Learn Spanish: Conversation Practice - What are you thinking about?

Practice your Spanish listening and comprehension skills with the story I wrote and will perform for you. This class will help you improve your Spanish comprehension by increasing your Spanish vocabulary, listening to real-life conversations, and using current Spanish. This story takes on the verb "pensar" and many of its forms (pensamiento, pensativo, piénsalo, pensando, etc.) This practice will accustom your ear to Spanish so you understand more every day. Listen, understand, and learn with this comprehensive oral Spanish practice. Do you want to improve your oral Spanish skills? Then watch my video and learn from it.

• Spanish Listening & Co...
I transcribed the story below in case you are curious about the sentences
¿Por qué estás tan pensativo(a)?
He estado pensando mucho.
¿En qué piensas?
Pienso en mi pensión.
No pienses tanto en eso. Bueno está bien que pienses en eso, pero no te acabes tanto la vida.
¿Has pensado en el futuro?
Yo vivo el presente. Por ejemplo, tengo pensado ir a Malasia. Mi amiga está ahí y dice que es muy bonito y que todo es barato y que la naturaleza es increíble. Si voy, te invito.
Ni pensarlo. No me interesa ir a Malasia. Prefiero ir a Oaxaca.
MMM bueno pues mejor piénsalo y me avisas.
Sí. Tienes razón. Pensándolo bien me gustaría conocer un país diferente. ¿Pero sabes una cosa? No tengo dinero. Si tuviera, lo haría sin pensar.

    I'm Irish. I can read Spanish at either higher intermediate, or lower advanced levels (depending on the circumstances). My ability to understand spoken Spanish is limited. It is not just the sheer speed at which Spanish is spoken. I also find that most Spanish speakers allow their voices/articulation to vary, making some words/phrases they say too quiet, to trail off or become truncated. I'll keep trying to improve at aural comprehension, but I honestly feel discouraged the majority of the time. Basically, a fluent Spanish speaker needs to think of a person from another country who is learning Spanish as a child. We speak clearly and more slowly to children.

    Awesome! As a native English speaker, we use the word 'thoughtful' a bit different. To us, it means that a person is considerate in their thoughts about another person and not themselves. As an example, when a husband gives his wife a gift of something that she needs or could use. He was considerate in thinking about what she needs instead of giving her something that wasn't useful. He was being thoughtful. That's the meaning of the expression "It's the thought that counts."
