The Spanish verb faltar is rarely mentioned in the classroom but is extremely common in spoken Spanish. It has a number of uses and can sometimes be confusing, but this podcast will teach you everything you need to know so you can make the verb faltar a part of your everyday Spanish vocabulary and start sounding like a native speaker.
If you enjoyed the podcast and want to improve your Spanish even more, you can download the audio for the entire series as well as the transcripts and the accompanying authentic native audio.
Season 1 covers a total of 19 high frequency Spanish verbs and teaches you everything your Spanish teacher didn’t about how native Spanish speakers use them in every conversation.
It includes the verbs Dar, Tener, Hacer, Ver, Faltar, Poner, Pasar, Conocer, Bajar, Llevar, Baber, Dejar, Quedar, Quedarse, Ser, Estar and Volver, Ir and Alcanzar.
If you don’t need the written transcripts and the native audio to help you improve your pronunciation and listening skills, or you want to listen to more episodes first, you can still listen to additional episodes for free.
