Hola!We have made it to episode 30! This episode brings together our knowledge from the last 4 lessons and earlier episodes too.We have a quiz as always, this time focussing on vocabulary, and then we have a dialogue using lots of language from the last 4 lessons especially, but we also recap a lot of the basics learnt in the first few episodes - let's hope you haven't forgotten them!It's a long one, and we debated splitting it and using some of it in the bonus episode, however we want to make as much free content for you as possible.
