COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode

In Chapter 8 of Scenes, our course for intermediate Spanish learners, we return to Isabel’s café, where she witnesses an emotional and unexpected moment between a couple. No obstante, cuando se cierra una puerta, se abre una ventana.


As always, Mark and Pablo will guide us through any challenging grammar and vocabulary in the text, helping to deepen our understanding of the language. This chapter introduces useful verbs like disculparse, abandonar, and quedarse helado/a.
