Lesson 29 – Show Time Spanish
In this week’s episode, Alba and Mark are en la cocina, making a Spanish tortilla. The episode is slightly different from our usual episodes as the audio was recorded live in the kitchen rather than in the studio. There’s no “Act II” this week as the conversation follows the entire process of making the tortilla.
Have a look at the photos of our culinary exploits below, and why not try making a tortilla yourself and send us your photos to network [at] radiolingua.com.

Madre mia, 13 paginas de notas, Alba habla muy rapidamente, creo que sea la velocidad normal de una espanola. Hay muchas palabras aprender, por cierto. Bueno, te echaremos de menos, Alba. Espero que todo pase bien con tu futuro.

I believe I got this subjunctive wrong, but Im not sure. Should be “Creo que *es* la velocidad..” when used with positive belief?

Muy impresionante, apenas escuchar esto episodio, me traté de cocinarme tambien una tortilla, aunque no tenemos el aceite de oliva, he usado un aceite ordinario, cebollas de la clase que se puede comprar aqui en Filipinas (los de tiene color purpura)… tal vez voy a comprar una botella de aceite de oliva para que yo aproveche el mismo sabor de lo que uds han cocinado mismo!

@Adam, tienes razón – mejor decir “creo que es la velocidad…”
@Jim, y ¿qué tal tu tortilla? ¿Nos vas a mandar una foto? Mándala a network@radiolingua.com y trataremos de añadir las fotos de los oyentes a la página.

I had great fun listening to the cookery lesson. I’m not sure which bit I enjoyed more – the Spanish or the cookery.

It was great fun listening to you both and I will certainly try Alba’s way of cooking a tortilla. Mark, you mentioned “pocher” as being similar to our verb to poach. In English we also talk of “sweating” onions, that is cooking them over a low heat until they are soft and transluscent. Would this fit your definition?

Escuché su podcast sobre cocinando la tortilla española con cuidado y despues de escuchar la hize. Estaba riquisimo. Estoy muy orgulloso. A mi familia, les gusta la tortilla mucho. Fuimos a España en julio y comimos tortilla española allí. Me olvidé tomal una foto de mi tortilla pero fue hermosa. Voy a echar de menos a Alba. Ojala que todo pase estupendo en España. ¡Me encanta Showtime Spanish! Voy a mandar fotos de la proxima tortilla.

Esta debe ser una programa regular. Mark no está ocupado. Puedes hacer otra programma, español en la cocina.

Thank you so much, this was very interesting. I was actually born in Spain (I’m not telling you what year though!) but was moved around various parts of europe and finally settled in England when I was 7. I dont remember much of the few years I was in spain, but the delicious smell of spanish food always seems to get me going or something. It’s weird how I dont remember anything except the smells,isn’t it! I actually found a whole internet site dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I really should to share with your readers. Anyway, thank you again. I’ll get my son to add your feed to my rss thing…

You completed various nice points there. I did a search on the theme and found nearly all persons will have the same opinion with your blog.
