Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the music used in today’s lesson.
Banks lines… those are my favorite… waiting in bank lines… especially they make you take a number and watch the television for it to come up!
Is the word “aora” (not sure of spelling) the word we hear in each lesson before we get the translation of the dialogue? “Aora include la traducion”.
I hope you know what I’m talking about!
Max,
Good ear! We spell it “ahora”, literally, “at this time”, figuratively “now”. The clip that you hear before the translation is “ahora incluiremos la traducción” (now we’ll include the translation).
This word “ahora” can also mean “shortly” (in the future) or “just now” (in the past).
Hope this helps!
Joseph
