Day 28: No Internet Before Her Meeting
In a shared apartment in Guadalajara, Jimena (A) is about to join a video call for work when the internet goes down; her roommate Ivanna (B) and their landlord, Don Everardo (C), who lives downstairs, try to help ('don' is a respectful title used with a first name).
How to study this lesson 3 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- 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.
- 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.
Dialogue
Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.
