🎢 Roller Coasters & Language FunReady to talk about roller coasters, queues and unforgettable rides in Spanish? This week, we’re stepping into the world of theme parks to help you build your confidence in a fun and practical way. Silvia and I look back on our favourite park experiences. As you listen, notice how we switch between past tenses to describe what happened, what things were like and what we’ve experienced over time. To help you tune your ear, we’ve also included a dictation about the famous theme park in Salou: Port Aventura, so you can practise catching key details and improving your listening accuracy. ¡Súbete a la aventura y sigue aprendiendo con nosotros! 🎠 Real Spanish, Real voices 🎧Punto y coma Ep.3 Past Tenses & Theme Parks ![]() Join our chat as we share our favourite theme park memories and the rides we love most 🎢. It’s a fun, relaxed conversation, but there’s also a clear goal: helping you get comfortable with Spanish past tenses. As you listen, you’ll hear real examples of el perfecto, el imperfecto and el indefindo in action. Pay attention to how each tense is used and see if you can spot why one is chosen over another.
