 * Barcelona**

Barcelona is a large city in Southeastern Spain. It is the capital city of the region of Spain known as Catalonia, or Catalunya. The people in this part of Spain speak a distinct language that is different from Spanish. Their name for their region is Catalunya, and their capital city, Barcelone. The speakers in this audio file speak with a Spanish accent. I have included this file here so that you can practice listening to speakers of English who do not speak it as a first language. As there are millions of people in the US who speak English as a second language, you need to be able to communicate with them as well as with native speakers of English.

Read through these questions first. They will help you understand what the audio file is about. Then listen to the audio once to see what you understand. Listen a second time for details, making notes as you listen. On a separate piece of paper, write answers (using complete sentences please) to the following questions and bring to the next class. Remember: you are practising your listening skills. Use the audio as a source of information as much as you can; use the internet only as a last resort! At the end of the exercise, answer question A.
