Difficulty: difficulty - Intermediate Intermediate

Spain

Two teachers at El Aula Azul (The Blue Classroom) language school converse about their coworker, Anastasia's extremely unlucky day! You might note that the Spanish spoken in Spain tends to employ the present perfect tense [i.e. "I have eaten"] more frequently than English-speakers or Spanish-speakers from other regions would to describe occurrences that took place in the recent past, most typically on that day.
