Day 128: Mariachi Night at the Degollado
In Guadalajara, the home of mariachi and of tortas ahogadas, crusty rolls drowned in chili sauce, Jaqueline (A) tells her older sister, Irene (B), about Sunday's mariachi concert at the Teatro Degollado.
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.
