Day 166: Senior Discount at the Pharmacy
In line at a pharmacy in San Miguel de Allende, Ofelia (A), a retired woman, runs into her old friend Adelina (B), who is buying her blood pressure pills too; both are over sixty, old enough for an INAPAM card, the government card for older people.
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.
Dialogue
Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.
