About this episode

In lesson 33, it’s destination Mexico as Mark is joined by Juan from México D.F. Juan introduces Mark to the geography and some of the tourist attractions of Mexico. Language concepts included the use of soler, the difference between amable and amigable, and a reminder of the fact that 'another' is otro/otra in Spanish – and not un otro / una otra… Please note that lesson 33 of Season 3 was originally known as lesson 333 of Coffee Break Spanish.
