About this episode

Join the Coffee Break Spanish Magazine team and improve your Spanish listening skills. In this edition:


  • Alba asks her interviewees, ¿cuál es el mejor regalo que has recibido jamás?;
  • Laura teaches us the phrases de tal palo, tal astillo, meaning “like father, like son” or “a chip off the old block”;
  • and JP and Nahyeli answer listener Heather’s question about the difference between ahora and ahorita, which is particularly important in Mexican Spanish when there is a significant difference between these two words!
