This post is going to be slightly different as this time I am not going to speak about English grammar but I am going to speak about me and my hobby. It might not surprise you, but in my free time I try to learn another foreign language. I try to learn Spanish and in this post I would like to show you how. So sit tight.

First I listen to the following recording and I repeat the Spanish sentences in the gaps. It is pretty difficult but as it is quite quick I do not mind. I repeat this two or three times. The great advantage of the recording is that I can understand the meaning and at the same time I have to produce it actively. And to repeat the text my brain needs to analyse this and then divide the text into chunks which I am able to repeat. Do not worry if you are not able to repeat everything the first time. You will get better soon.
I learn Spanish 1 – recording After listening to the text three times, I realise that there are places which I cannot analyse and I have a look at the text. You can find the transcript here:

Don’t forget to click the CC icon on the video to see the text at the same time as she pronounces it.

There are many exercises to practise the language taught at http://www.spanishlistening.org/content/015-adelina-spain-compras.html but it is not really helpful for me.
That is why I created my own vocabulary worksheet. Check it out here:

I learn Spanish 1 key

And now it is time to return to the first recording and repeat the text at least once a day for 3 days. And now I can say something in Spanish.
