Taking a Taxi — Spanish Conversation for Beginners (A1)

Telling time in Spanish on a real taxi ride: what time is it in Spanish, how to take a taxi in Spanish, and everyday Spanish time expressions. Listen while you move, or sit down and follow every word. This episode is a real conversation in a taxi, played twice: once at the start when you understand almost none of it, and once at the end when you understand all of it. In between, Sofía and Mateo take it apart — 29 items, with English only where you need it, plus 45 that come back from earlier episodes. Listen hands-free, or follow along on screen — the audio carries the full lesson either way. This episode teaches neutral Latin American Spanish (Mexico-leaning). We use "ustedes", not "vosotros".
