Day 96: A Channel When You Turn Thirteen

At home in Toluca, Felipe (A), a ten-year-old boy who makes Minecraft videos, asks his father, Ernesto (B), for help with something.

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.

  1. A

    Papá, ya edité diez videos de Minecraft. ¿Me ayudas a abrir mi canal?

    Dad, I've edited ten Minecraft videos now. Will you help me start my channel?

  2. B

    Cuando cumplas trece, te ayudo. Antes, YouTube ni te deja tener cuenta.

    When you turn thirteen, I'll help you. Before that, YouTube won't even let you have an account.

  3. A

    ¿Hasta los trece? Para entonces ya nadie va a jugar Minecraft.

    Not till thirteen? By then nobody will be playing Minecraft anymore.

  4. B

    No exageres ni te pongas triste. ¿Y si los subo a mi cuenta, solo para la familia?

    Don't exaggerate, and don't get upset. What if I upload them to my account, just for the family?

  5. A

    Sale, pero yo escojo cuáles. Y cuando cumpla trece, abrimos el mío ese mismo día.

    OK, but I choose which ones. And when I turn thirteen, we open mine that very day.

  6. B

    Hecho. Tu abuela va a estar orgullosísima: va a querer que la saludes en cada video.

    Deal. Your grandma's going to be so proud: she'll want a shout-out in every video.
