196. Mi vida-Parte 1: La infancia

In this episode of ¡Cuéntame!, Marta takes Spanish learners on a heartfelt and humorous journey through her childhood in the coastal city of Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico. From being a top student to getting into a bit of mischief—like passing notes, saying bad words, and even bringing cigarettes to school—Marta shares it all with honesty and charm. Despite the discipline issues, her childhood was filled with joy, outdoor adventures, and love.

This episode is specially designed for Spanish learners. First, you'll hear a slow version of the story with English support and brief translations to help you understand. Right after, you'll hear the same story at a natural pace with no translations, so you can challenge your listening skills. And at the very end, stick around for a five-sentence translation quiz to review and reinforce what you learned!
