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

    Don Leandro, 驴es cierto que compr贸 el terreno bald铆o de atr谩s?

    Don Leandro, is it true you bought the empty lot out back?

  2. B

    As铆 es. Voy a construir una cancha para los ni帽os.

    That's right. I'm going to build a field for the children.

  3. A

    隆Qu茅 buen gesto! No sab铆a que le gustaba tanto el futbol.

    What a kind gesture! I didn't know you liked soccer so much.

  4. B

    Ni tanto. La raz贸n por la cual lo compr茅 es mi parabrisas: ya van dos.

    Not really. The reason I bought it is my windshield: they've broken two already.

  5. A

    H铆jole, con raz贸n mi hijo anda tan calladito. 驴Le ayudo antes de que salgan de vacaciones?

    Oh boy, that explains why my son's been so quiet. Want me to help you before they go on vacation?

  6. B

    Se lo agradezco. Y que su hijo pinte las porter铆as, para que sepa d贸nde apuntar.

    Thank you. And your son can paint the goalposts, so he knows where to aim.
