About this episode

Welcome to episode 8 of the Coffee Break Spanish Magazine. Join the team and improve your Spanish! In this edition:


  • Alba asks her interviewees, si te tocara la lotería, ¿qué harías con el dinero? Like last week you’ll hear a range of accents featured in the answers, with a sprinkling of imperfect subjunctives and conditionals for good measure!;
  • Laura teaches us the phrases tirar la casa por la ventana, meaning “to splash out” or to spend a lot of money;
  • and JP and Nahyeli look at the Mexican word chale and how it is used.


This season of Coffee Break Spanish Magazine features a total of 10 lessons, all of which are included in the podcast feed. If you’d like to benefit from video versions, lesson notes and bonus audio materials, you can access the premium version of the Coffee Break Spanish Magazine in the Coffee Break Academy.
