Listening

The BBC offers some of the best resources for students of any language. To help build your Spanish listening comprehension skills, it has a library of recorded material on a range of interesting issues. Many of them are accompanied by reading texts, comprehension and vocabulary exercises, and games. Follow the steps below:

  • Visit the BBC Languages Spanish site. This will take you to a page containing a series of thematically organised links
  • Try clicking on the “Spain and Europe” link
  • Now, click on “Espana: lavar platos por ley”, followed by the “listen” link. You will hear a report that discusses a new law that seeks to promote a fairer division of labour between men and women in the home
  • Now, try some of the other pages and links. Note that not all of them contain recorded material.
