Here are three examples of people introducing themselves and giving basic personal information. What are their names? How old are they? Where are they from? What do they do?

An important part of talking about routines is using expressions of time and frequency. In this conversation a woman from Colombia is asking a man from Spain about how often he does certain things.

We’re going to listen to a conversation between two women talking about the differences they find between the countries they come from. One woman comes from Spain and the other from Colombia. They use the verbs soler and acostumbrar to talk about regular activities.

We’re going to listen to two women talking about their families. The first woman is from Spain and the second woman is from Colombia.
