Lesson 80 of Coffee Break Spanish marks the end of an era! This is the final lesson of the show before we go back and start with lesson one again. In this week's lesson Andrew and Maria-Jose are spending their last few days together before Andrew returns to England and through their conversation we'll cover the subjunctive in more detail. Listeners should be aware that Radio Lingua Spanish lessons will continue with our new programme Show Time Spanish beginning on 18 October 2008.

In this week’s episode, Andrew is asking for directions to the town hall where his friend Michael has a meeting. We will also be looking some more at the subjunctive.

In Lesson 78, we listen to another conversation between Andrew and Maria-Jose. Then we will finally be talking about the ‘subjunctive’ and explaining how it is formed and some of the situations in which it is used.

In episode 77, we listen to another conversation between Andrew and Maria-Jose. This week they are talking about the Canary Islands.

In this week’s episode, we look at how to form the present continuous tense by listening to some examples in a dialogue between Maria-Jose and Andrew.

In Lesson 69, we discuss hiring a car in a Spanish-speaking country and look at some questions and phrases that may arise as part of this transaction. Although we hope you never find yourself in this situation, you'll also know exactly what to say if your car breaks down!

In this week's episode, we continue our 'travel' theme, this time considering traveling by taxi. We help you construct phrases by using material you already know and introducing new vocabulary and contexts.

In this week’s lesson, we look at the topic of travel using public transport by introducing some new vocabulary and by using some vocabulary and constructions that we have already come across. In this way you’ll learn how to construct phrases and questions “on-the-spot” which will better equip you to handle real situations in a Spanish-speaking country.

In lesson 66 we'll be finishing off our discussions of the perfect tense and making sure that all our listeners understand exactly when to use the perfect and preterite.

Lesson 53 introduces a past tense: in this lesson we'll learn to use the preterite tense to talk about events which happened in the past.
