This is an A1 episode, for beginners, and today we are playing a listening quiz.Host: You will hear a short Spanish sentence. Then I give you three English meanings: A, B and C. Think of your answer while you hear the sentence a second time.Host: Here is how the pauses work. At the end, I will ask you to repeat some sentences. After the tone, say it out loud. Let's listen to our first voice.A: Hola, ¿qué tal? = Hi, how are you?Host: That means hi, how are you? Great. Let's begin with food. Food and DrinkHost: Question one. Listen.A: Tengo hambre. = I'm hungry.Host: Does it mean A, I'm tired? B, I'm hungry? Or C, I'm hot? Listen again and decide.A: Tengo hambre. = I'm hungry.Host: The answer is B, I'm hungry. In Spanish you literally say I have hunger, with the verb tener, just like I have twenty years for your age.Host: Question two. Listen.A: Quiero un café con leche. = I want a coffee with milk.Host: Does it mean A, I want a coffee with milk? B, I want a tea with sugar? Or C, I like coffee a lot?

B, how much is the bread? Or C, what bread do you want? Once more.A: ¿Cuánto cuesta el pan? = How much is the bread?Host: The answer is B, how much is the bread? The word cuánto asks about quantity or price, and it carries an accent in a question. Family and MeHost: Nice work. Now let's talk about family. Question five.A: Mi hermana tiene veinte años. = My sister is twenty years old.Host: Does it mean A, my sister has twenty cats? B, my mother is twenty years old? Or C, my sister is twenty years old?

B, my mother is very tall? Or C, my mother is very tired? Listen again.A: Mi madre es muy simpática. = My mother is very nice.Host: The answer is A.
