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

    Disculpe, ¿me enseña la Piedra del Sol del aparador?

    Excuse me, could you show me the Sun Stone in the window?

  2. B

    Claro. Espero que ya haya visto la original en la Sala Mexica.

    Of course. I hope you've already seen the real one in the Mexica Hall.

  3. A

    Sí, y me impresionó tanto que quiero la grande.

    Yes, and it impressed me so much that I want the big one.

  4. B

    Nomás le advierto que pesa como quince kilos. ¿Viaja en avión?

    Just a word of warning: it weighs about fifteen kilos. Are you flying?

  5. A

    Sí, a Hermosillo. Si fuera más chica, me la llevaría en la maleta.

    Yes, to Hermosillo. If it were smaller, I'd take it in my suitcase.

  6. B

    ¿Le envuelvo la mediana? Y si no cabe, saque ropa: esa se compra donde sea.

    Want me to wrap the medium one for you? And if it doesn't fit, take some clothes out: you can buy those anywhere.
