CBS 2.22 | Expressing purpose using para

Author: Coffee Break Languages October 4, 2010 Duration: 15:57

In lesson 22 we’re continuing to discuss por and para: this time we’re focusing on the use of para when expressing purpose, e.g. "this gift is for you” – este regalo es para ti. We’ll also learn the verb regalar, and talk briefly about the personal a. Please note that lesson 22 of Season 2 was originally known as lesson 222 of Coffee Break Spanish. We have renumbered the lessons of each season as lessons 1-40 to make things more simple for our listeners.

The journey to learning a new language often feels like a monumental task, but Coffee Break Spanish reimagines the process as something you can genuinely fit into your daily routine. Created by Coffee Break Languages, this podcast structures its lessons around the idea that meaningful progress happens in short, consistent bursts-the kind you might enjoy with a cup of coffee in hand. You won't find overwhelming grammar lectures here. Instead, each episode is a focused, friendly conversation that zeroes in on practical language you can actually use, building your confidence piece by piece. The show is carefully designed to grow with you, starting from the very first words and phrases for absolute beginners and gradually introducing more complex concepts as you move through the seasons.
