About this episode

Welcome to Season 4 of the Coffee Break Spanish Magazine! We're joining our hosts, Mark, Anabel, Marina and Sebastián, as they present cultural topics and grammar study in an enjoyable way, allowing you to build your vocabulary and increase your range of expression. In this first episode of the series, Mark and Anabel discuss a text about the life and work of the famous Spanish film director, Pedro Almodóvar, and explain the interesting grammar and vocabulary points along the way. Mark and Marina round off the episode with a discussion about our cherry on top: no tener pelos en la lengua and hablar a calzón quitado.


In each episode of this 10-lesson season for intermediate learners you can build your vocabulary, increase your understanding of grammar and learn to use the Spanish language in a more natural way. This series is aimed at intermediate Spanish learners.


There will be a total of 10 episodes of Season 2 of the Coffee Break Spanish Magazine. If you'd like to benefit from lesson notes, transcripts, vocabulary. lists and exercises, you can access the premium version of the Magazine here.
