Listening and comprehension (Introducing yourself)

A good student of a second language is always a bit nosy. Carefully but shamelessly, one must overhear other people's conversations whenever the opportunity arises, with the excuse of language learning. You have to tune into the everyday language of the people.

When I was living in Italy, I learned the most of my Italian on the bus. I'd eavesdrop any dialogue between two natives in order to catch new expressions to say something or slang vocabulary. Or even better, making the most of crammed Roman buses, I'd read someone else's whatsapps (just remember to use the out-of-jail-card of language learning in front of the judge).

But, what can you do to improve your listening and comprehension in Spanish when you're not living in a Spanish speaking country? Easy-peasy: listening to a lot of natural, fresh and local Spanish on the Internet.

With these series of videos I expect to offer a wide variety of material to listen to natural Spanish. It'll be some of the same sources a Spanish native speaker watches for fun at home (series, news, etc.). All of it edited to the appropiate level. 

Plus, I'll add a PDF with a transcription of the dialogue and I'll comment the most important vocabulary and expressions.

There we go with the first video about how to introduce yourself. We'll listen to some expressions, vocabulary and verbs from real people:
