Hi everyone! and welcome to “Learn Spanish the Natural Way”. 

I’m a teacher from Spain, who has been always concerned about how we learn languages and determined to find the most efficient and fun approach.

Through this podcast I'd like to share a variety of resources: stories, vocabulary lists, grammar explanations...etc. that I think will be helpful for all the spanish learners out there.

Whether Spanish is your hobby or you need it for your professional career don’t miss this chance to bring your Spanish to the next level!

El Everest, el gigante del Himalaya se encuentra entre Tíbet y Nepal. La capital de esta pequeña nación es la base de partida de los que quieren conquistar la cima por la cara sur. En los valles del Himalaya las tribus de los sherpas plantan sus campamentos, son de raza tibetana. Los sherpas viven de los yaks, que les proporcionan alimento y vestido. Y dado que son gente acostumbrada a grandes alturas son los perfectos porteadores para cualquier expedición a las cumbres. Desde Katmandú partió en 1953 la expedición, mandada por el inglés sir John Hunt, pondría sus pies sobre el Everest por primera vez. Formaba parte de la expedición el gran escalador neozelandés Edmund Hilary que con el sherpa Tensing, serían los protagonistas del asalto final.

La Liebre y la TortugaEn un pueblo de los animales podían hablar vivía una liebre con unas orejas muy grandes.La liebre era muy veloz y, por eso, le gustaba presumir delante de todos los animales de ser la más rápida corriendo. Además, la liebre siempre se reía de la tortuga, de sus patas cortas y de que caminaba muy despacio.Todos los días, al ver pasar a la tortuga, la liebre le decía:-¡Buenos días, señora tortuga! ¿A dónde va usted tan despacio?La tortuga, que era muy buena, no se enfadaba nunca, porque quería llevarse bien con todos sus vecinos.Una mañana la tortuga tuvo una idea y le dijo a la liebre:-¡Buenos días señora liebre!.
