Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Ever just look up at the moon and wonder why it’s so important to speak Spanish? Join Alan and Lisy as they explore this very deep topic. Today’s Newbie Lesson conversation takes place in a remote town in the Peruvian Andes, where Glicerio and Fiorela talk about the night sky. Here, we’re going to learn about giving orders in Spanish. We’ll see that giving orders is not the same thing as ordering someone around or being bossy. This grammar topic is extremely useful and can be applied to many different kinds of situations. Our regional series is also here to put in their two cents. Check out Costa Rican 19, Iberian 19, and Peruvian 19 to hear what our other hosts have to say!

Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the music used in today’s lesson.
Has anyone been to the Andes before? There are so many amazing places there. It’s hard to imagine the scale of them, at least in comparison to the mountains of the US.

Yes, I’ve been in the Andes, and flown over them several times as well. It’s true, they are very different in character from the mountains in the US. That’s because they are a very new mountain range, geologically speaking. You’ve got all that very high plateau land, deeply incised by streams and rivers into narrow, deep gorges. We have some of that in California, too, but nowhere to the scale of the Andes!
Also, the fact that the portions of the range in Peru & Ecuador, near the equator, are climatically different and the vegetation is totally different. I was amazed to see so much eucalyptus even at pretty high altitudes!
It’s really an amazing cordillera. I don’t recall seeing much in the way of start when I was there in January, I think it was cloudy most of the time.

Karenn,
Thanks for the info. I had no idea that the Andes are relatively new. That makes you look at them in another way all together.
