About this listen

In this episode, again taken from her book “Capital Letters”, Gwyneth tells about a visit from British friends while she was living in Madrid and the problems encountered when ordering a simple coffee or a cup of tea.

Sprinkled with lighthearted linguistic insights, the pieces in “Capital Letters” touch on stories in the news and current affairs at the time of writing. They are written mainly in English, but with a scattering of Spanish that allows the reader to assimilate new vocabulary and phrases from context. The essays have been collected into a book, which is available to buy from Gwyneth’s website either alone https://gwynethbox.com/b/capital-letters-essays-of-expat-life, or as part of the “Expat essays” bundle of books: https://gwynethbox.com/b/a0M5x
