We're going to do as Guitalistas, it's lesson 76 of Coffee Ray Spanish and in this lesson

we're introducing another aspect of grammar and that is the continuous present tense

using Estad plus a part of the verb called the gerund. Now you've come across this already

but we've just not really explained it until now. Again, María Jose and Andrew feature

in this episode so I hope you enjoy it.

So once again we're going to start by listening to a conversation between María Jose and Andrew.

In this week's conversation they're talking about what they're currently doing.

We'll let you hear the conversation now and I'd like you to name at least two of the things

which Andrew likes about Spain, have a listen.

I want to ask you something.

Yes, I'm writing to Michael, who is an English friend.

He's also studying Spanish, so I'm thinking about what I'm going to write.

I want to say that everything is fine but in a more interesting way.

I want to say to Javagotain and you can also say that you're enjoying the life of Spanish.

And the food and the drinks and the beach and the lake.

Yes, exactly. But you also have to say that you're learning a lot of Spanish

with your Spanish friend, who is very nice, very kind and very handsome.

But what are you saying? You're talking nonsense.

So Andrew has finally made his move with María Jose but you'll have to wait until the next episode

to find out what happens. Let's go back and think about the content of this dialogue.

At the beginning of the conversation, María Jose is reading.

And Andrew interrupts her to ask for some help with the letter that he's writing in Spanish.
