Preocupada

Preocupada

Author: Small Town Spanish Teacher March 21, 2022 Duration: 14:20

This sixth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is inspired by requests from my listeners. Paloma is a near perfect child. She just has one problem that threatens to take over her life - Paloma is a worrier. She worries about EVERYTHING from school to shopping to what she wears. Paloma reaches out to her mom, who realizes that she needs more help than she can give. So, Paloma meets with a therapist. At first, she is worried, but after time she begins to develop confidence and her worrying subsides.

 

This story is told in the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include “preocupada” (worried), “se preocupa por” (worries about), “no te preocupes” (don’t worry), “siente” (feels), “a gusto” (comfortable/at ease), and “terapeuta” (therapist). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.
