Day 13: Planting Trees in La Primavera

At home in Guadalajara, Cinthia (A) asks her son Elián (B) to come to a tree-planting day in the Bosque de la Primavera, the forest just outside the city.

How to study this lesson 3 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Point at (or tap) a Spanish word to see what it means.
  3. Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Spanish, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.
