At the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, Mateo (A), a freshman design student, talks to Ramsés (B), an older student, after the coffee shop they designed a logo for has paid them 6,000 pesos.

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.

Dialogue

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

  1. A

    Ya nos pagó la cafetería. ¿Me pasas mis tres mil?

    The coffee shop's paid us. Can you send me my three thousand?

  2. B

    Pues el cliente lo conseguí yo, así que pensaba más bien en un 70-30.

    Well, I'm the one who got the client, so I was thinking more like 70-30.

  3. A

    ¿Setenta? Pero el logo salió de mi boceto; de hecho, tú nomás lo vectorizaste.

    Seventy? But the logo came from my sketch; in fact, all you did was vectorize it.

  4. B

    No te lo niego, pero los cambios que pidió el dueño los hice yo solo.

    I won't deny it, but I made the changes the owner asked for on my own.

  5. A

    Va, 60-40. Pero quiero que al próximo cliente lo atendamos juntos.

    OK, 60-40. But I want us to deal with the next client together.

  6. B

    Trato hecho. Es más, una panadería del Centro quiere que le hagamos sus etiquetas.

    Deal. What's more, a bakery in the city center wants us to do its labels.
