Angel has behaved well. So a couple of things to think about here.

First of all, the verb to behave in Spanish is like saying to comport oneself, comportarse. So to behave well, comportarse bien. Laura's father becomes the father of Laura, the Padre de laura doesn't think so we're using the verb it's a radical changing verb so it becomes pienza

el padre de laura no pienza he doesn't think that angel that angel now this is the tricky bit has behaved well and there's something else we need to think about here because we're saying that he doesn't

think that and if you remember when you think or believe in the negative, then it's followed by the subjunctive. So I don't think that he is coming. No creo que bea. Or I don't think using pensar, no pienso that venga.

So here, Laudas father doesn't think that Angel has behaved well. So he has behaved well would normally be Se has comportado well in the perfect tense. And what we need to do is change the a into the subjunctive because it's the perfect subjunctive here we're looking for, which of course means the subjunctive of the auxiliary verb. So a in the subjunctive becomes aya.

So the father of Laura doesn't think that angel has behaved well. El Padre de Laura, no pienza that angel se has comportado bien. Let's move on. Laura doesn't want her father to make a scene. To make a scene is one of these idioms that Jose has been teaching us the past few weeks, so you may remember that it's montar a numero, literally to mount a little number.

So here, Laura does not want that her father mounts a little number, mounts being in the subjunctive because it's want that. someone else does something. Laura no care that his father

monte a numberito. Laura no want to a numberito. But he is very angry. The word that we've used

for angry is enfadado. But he, stressing that, he is very enfadado. But he is very enfedado.

So far as to the whole thing, thing. Laura's father doesn't think that Angel has behaved well. The father of Laura no thinks that Angel has been. Laura doesn't want her father to make a sin, but he is very angry. Laura no wants that his father monte a numberito, but he is very enfadled.

Okay. Number two, what does tell Laura to Ramon and a Stella? So we're talking here about when Laura arrived at the bakery, what does she tell, Ramon and Estella? Well, she tells them that her father is in a bad mood. Laura tells them that her father is in a bad mood this morning. So Laura tells them, Laura les says that her father, that her father, that his father is in a bad mood this morning.

Now again, let's use an idiom for this, to be in a bad mood, to be of a bad milk, perhaps, is that de una mala leech this morning. Laura says that her father is that de una mala leech this morning and that he has given her into trouble for nothing, perhaps, according to Laura. and that he has given her into trouble for nothing. Again, let's use an idiom here. And we're going to use the phrase, etchar a alien, a bronca.

So, and that he has to her etchado a bronca, and that le has etchado a bronca for nothing, for nothing. So, as a reason, of nothing or through nothing, poor, has to be poor. So Laura tells them that her father is in a bad mid this morning and that he has given her

into trouble for nothing. Laura says that her father is to a malayche this morning and that he has Echado a bronca, for nothing. Okay, let's move on. Question number three. How's seiente this morning? So, how is Angel feeling?

Well, I would suggest that Angel is feeling embarrassed. And he's embarrassed about having got drunk at the party. So, to be embarrassed is be embarrassed is

ser avergonzado or to feel embarrassed sentirse avergonzado and you're avergonzado de something. So he is feeling embarrassed about

having got drunk so Angel seiente avergonzada de It's a little tricky because we need to use a there in the infinitive form, but because emboracharse to get drunk is reflexive, then we put the se of emboracharsse onto aver, and then use the

passport of emborachar. So that becomes of to have got drunk, aver se abhorachado, So let's just try that again. Angel, se shiente avargonzado de averse emborachado in the fiesta. So it's avergonzado de plus an infinitive.

And if it were just the present tense, then it would be se siente avergonzado de ser whatever. But here we're using it in the past, so it becomes the perfect,

and we need to use the infinitive of the auxiliary verb. a-ver, whatever, and in this case because it's emboracharse, then we need to put the se of emboracharse onto the a-ber. Angel's seientee to have-a-vergonzada to have been barragedo in the fiesta. I hope that makes sense. He says to Laura that he will go and apologize to Ayona.

So he will go to excuse himself with Ayona, literally. So he says to Laura, le dice a Laura, that he will go to excuse himself with Ayona. Ke ira, future tense, a disculparse, the infinitive of the reflexive verb, con Ayona,

you'd disculparse with Alien in Spanish. So let's put this whole thing together. Angel feels embarrassed about having got drunk at the party. Angel he's a very avergonz

of having emborached in the festival. He tells Laura that he will go and

excuse himself with Iona. He'll go and see sorry to Ayuna. He'll say to

Aura number four. Al to get a Spain for why he has

to speak in Spanish Fiona? So why does Fiona have to speak in Spanish on arriving in Spain.

Well, it's important that Fiona speaks in Spanish because she is in Spain to practice it. So it's important that should be ringing alarm bells in your head. It's important that Fiona, plus subjunctive, speaks in Spanish, is important that Fiona ably in Spanish, because she is in Spain because she is in Spain.

In order to practice it to practice it. Para practicarl. It's important that Fiona in Spanish because is in Spain for her practice

her. She already speaks quite well but she wants to improve. So already she speaks quite well. Yeah, she wants to improve. But she wants

to improve. That would become she wants to improve herself or better herself. But she wants to make sure herself. So let's do the whole thing again. It's important that Fiona speaks in Spanish because she is in Spain to practice it. She already speaks quite well, but she wants to improve. It's important that Fiona ably in Spanish, because she's in Spain to practice it. Yeah, he's a lot better.

but want to make to number five Laura, Estella and Ramon are to

work but what will do so Laura Estella and Ramon are going

to be at work tomorrow but what's Fiona going to do? Well

Fiona will sun bathe in the garden and will read her book

so practice of some future tenses here to sunbat

in this case would be Tomar el Sol, literally to take the sun. So Fiona Tomara el Sol in el jardin. And she will read her book. And leerra su libra. It doesn't bother her that the others are working. Now, to translate to bother, you can use the verb molestar. It's not as strong as it would be in English. It doesn't bother.

her, no le molesta that the others are working. Now, again, she's giving an opinion here, so you're probably thinking already, subjunctive. No le molesta, that los otros travagen. Travagen being the subjunctive of Travajar. So the whole thing, Fiona will sunbathe in the garden and will read her book. it doesn't bother her that the others are working. Fiona tomara el sol in the garden and leera his book. No le molesta that those others work. And last question. Number six.

Laura no seiente bien. What's past when he comes to home? So as we know, Laura's not feeling too good. What happens when she gets back home? Well, Laura realizes that Angel is with Fiona. To realize is Darsee Cuenta. So in this case, Laura

Se da that Gaea conchina. Fiona is helping Angel with his English. So Fiona to him is helping to Angel.

Fiona Le is helping to Angel. So as usual, we've got a double indirect object there. Fiona Le ista helping

a angel with his English. However, perhaps Laura doesn't understand the situation well. So,

however, Sine embargo, perhaps Laura doesn't understand well the situation. Maybe Laura no entienda

well the situation. Entienta, subjunctive, of course, because it's following maybe. Sin embargo,

maybe Laura not understand as to the whole thing. Laura realizes that Angel is with Fiona. Fiona is

helping Angel with his English. However, perhaps Laura doesn't understand well the situation. Laura

is a question of Angel is with Fiona. Fiona he is helping to Angel

with his English. Sin However, , maybe Laura not the situation. Well,

to know what is the Laura and Ciona, and with Angel, and also with the

Ramon, then you have to listen the episode number eight of the

year but you know, you know, because the time we will

to go to our year to the country his Hispano

of Latin America. So, it's all for today. Much thanks

and after the next.
