Advanced Level 1 Audio instruction: English 30 lessons
Sarah and Julian start a year in Seville: a landlady who knows everyone, a hospital where midwives are called matronas, a 300-year-old letter in the Archive, tapas at ten at night and a proposal on New Year's Eve. Learn the Spanish of Spain: vosotros, vale, the words that change, and the accent of Seville.

Spring in Seville: the Three Kings, a strike that nearly keeps Sarah from Valeria's baby, a hospital scare for Encarna, the choice of where to marry, Holy Week and the April Fair. Learn to warn, weigh up and set conditions, describe with every sense, and talk like a Sevillian, filler words and all.

Advanced Level 3 Audio instruction: English 30 lessons
From the first heat of a Seville summer to a wedding in Teotitlan: a book deal, Rosario's last shift, a student of Sarah's own, Encarna's first flight, and the Sevillians in Oaxaca, where it's their turn not to understand the Spanish. Learn to report, wish, set conditions, disagree politely, and make a speech, and a promise.
