Inglés Easy Listening is a bilingual podcast for Spanish and English learners.

Welcome to "Inglés Easy Listening." Today, we'll follow María and John as they spend a day running errands. After a successful dinner party with friends, they decide to visit the hardware store to pick up supplies for gardening and house lights. Later, they head to the greenhouse to purchase new flowers for their yard and garden. Join us as we listen in on their everyday conversations as a married couple navigating their weekend tasks.


Bienvenidos a "Inglés Easy Listening." Hoy seguiremos a María y John mientras pasan un día haciendo diligencias. Después de una exitosa cena con amigos, deciden visitar la ferretería para comprar suministros para la jardinería y luces para la casa. Luego, se dirigen al vivero para comprar flores nuevas para su patio y jardín. Únanse a nosotros para escuchar sus conversaciones cotidianas como una pareja casada que navega por sus tareas del fin de semana.


María and John have arrived at the hardware store and are walking towards the entrance. As they approach the front doors, John says:


I'll grab a cart.


Perfecto. Primero necesitamos las luces para el pasillo. ¿Te acuerdas cuáles eran?


Yes, I have the list right here. We need the LED ones. They should be in aisle 5.


Ah, sí, aquí están. ¿Cuántas necesitamos?


Let's get six. That should cover all the fixtures we talked about.


De acuerdo, seis. Ahora, ¿vamos a la sección de jardinería?


Yes, let's go. We need new gloves, soil, and some plant food.


Mira, aquí están los guantes. ¿Te gustan estos?


Those look good. They seem sturdy enough. Let's grab a pair each.


Perfecto. ¿La tierra y el alimento para plantas?


The soil is right over there. Let's get two bags. And the plant food is just down this aisle.


Aquí está. ¿Algo más que necesitemos de aquí?


No, I think that’s everything from the hardware store. Let’s check out and head to the greenhouse.


María and John pay for their things at the cash register and drive to the next destination, the greenhouse nearby. They walk in together holding hands.


This place is beautiful. Look at all these flowers.


Sí, es hermoso. Quiero comprar algunas margaritas y lavanda para el jardín.


Margaritas? Oh, those! Daisies! Daisies and lavender... great choices! Let's also get some petunias for the front yard. They’ll add a nice splash of color.


Sí amor, margaritas y lavanda, y me encantan las petunias... suena bien. Vamos a buscar unas que se vean bien.


John and María find the daisies and lavender and add them to their cart. They then continue looking around the greenhouse until they come across the petunias.


These look perfect. What do you think?


Sí, están preciosas. También necesitamos unas macetas nuevas, ¿verdad?


Right. Let's pick a couple of those too. What about these terracotta ones?


Sí, me gustan. Vamos a llevar dos grandes y dos medianas.


Sounds good. Anything else we need?


Creo que eso es todo. Hemos comprado todo lo que necesitamos para el jardín.


Alright, let's head to the checkout. This is going to make our yard look amazing.


Sí, estoy emocionada por empezar a plantar todo. Gracias por acompañarme hoy, amor.


Of course, babe. It’s always fun doing these things together.


John and María have finished their shopping at the greenhouse and head home to start planting.

Hosted by Ik Ben Rachelle, Inglés Easy Listening is a language podcast built around the idea of absorbing English through engaging, real-world content. Each episode is structured to guide you from familiar ground into new linguistic territory. We often begin by discussing current events, first in Spanish and then breaking down the key ideas and vocabulary in clear English. This approach provides context and builds confidence. Another regular feature involves crafted bilingual dialogues between Spanish and English speakers, followed by a close look at the word choices and grammar used, turning a simple conversation into a practical lesson. Finally, we dive deep into a compelling topic-like sports, culture, or technology-presenting it almost entirely in accessible English to immerse you in the flow of the language. The entire podcast is designed for learning by listening, creating a natural bridge between comprehension and conversation. You'll hear the language in action, gain insights into its structure, and gradually train your ear, all while exploring subjects that are genuinely interesting. It’s a relaxed, multifaceted way to build your skills.
