Mi príncipe azul

Spanish online reading and listening practice - level B2

Do you see life through rose-tinted spectacles?

This reading and listening exercise can help you practise idioms related to colours. It is associated with the following studylists:

The audio is spoken in an Andalusian accent. You will notice that not all letters are pronounced and some are pronounced differently from a classic Castilian accent. For example, the last letter in a word or the letter d between two vowels is often omitted and you will hear seseo, all of which are hallmarks of the Andalusian accent.

Text by the wonderful Silvia Píriz and audio by the magnificent Inma Sánchez, our resident andaluza!
