Vocab Lesson 9
Part 1: Dictation
Play the recordings and write down the sentences that you hear. You can play the recording multiple times. Once you have finished, check your answers by opening the box below the recording.
Part 2: Repetition for Pronunciation
Play the recording from part 1 again and repeat what you hear out loud. You can do this with the Dictation Key open or closed. You will need to pause the recording to have time to say each phrase before the next one starts.
Do each phrase twice!
Part 3: Listening for Information
As you listen to the following recording, listen for the answers to the following questions. Don’t worry about the parts you don’t understand. Instead, focus on what you do understand, and try to answer the questions in Spanish.
- ¿Cuántas personas están en la familila del señor Auchello?
- ¿Qué come todos los días para mantener la salud?
- ¿Cuántas horas duerme durante la noche?
- Él dice que come porotos, y después, él dice otro nombre para esa comida. ¿Qué es?
- ¿El señor Auchello prefiere medicinas naturales o las píldoras? (evitar = to avoid)
- ¿El señor Auchello va al doctor cuando tiene una fiebre?
- En el pasado, los hijos del señor Auchello necesitaron pomadas. ¿Cuándo?
Part 4: Follow along
Use the arrow buttons to open the Spanish and English scripts. Use the following steps:
- Read through the script with English and Spanish side by side, so that you understand what you heard.
- Close the English script, and listen again to the recording from part 3, following along with the Spanish version.
- Close the Spanish script, and listen once more with no script. Do your best to distinguish the words and phrases you are hearing. Focus on understanding the main ideas, not every detail.
