Have you ever left the front door open? Did anything… or anyone… come inside? In Episode Eight of the Garbanzo Spanish Podcast, Haven discovers that leaving the front door open can have serious consequences. Garbanzo storyteller Estela shares the story with controlled language in Spanish so that it is easy for beginners to understand; especially beginning Spanish learners that have been listening to all of the episodes of our podcast! This episode most closely aligns with Somos 1 Unit 3.
