Episode 8. Nuestro Barrio Nuevo. It's an absolute pleasure to welcome you back to immersive Spanish. It's our first full day in Madrid, and Anna and I are walking through our new neighborhood, Chambari. She arrived just yesterday from Colombia, and after so many weeks apart, it feels amazing to be side by side again. What a legria! Today, taking a relaxed stroll with Anna by my side, as she discovers the sights, sounds, and smells of her new barrio. As we go along, you'll hopefully recognize a lot of the places that we covered

when I first explored the neighborhood myself. Think of it as a recap. Look, Anna, that is the kiosko del que te abelé. Here we can buy revistas, water, even chigles. And that's what is that is a panadier? Yes, and wele a pan

Recien Echre. We're going to go over a barred this time. No, I see the

hour. As we walk, we're spotting all the essentials. A pharmacy, a fruteria, and, that's already

eyeing it. She's a historian. So you can imagine how excited she is. This is the park that I saw a year.

Tien many arboles, bankos, and even an area of games. Remember how banko,

not only means bank, but a bench. And to remember that, we imagine ourselves banking our physical energy

when we sit on it. What beautiful, we can come to learn here or do a picnic.

Yes, and look those gardens, perfect for the Mananas de domino. Just a quick recap,

Viajeros. How would you say, The park? If you said El Parque, then you are correct. How about the bench? El Banco. And what would be the garden?

The garden, in Spanish, is El Hardin. And what about the playground? Think about the playground as an area of games. And that's because the playground is, the area of games. Guys, you know what? I have to say that in Madrid, green spaces are everywhere.

And where there are green spaces, where there are parks, there's community. And I just love it. And that edificio grande of ladrillo? That Anna is the center cultural. As in cinema, classes of history,

flamenco, Seguro that you will encantar. And just at final of the street, there's a church

an old also we're a office of a office

and a public a perfect Here's another test to see how

much you've remembered from episode 6 how would you

say the post office the office of Correos

La Oficina De Correos And how about the cultural center El Centro Cultural Centro Cultural

And how about the church La Iglesia La Iglesia To remember La Iglesia Just think about how Enrique Iglesias

Everyone's favorite Latin pop star, regularly attends La Eglacea. Everything is nearby, from cultural centers to schools, churches and libraries. Chambari is full of character, Anna's already falling in love of it. We're going to sitern us in this terrace? A coffee with leech?

Yes, and maybe a toast with tomato. Perfect. Let me run you through some. Spanish vocab for cafe culture. The outdoor terrace is La Terraza. La Terraza.

A coffee of milk is, and I'm sure you already know this one, a cafe con leche. My favorite. An cafe con leche to order is

to PEDIR PEDIR I'll PEDIR or I'll pedir a pere

a toastada It's like to request PEDir to order And finally To chat Is to Charlar

Chat Chat Chat This is the true rhythm of the Spanish capital. People watching, charlando, soaking in the day. I think this city is already starting to feel like home, and I mean that. So, before we wrap this up, because I just want to take this all in, how would you say, where is the fruit shop?

where is ta la fruteria that was a bit quick let me go again where ista la fruteria and in case you're wondering

why it's esta and not es well it's a little bit strange I know but in Spanish when we're talking about locations we use the verb

ester because the location will vary depending on where we are in relation to it And that's temporary. Anyhow. How would you say, let's sit on that bench.

We're to sit on that bench. We are going. Ah, too. Sentarnos. Sit ourselves. En on. That. Bank.

Bench. Altogether. Let's sendernos in that's a wrap for today. We walked through our new neighborhood, Chambari, discovered the essentials, and picked up some Spanish for everyday places you'll find in any city. So tomorrow, I think, Anna and I will go to stock up the apartment with food and supplies. So join us as we explore the world of Spanish grocery shopping.

Until the next
