Join Luciana as she introduces her family and tells us about her life in Colombia.

Colombia is a country in South America where the people speak Spanish.

Here are some key phrases Luciana uses to describe where she lives:

Luciana’s family grow lots of fruit in the garden, which is typical in the countryside as there’s plenty of space.

Her breakfast (el desayuno) is made up of all different fruits, as well as eggs (los huevos) and a traditional pan de yuca, which is bread made with cheese and cassava flour.

Can you remember any of the fruits that grow in the garden?

Tabio is a small town outside Bogotá, the capital of Colombia that Luciana likes to visit.

Just like many small towns across Spain and South America, there is normally a church, a central square with restaurants and shops and government buildings.

Luciana likes visiting the craft shops, where traditional Colombian crafts are sold.

She enjoys looking at the crafts to get ideas about what to make at home.

As well as visiting the local towns and creating art, Luciana also likes to practise her dancing.

Traditional Colombian dancing is very popular and part of the culture.

Colombian dancing is normally performed in brightly coloured costumes and involves lots of percussion.

Cumbia is one of Luciana’s favourite dance styles - it brings together African, Spanish and native style instruments and rhythms.

Can you remember some of the key vocabulary about hobbies?
