Alto, niños, ¿qué es ese sonido?

O como aprendí a callarme y escuchar

¡Hola compañeros humanos!

Today's Spanish activities are centered around reading and comprehension, emphasizing listening to native speakers.

This will teach me two things: One, to get used to the rhythm and pronunciation of spoken Spanish, and two, to get the gist of what is being said without trying to understand every word.

First, I spent some time with Duolingo Stories, where I listened to a story and repeated everything that was said, so I could get used to the pronunciation.

Then, I read children's stories in the Global Digital Library. What's great about that is the stories are similar to those I heard as a child, so it's easy to get an idea of what's being said.
