In their apartment in Guadalajara, Ariadna (A) confronts her boyfriend Camilo (B) about the long apology he sent her after their argument.

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.

  1. A

    Dejaste la aplicación abierta, Camilo. ¿Tu disculpa te la escribió una inteligencia artificial?

    You left the app open, Camilo. Did an AI write your apology for you?

  2. B

    Las ideas eran mías. Nomás le pedí que la redactara para que no sonara mal.

    The ideas were mine. I only asked it to write it up so it wouldn't sound wrong.

  3. A

    No te pedí que fuera perfecta. Quería que me lo dijeras tú.

    I didn't ask for it to be perfect. I wanted you to tell me yourself.

  4. B

    Me daba miedo regarla otra vez y que te enojaras más.

    I was scared of messing up again and making you even angrier.

  5. A

    La neta, eso me dolió más que la pelea.

    Honestly, that hurt more than the fight.

  6. B

    Déjame decírtelo de frente, para que veas que soy sincero: perdóname.

    Let me say it to your face, so you can see I mean it: I'm sorry.
