Spanish

An introduction to Spanish, presented by Eoghan Macdonald.

In this programme we hear about the world famous Spanish football teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid. We are also given a taste of the country's other official languages - Basque, Catalan and Galician.

Chatterbox is designed as a starting point to let young children hear what various non-English languages sound like, and to encourage them to speak them. The series demonstrates the languages in an entertaining way and familiarises children with useful words and simple phrases. Across six programmes, there is the opportunity to hear Spanish, Mandarin, French, German, Gaelic and Italian. Festivals, competitions, celebrations and family life are all featured.
