In Colonia Juárez, Mexico City, Esmeralda (A), Ethan (B) and Bárbara (C), three friends who run a vegan taco stand, talk about an influencer who ate there for free in exchange for a video.
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.

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