Fluency Level 1 Audio instruction: English 30 lessons
Sarah and Julian's first six months as a married couple in Seville, from the Three Kings to midsummer: a ministry, night shifts, a float in Holy Week, a book launch, a neighbours' meeting, a night in A and E, and Lucia and Pablo's wedding. Sound like someone who lives in Spanish, with sayings, irony, hedging and the speech of Seville.

Fluency Level 2 Audio instruction: English 30 lessons
From July to New Year's Eve: a move to the top floor, a plumber who always comes tomorrow, a week of rain in Bilbao, Julian in Ortega's chair, a lift, a lottery ticket and a lost letter. Deal with tradespeople, disagree without offending, keep a secret, tell a story well, and finish every saying.

Fluency Level 3 Audio instruction: English 30 lessons
The last chapter of Sarah's story, from the Three Kings to midsummer: the exam at last, a trip back to Mexico with Encarna, a 300-year-old question answered, Holy Week under the float again, and a first day as a midwife in Seville, with a baby she promised to deliver. Persuade, make a toast, read between the lines, translate between two Spanishes, and tell your own story.
