Your shopping in Costa Rica has proven to be so exhilarating that you just cannot seem to stop! You and the Latin lady friends you met in Costa Rica get up every morning and hit the little Spanish shops at the break of day. Oh, sometimes you just window shop…other times you just people-watch. Your husband just does not understand what you can possibly be getting out of all of this. However, what he doesn’t know is that everyday clerks follow you and your friends through the little Latin stores. They repeatedly tell you in Spanish, “you are looking beautiful today!” Another asks you in Spanish, “what are you searching for today?” And yet another says flirtatiously in Spanish, “I am thinking you need a much smaller size!” You have found a little slice of heaven in the Costa Rican shops…and you are thinking you could stay here forever!

You were shopping today in Buenos Aires with some friends and you could have sworn someone was watching you. You told your friends in Spanish, “We are being watched…” They looked around a moment, and told you in Spanish, “maybe we are seeing things!” You smiled and joked with your friends in Spanish, “we are very tired!” But you and your friends just couldn’t shake the feeling… Moving from store to store, you sensed the eyes of a stranger on you at all times. You reached into a sale rack and grasped matching scarves for you and your friends when suddenly from out of nowhere a Spanish store clerk grabs the scarves from you, holds them against your blouses, and tells you in Spanish, “you all are pleased?!” Where in the world did he come from???

Your college professor convinced you to study abroad for the next two semesters in Spain. He said living in Spain would really help you improve your Spanish language skills. On your first day of school in Spain, your new professor wants everyone to explain in Spanish what they like best about living or traveling in Spain. You sit at the back of the classroom praying the class will end before they get to you because you have no idea how to talk about what you “like” in Spanish. However, that is why you are here! As you sit, you listen to other classmates from around the world explain in Spanish that they “like the bulls in Pamplona” the best. Another girl states in Spanish that she “likes the Spanish restaurants the best.” However, all of the people talking about what they like in Spanish seem to be using different words and different forms of the words. What are you going to say? Did she just call your name? I know! Tell them, “I really like SpanishPod101 where I can learn Spanish in my pajamas!”

Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! There aren’t many situations that are more stressful than meeting your girlfriend’s father for the first time, especially if you’ve already gotten her pregnant. Remember Adolfo? Well, looks like his charm has landed him in a difficult position. He is being responsible though. He is meeting Sr. Fuentes to ask for Marta’s hand in marriage. What he didn’t expect to do was to tell his future suegro (father in law) that his pride and joy is already pregnant. Run boy! Run! As always, Natalia and Carlos give their opinion about this delicate situation. Natalia, for her part, explains to all of us how to form and use the Preterit tense using the verbs tomar, aprender, and decidir. Check out our verb conjugation data bank to see all of the conjugations of the verbs in question!
