Day 155: An AI Summary of the Rainforest

At home in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Silvia (A) reads the school summary on the rainforest that her son Samuel (B) has just finished.

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

    Samuel, este resumen no parece tuyo. A ver, ¿qué es “alta biodiversidad”?

    Samuel, this summary doesn't sound like you. OK, so what's “high biodiversity”?

  2. B

    Es que se lo pedí a una app de la computadora. Le escribí “selva Lacandona” y lo hizo solita.

    Well, I asked an app on the computer. I typed “Lacandon Jungle” and it did it all by itself.

  3. A

    Me alegra que la tecnología te dé curiosidad, de veras. Pero la maestra quiere que lo escribas tú.

    I'm glad you're curious about technology, really. But your teacher wants you to write it yourself.

  4. B

    Pero dice lo mismo que yo iba a poner, solo que más bonito.

    But it says what I was going to put, just nicer.

  5. A

    Entonces escrĂ­belo con tus palabras, aunque quede menos bonito. Me molesta que hagas trampa, no que preguntes.

    Then write it in your own words, even if it comes out less nice. What bothers me is you cheating, not you asking.

  6. B

    Bueno, pero ¿me ayudas con lo de la biodiversidad? Porque sigo sin saber qué es.

    OK, but will you help me with the biodiversity part? Because I still don't know what it is.
