Summary
In this week’s Coffee Break Spanish Espresso Mark talks about a notice he photographed in a supermarket parking lot in Mexico. The language featured on the notice gives us an opportunity to look at the future tense, the word durante and some interesting vocabulary. In the Subjunctive of the Week segment, Fernanda tackles the tricky word aunque and when it is – and is not – used with the subjunctive. There’s more aunque practice in the Quotation of the Week section which looks at a quotation by author Aldous Huxley.
