Here we are with Toni and Sally.
Why here in Madrid? Why do you speak Spanish?
Because I want to advance my Spanish with other people who are the same.
Great. And Toni, your family is Spanish, right?
Yes, my mother is.
Your mother is Spanish?
Yes.
And your father?
English.
So, today is Tuesday. Day 2. How are your classes going?
Very good.
There are new words.
And the grammar. Now I know a little more about the grammar.
Because you normally don't study the grammar, right, Toni?
Not at all. Just by ear, with family, and that's it.
And, for example, when you were a child, did your mother speak to you in Spanish?
In England, no.
No?
No, never.
Only in English, right?
Only in English, yes. But she has friends who come to the house and speak.
And every summer we are here in Madrid.
So, you have the ear already tuned, right?
Yes.
And, Sally, why Spanish?
Because my husband is half Spanish and I want to advance my Spanish.
Yes.
Good.
And we also have an apartment in Nerja for 20 years.
Ah, ok. So, he wants to speak to the Spaniards, not in English.
We thought we would eventually live there, but we didn't.
So, that's when I started to learn Spanish.
Ok.
On and off.
But coming here has refreshed my interest.
Sure, yeah.
Because you've been learning for quite a while, haven't you?
One while.
Off and on now, yeah?
Off and on, yeah. Probably more often now.
More often now, yeah.
But it's inspired me. You know, I've come to the inspiration. I'm getting that.
That's fantastic.
It's better than years ago. I did a course where you went and it's going through the verbs.
I prefer this because you don't really retain it and you don't use it.
But with this, it's intense and it's like you're at school as a child.
And this is how an English child, if they come to live in Spain, this is how he would learn the Spanish.
It's got to be the best way, shouldn't it?
And it's with a lot of people, which is fantastic.
Exactly. Everyone's a fan of Spanish, aren't they?
I think they're a fan of you.
Well, even better. How lovely.
Spagophiles.
Or Gordonyphiles.
Gordonyphiles.
Well, thank you very much for coming.
And we're going to continue. We have four more days, right?
So, thank you very much.
Thank you, Gordon.
