Lis grew up in El Carmen, in the south of Bogotá, in the 90s. The city was more dangerous back then, but her neighbourhood was like an oasis of peace, where everyone knew each other. She tells Rob about cycling and football in the park after school, and her mum's tamales and buñuelos. Rob then explains ser and ir in the imperfect, two of the only three irregular verbs in this tense.

Quick test: You know voy a llamarte, 'I'm going to call you'. How would you say 'I was going to call you'?
