Author: natalia sanchez vazquez June 5, 2024 Duration: 16:17
During this episode you will learn to conjugate verbs ending with -er and -ir in Imperfecto, the tense we are recently studying. We will also be hearing the following text and translating it together.

"Había una vez un anciano llamado Roberto que vivía en una casa vieja cerca del mar. Roberto siempre leía libros de aventuras. Cada tarde, se sentaba en su sofá favorito, mirando al mar.
Su nieto, Pedro visitaba su casa todos los fines de semana. Pedro siempre traía cuadernos y lápices de colores porque le encantaba dibujar. Los dos pasaban horas juntos; mientras Roberto contaba historias de sus viajes, Pedro dibujaba los paisajes y los barcos que su abuelo describía. 
A veces, cuando el clima estaba bien, caminaban hasta la playa. Roberto enseñaba a Pedro a reconocer las distintas aves marinas y las conchas que encontraban en la arena. Pedro escuchaba con atención, el siempre aprendía mucho con su abuelo. Los días pasaban lentamente, llenos de historias y aprendizajes, creando recuerdos que quedaban en su memoria para siempre".
