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.

    ¿Y de Torreón a Saltillo? Me imagino que no hay vuelo.

  3. A

    En autobús. Si la junta se alarga, tome el de la noche.

    By bus. If the meeting runs late, take the night one.

  4. B

    Pero llegaría desvelado con el cliente de Saltillo, ¿no?

    But I'd turn up at the Saltillo client with no sleep, wouldn't I?

    Tranquilo, el cliente con quien va a desayunar es buena onda.

    Relax, the client you're having breakfast with is easy-going.

  6. B

    Perfecto. Si me retraso, le hablo cuando salga de la junta.

    Perfect. If I'm held up, I'll call you when I'm out of the meeting.
