Hello and welcome to Inspired Beginners by Notes in Spanish.

This is Marina Diaz and I'm here with Ben Curtis.

Hello Marina, how are you?

I'm very well.

Good and yes, we hope and know that you are inspired beginners.

This is the podcast which is keeping one step ahead of the verb tables and the textbook by bringing you some real Spanish

and every episode a few special words that are going to make you sound like a, well, like a

Spanish speaker, basically, even though you think you're only a beginner.

So we've got some more real audio coming up later on in the podcast.

Marina, what are we going to talk about

today we are going to talk about Madrid and we are going to talk about describing your city

and also a bit of vocabulary to compare two places okay first of all as usual we're going to do a bit

of quick revision from the last podcast,

just so that you can remember all the cool stuff we learned there.

So we're going to start off with a couple of really useful constructions that we learned.

The first one was to talk about things that you're going to do in the future, future plans,

in a very easy way without having to learn that

entire future tense.

Using the present of the verb, ir, and plus the infinitive.

So, for example, it would be, we're going to buy a CD.

Okay, come on, let's hear that again, because your accent is phenomenal. We're going to buy a CD. Okay, come on. Let's hear that again because your accent is phenomenal.

We're going to buy a CD.
