Hello and welcome back to another episode of inspired beginners from notes in Spanish, the Spanish

podcast, which is hopefully helping you to zoom ahead in your Spanish studies. Of course,

you are going to have to delve into a few textbooks maybe or get on our forum and ask lots

of questions about grammar and so on.

But the idea is that we're going to help you learn some real Spanish as it's really spoken out on the street

so that when you actually get to speak to someone in Spanish,

you sound like a natural.

I'm Ben Curtis, as usual.

I'm here with Marina Diaz.

How are you today, Marina?

I'm very well, thank you.

Good. Very well, but a bit hot, maybe. A bit, yeah, just a bit. Yeah, because it's summer here in

Madrid, late July, and that's what we're going to be talking about today. Now, before we start,

as usual, we're going to have a quick review of some of the vocabulary from the last

podcast. Just a quick note to say that every time I ask Marina for a key phrase or a key piece

of vocabulary in Spanish in today's podcast, we'll be leaving a significant gap afterwards,

which is for you to repeat what Marina's just said.

That's a really great way of helping you to keep it fixed in your brain.

So just in case you're wondering, that's what the big pauses are for.

So I wonder if any of you listening can remember how to say to go on a trip.

Imagine it's the weekend and you go on a trip.

How would you say that?
