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.

Bueno, ¿por dónde empezamos? Yo me muero por ver las esculturas de Rodin del último piso.
OK, where do we start? I'm dying to see the Rodin sculptures on the top floor.

Pues yo vine por la pintura mexicana. Si empezamos arriba, llego a los cuadros ya cansado.
Well, I came for the Mexican painting. If we start at the top, I'll be tired by the time I get to the paintings.

Lo malo de que sea gratis es que al rato el último piso se llena de excursiones.
The trouble with it being free is that before long the top floor fills up with tour groups.

Entonces, si subimos ya, ¿me prometen que bajamos por la rampa viendo los cuadros con calma?
So if we go up now, do you promise we'll come down the ramp and take our time with the paintings?

Prometido. Lo importante es ver El pensador antes de que se llene; lo demás, a tu ritmo.
Promise. What matters is seeing The Thinker before it gets packed; the rest, at your own pace.

Pues ándenle, que ya se está haciendo fila en el elevador.
Come on, then, there's already a line forming at the elevator.

Está bien, pero si me ven tomándome una selfie con El pensador, hagan como que no me conocen.
All right, but if you see me taking a selfie with The Thinker, pretend you don't know me.
