Well, let's begin. Episode No. 15. Al Supermercado. Welcome back to immersive Spanish. As you remember from the last few episodes, I've been unwell from about a food poisoning. Or, as we'd say in Spanish,

intoxication alimentaria. Today, however, I'm full of energy. To say I'm full of energy in Spanish is I'm full of energy Ennergy I'm Yeno De Energy

I've been eating out in restaurants non-stop since staying in the hotel It's hard to peel away from the many taverns in Barcelona serving scrumptious food But I've just moved into an Airbnb And should really go to the supermarket Besides, The quality of produce in Spain is world class.

So, me cares accompany to the supermarket. Me quirees, accompanyer at a supermarket. Understand? Let's break down what I'm asking you. Me means me. Kieres means you want, from the verb Keder. Accompanyar means to accompany.

Me Kieres accompany me? Al is a contraction of A and L. A means to and L means the. To the. Me Kieres accompanyer at the supermarket. You got that. The English translation is, Do you want to accompany me to the supermarket?

You do? Ah, great. Ah, Gigamos. Gagamos We've arrived to the supermarket. To say we've arrived, you can just simply say,

Jigamos. So, I've just come for the basics. First, I need some olive oil. Olive oil in Spanish is Acete of olivea. Acete.

Te oliva. Olive oil is my favorite oil. It's delicious. and very healthy. Did you know that Spain is the largest exporter of olive oil in the world? It's a household essential here in Spain and generally more affordable than back home. Don't mind if I do. In any Spanish kitchen, you are also very likely to find tomatoes,

as they are used in a variety of dishes from salads to sources like Gazpacho. Tomatoes in Spanish are Los Tomates Los Tomates I want five big tomatoes I want five Tomates Grandes

Chiro Cinco Tomates Grandes What next Ah yes How could I forget Garlic

Garlic is another common flavouring in Spanish dishes. It's used in many sources, soups and stews. To say the garlic in Spanish, you say El Ajo.

I'm going to buy much garlic. I'm going to buy a lot of garlic. Why? Because is very delicious and I said, because it's very delicious and healthy. The al-a-o is very delicious and saludable.

The Spanish word salutable, when pronounced with an English accent, sounds similar to saladable. Saladable. Visualize a plate of fresh, healthy salad, and think of it as something you are able to eat for better health. Salad abo. Salad. This mental image can help you remember the word Saludable and its meaning in English. Well,

what else? What else? El pan, of course. Bread is a staple in the Spanish diet and you'll often find a variety of different types ranging from baguettes to rustic loaves. You may remember that bocadillo is my favorite. Me encaante el pan de Spain.

I love the bread from Spain. Me Encaanta El Pan of Spain. Next, I need some onions as they too are a base in many Spanish dishes. Here are the onions.

Here are the onions. Here are the seboias. Here, here are, they are the sebollas. I need to weigh them first before paying. Necessito peser las sebojas.

Necessito peser las seboias. Remember, Necessito means I need. Pezar means to weigh. I only want three onions. So I want three onions. Now I'm going to weigh the onions. Now I'm going to

Pesar the peasant the I'm now I'm going to pass

the pebbias perfect I'm here a million two

I just said I have half a kilo of white onions I'm

here I'm a kilo kilo of some blackas

now we're making some progress I'm deciding whether or not it's a good idea to get some rice. Rice in Spanish is aros. And because it's a masculine word, the definite article used is el. El aros, the rice.

Bueno, aros, it's a key ingredient in paella, and I love paella. I'm not sure I'm willing to try and cook it, though. It seems quite intricate. You know what? I think I'm going to miss out on the arroz. Next, what do I need? Ah yes. No more complimentary soap.

Not in my Airbnb at least. I need to buy Harbon. Soap in Spanish is Harbon. The soap? El harbon. Say with me.

El harbon. Do not make the common mistake of calling soap sopa. La Sopa, although it sounds like soap, means soup. La Sopa. We don't need any of that today. We do need, however, eggs and butter. Do you remember the word for eggs?

Weas. The eggs? Los weos. Los weos. Butter, one of my favorite sounding words in Spanish, is La Mantequia La Mantequia

Say it off to me La Mantequia Finally, I need something to soothe my sweet tooth Do I want chocolate known in Spanish as El Chocolate?

Nah, I want something a bit frutier How about some jam to go with my bread? Jam, in Spanish is called Mermelada. The jam is La Mermelada.

A good way of remembering this is to think of marmalade in English, which is jam made from oranges. One more time. La Mermelada. And that should be it for my shopping essentials. Let's head to checkout.

As I unload everything from my trolley onto the checkout, let's solidify everything think we've just learned. How would you say, I'm full of energy? I'm full of energy. I'm full of energy.

Ah well I Can't pay with targeta for favor Perfecto Much thanks Yes. Right. Now to head for the exit.

Oh, look. There's a wallet on the floor. Hmm. I think we've all lost a wallet at some point or another. It's a horrible feeling, to be honest. Let me see if I can find any information. Ah, look. Here we have the driver's license of a man named... What is that? Signor Juan Gomez. No address, however. Ah, look, actually, he has another card that does have an address.

And, you know, it's in the Gothic quarter. That's where my Airbnb is. I can go over and drop that off. There's no sweat off my back. Right, join me in the next episode as I find Signor Juan Gomez and hand him over his wallet. I do love a good adventure. Asta el proximo episode.
