EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Planning a trip to Spain or Latin America? In this episode you’ll learn how to buy metro tickets, ask for directions, and understand train times in Spanish – essential skills for navigating public transport with confidence.

Through a short, practical dialogue between a metro passenger and a ticket office clerk, you’ll learn real-life Spanish phrases that locals use every day. Whether you're heading to Madrid, Barcelona, or any other Spanish-speaking city, these Spanish travel phrases will help you speak naturally and be understood.

In this lesson, you’ll:

  • Listen to a full Spanish conversation with English translations
  • Practise Spanish pronunciation with sentence-by-sentence repetition
  • Learn key travel vocabulary like “billete” (ticket), “plano del metro” (metro map), “hacer transbordo” (to change trains), and more
  • Do speaking drills and role plays to reinforce your fluency
  • Try shadowing exercises to master natural Spanish rhythm and intonation
  • Take a mini quiz to test your Spanish vocabulary
  • Challenge yourself to translate and say the entire conversation in Spanish

This episode is perfect for beginners and intermediate learners who want to build confidence speaking Spanish in real travel situations. You'll hear clear, slow Spanish and get plenty of chances to repeat out loud and practise speaking.

The vocabulary and grammar you’ll learn in this episode include:

  • Asking for metro tickets and maps
  • Understanding prices and train times
  • Using travel-related verbs like “coger” and “salir”
  • Forming polite questions and requests in Spanish

No need to take notes or use a transcript – I’ll guide you every step of the way.
