Patricia, if you want to see the transcript of this video clip - in Spanish or English, just go to the homepage of spanishlanguagesite.com make sure you are loged in, then click on the Spanish speakers videos link and you will see a list of 30 video clips. Only the colours and born again videos have transcripts added so far, but we will do the rest as soon as we can.

Not at all Patricia. We are delighted to have Begoña as one of our Spanish speakers. Why not use these free videos that I put in this section to do just that! Practise answering her questions in a comment box. After a time I will add the correct answers so everyone that joins in can see them.

In the subscribed members area of our site, these videos 'pop up' from the main page when you click the one you wish to view from a list, and next to them is the Spanish transcript where you can click a button to view, or choose to view the English translation, or choose no text at all - depending on your level of understanding. I have 30 videos prepared like this already and am just waiting for the transcripts/translations to be done by Matthew then I will add them to our membersarea on the main site.

Like you, I think these will really help with listening and understanding the spanish language as is spoken in Spain. This one is quite a simple one for the first few lessons - but we will have much more challenging ones giving tricky subjunctive examples in other conversations, so watch out!

it played this time when I watched it. Very clear video. She spoke beautifully. I liked the repition method. I would have liked to have heard answers to her questions or seen the answers written on the bottom of the video. Hope you don't mind my suggestion.
