Practice Spanish for Beach Volleyball

About this episode

Someone on the beach shouts ¡afuera! and everyone looks at you because you're closest to the line — and you have no idea what just happened. Kata, our Chilean guide, fixes that. She walks us through a real Saturday morning pick-up game on Playa de Viña del Mar: the court (el vóley playa, la cancha), how every rally starts (el saque, la recepción), setting and attacking (el voleo, el remate), stopping the attack (el bloqueo), the line calls that always cause arguments (¡afuera! / ¡adentro!), and how scoring works (el punto, el partido). Every scene plays out in Spanish and English side by side — so the next time someone asks ¿jugamos un partido? on a Latin American beach, you know exactly where to stand and what to say.

The full illustrated comic, study guide, transcript, audio & vocab are in the pack.
