Do you like wine? A few weeks ago we started with this topic "catas" - winetasting. In this week's podcast we develop it a bit more and use a lot more vocabulary. We also get to taste a marvellous Spanish wine! Isabel tells us all about it and Cristina, Belén, Maria Eugenia, myself and Fernando, our new colleague who joins us via Skype from London, give her our humble opinions! Initially the Skype connection has a lot of interference but gets much better later on. The team exchanges views on the wine before we start talking about airport experiences, a tricky but funny topic!

We start by translating "uno, alguno, ninguno....varios, algunos etc" into English. Well, we do our best to! Do you like riddles?

Did you know that Hollywood doesn't portray the "thumbs up" signal in Gladiator sequences? Cristina and Elena tell us about funny translations of signs and advertising.

She tells us what inspired her to play music and how she decided one day to start her amazing project. Cristina tells us about a "homograph". A word with more than one meaning or translation.

In this special programme Sara Moliné from Murray School, talks about the amazing summer courses in Edinburgh. You can find Sara on Facebook or www.murrayschool.es. Sara talks about courses for children from 8 to 13 and from 14 to 17 years old. Excellent fun for kids to learn or improve their English. Afterwards I interview Daniel Zaragoza, a young author who tells us about his second novel. When Daniel was in India writing "Secretos en el techo del mundo" he slept in the wild without a tent or sleeping bag and was awakened by a leopard at 4 o'clock in the morning hovering around him......find out what happened in this exciting and incredible insight to Daniel's lifechanging experience.

Finally I get round to talking about the verbs say and tell! Belén speaks about the 12 Edinburgh Fetsivals, which was news to me! Cristina gives us examples of English words which are almost impossible to translate into Spanish. If you listen closely, you'll hear her confess that English is one of the richest languages for vocabulary! Enjoy the podcast.

In this recording of programme 3, 2015, we talk about PlayPhrase.me, which is a site where you can listen and read phrases in English. The phrases are shown in films and series such as Friends. They also appear on the screen for you to follow. Belén gives us examples of phrasal verbs used in songs, so that's really worth paying attention to plus I give some info on the late great Freddie Mercury. And to finish, a little about Robert Burns, a Scottish poet and how we celebrate his birth by eating Haggis and dancing to the sound of the bagpipes!

In this show we talk about gendres, equality, the Darwin awards (continuing from last time), sporting events and the sounds of animals in words! (An English dog will "say" woof-woof and a rooster will "say" cock-a-doodle-doo for instance!) Listen and repeat with us and enjoy speaking aloud!

We're back after Christmas and New Year! Did you have a good time? What did you get up to? That's the question for Cristina. We talk a little about the festive period, Victor talks about the old times - chiefs, no less, Cristine speaks about the Darwin awards - in particular about MIT and we also play a game of Who sang...? which is where I try to remember some songs from my 70s records collection.

In this programme we drink some Cava and eat truffles, biscuits, sweets etc. We talk about some Christmas carols, Christmas food, traditions at Christmas and events of 2014, like the new Spanish King and some current affairs. Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year! We'll be back on 8th January, 2015!

"A proper copper coffe pot" Can you say this tongue twister? Trying saying it slowly then quickly! We try some tongue twisters, Victor talks about an article from Runner's World magazine. Belén tells us how we can learn English through music and Cristina, our queen of Espanglish, talks about a book called American Horror (don't listen to this on your own, lol!) Please let us know what you think of our programme or if you just want to leave a comment, that'd be fine by me!

In this programme you can repeat some words with Maria Eugenia in order to practise your pronunciation. There are gaps for you to repeat and see if you can get it right. Belén tells us about how crazy the English language is, for example she tells us that there's no egg in Eggplant, no apple in pineapple etc. Cristina talks about an English dish called Toad in the Hole, which is made with pastry and sausages. Download this onto your mobile or any other device to help with your English level. Enjoy it!

Firstly, Belén translates names and/or surnames of famous people and creates the Spanglish versions. Then Cristina really does translate a text. Both of these produces some curiosities and laughs. We also play a game of "Odd one out" where we say 4 words but one of them is different from the others for a reason - could be that three are adjectives and one is a noun, for example. Do you want to play the game? Then just press play or download the podcast. Good luck!

In this programme we look at 5 expressions/phrasal verbs, one of which concerns a wolf! To wolf something down! Come on, wolf your breakfast down or we´ll miss the bus! Victor talks about historic sport. Belén gives us some words which rhyme and Cristina translates a poem in her Espanglish! Lots of repetition and lots of laughs, of course. Enjoy it!

Chitty Chatty is a radio programme where some Spanish people and I, Bob Murray, sit down in a studio and practise English. That sounds okay but our main task is to help other people beat the fear of speaking in English, understand English better and, more importantly, have a laugh! In this podcast Victor talks about graffiti. Belén gives us examples of songs with days of the week in the title. Cristina translates humour (not easy!). And Maria Eugenia is put to the test with the vocabulary and pronunciation that I give her! Please let us know what you think of our podcast and if you would like us to help you with any English problems you would like to solve. Enjoy the show!

In this week's packed programme Victor gives us expressions and phrasal verbs, Cristina talks about a translation about the dangerous topic of Politics, Belén gets a surprise when she realises she has to introduce the programme, we play "Guess the Song" from lyrics, Maria Eugenia gets stressed with the microphones and Belén catches an annoying fly!

The queen of Espanglish gives us some surprises with "false friends" - words which may look like a good translation butin fact are different from what we may think, including the word fucking! Belén finishes off from where she left off last week, debating about changes in attitude at classic music concerts. Victor reads a bit from an old magazine about the yearly marathon in New York and to finish, I blast Maria Eugenia with loads of words to repeat. Let's see if you can repeat them as well as she does!

After Maria Eugenia gives the introduction, Cristina gives us a few examples of "false friends", words which look or seem similar to Spanish but don't have the same meaning.
