A life: Frida Kahlo
A short radio biography of the Mexican painter: illness, an accident, her self-portraits and Diego Rivera.
Biographies use the preterite for events (nació, se casó, murió) and the imperfect for background (tenía, quería, estaba). Listen first for the dates and the order of events, then for the details.
