Hola! Welcome back. This is lesson 9 of my Spanish Podcasts for Beginners. In this lesson we're going to hear twice the second part of the dialog at a holiday apartment. Then we'll go through it line by line in both Spanish and English. Then, like always, we'll hear all the new words and phrases with their English translation. In the grammar section we'll learn how to use the word 'de' to indicate possession. Finally, we'll learn numbers sixty to sixty-nine. As in every podcast, we'll do exercises and drills to practise speaking and understanding.
