I have drastically changed the way I recorded episodes in this podcast after having received Lázaro's feedback. He says that he likes to play these on repeat and so the less introductions and explanations, the better for him. I hope the same holds true for you as well.
Here you will find the conjugation of the verb "Almak" which is translated mainly as to take, get, and buy.
Enjoy and see you on my next podcast :)
