Celebrando la música

Spanish online reading and listening practice - level C1

In Latin American countries, music is widely celebrated in November. We'd like to highlight how important music is in everyone's lives, both in big celebrations and also in little moments in our daily life.

This reading and listening exercise can help you practise el subjuntivo in different scenarios like como si followed by the pluperfect subjunctive, ya sea with the subjunctive and cuando with the present subjunctive among others.

Text by Inma Sánchez and audio by a Latin American voice professional.
