Two more audios to practice the past…
This weekend we’ve been working hard on the TP Podcast, where we have included Tags, and made a lovely copy of all the episodes so you can download it! (it’s 2 pages; the pods for Elementary are on page 2), and also on the Useful language section on the TP site, where we have created a printer-friendly copy of the transcripts! If you find any mistakes or if you have questions or comments, you’re welcome to post them here or on the podcast!
Here is the link to the Useful Language webpage for Elementary: http://www.talkingpeople.net/tp/usefullanguage/elementary/elementary.html
Remember you have the complete list over here (plus the link above now, too), on a Page called ***EPISODES for Básico at the Talking People Podcast***
Last but not least… /laast bat not liist/
Happy Daddy’s day!
