3.4: Professions in Spanish

This 9th episode covers how to ask what time a train, bus, or airplane arrives at its destination, and how to understand the reply that you will receive. In Spanish, ask "when does x arrive?", where "x" is the vehicle, you just have to say "¿a qué hora llega "x"?

This 8th episode covers how to ask what time a train, bus, or airplane departs from the terminal, and how to understand the reply that you will receive. In Spanish you ask "when does x leave for y?", where "x" is the vehicle (bus, plane, train) and "y" is the location you want to go to.

Now that you know how to say and understand the hours, let’s focus a bit on the minutes. In Spanish, you can say the minutes after the hours, just like in English. This m-episode covers how to do that, and how to say the information in a sentence.

Now let’s combine the numbers you learned in the previous episode so you can tell the time. When telling time in Spanish all you need to do is start the sentence with “Son las” and add the number, unless it is 1:00, where you would say '"Es La."

This m-episode brings together all of the information you have learned in the previous four episodes of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast, and helps you learn how to memorize it and use the skills in daily conversation while in a Latin American country.
