In this week’s episode, Mark and Alba discuss some useful techniques for learning languages and share their ideas and advice with listeners. In the intermedio Alba talks about the northern Spanish city of Bilbao, and José introduces a construction which involves lo + adjective. Grammar points covered include the construction siempre que and the use of the subjunctive after para que. Please note that lesson 19 of Season 3 was originally known as lesson 319 of Coffee Break Spanish. We have renumbered the lessons of each season as lessons 1-40 to make things more simple for our listeners.

Aprender idiomas no es facil, especialmente cuando una persona tiene 6o anos :), esta jubilada, pero le gusta mucho una nueva experiencia, la nueva posibilidad de ser ensenada, contenta y feliz. No entiendo a la gente que piensa que la vida es finada (o finita?) despues “being retired state”. “One is never too old to learn.”
And another one that I like:” Every accomplishment starts with a decision to try!”
Gracias por tantas cosas utiles y bonitas!
