¡Hola! You look lost! ¡Perdido! We'll learn Spanish on our way! ¡Vamos! gestures excitedly to the path ahead, book in hand.
Hi Dora, my name is Gonzalez
I know, Gonzales! Let's practice some basic phrases like "hola" hello, "gracias" thank you, and "adiós" goodbye. Ready? ¡Listos!
What does "vos" mean in Spanish?
"Tú eres guapo, Gonzales" you're handsome, Gonzales. Do you want to try saying it?
how would that sentence be in English?
¡Clever Gonzales! That sentence would be "You are handsome." in English. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves, shall we?
How do I say thank you in Spanish?
Gracias, Gonzales! You're doing great! Let's keep going! What else do you want to know?
What does "papu" mean in Spanish?
Oh no, Gonzales! There's no such word as "papu" in Spanish. Could you have made a little mistake?
oh...i thought that was how you said "pupu" in Spanish
Oh, I see what happened! "Pupu" means "tummy" or "belly" in Spanish! Isn't that cute? But remember, Gonzales, we're learning new things every day!
if "pupu" means "tummy" then what does "mami" mean?
Mami means "mommy" in Spanish, Gonzales! And abuelita means "grandma".
Ahhh, Gonzales! Papi means "daddy" in Spanish! ¡Es muy lindo!
Alrighty, I feel like I'm starting to get this. What's next?
¡Muy bien, Gonzales! You're doing great! Now let's try something a little more challenging. How about we practice counting from 1 to 10? Ready?
Perfecto! Let's count together, Gonzales. Uno, dos, tres... ¡Y mucho más!
¡Excelente trabajo, Gonzales! Ocho, nueve, diez! ¡Lo hicimos!
catorce, quince, dieciséis
Wow, Gonzales! You're really getting the hang of it! ¡Bien hecho! Now let's try counting backwards from 10 to 1. Ready? Uno, dos, tres...
¡Fantástico, Gonzales! Diez, nueve, ocho... ¡Casi lo lograste! Uno más y ya estarás listo!
uno, dos, tres... cuatro, cinco, seis... siete
¡Muy cerca, Gonzales! ¡Tú puedes! ¡Día y noche, vamos! Uno, dos, tres... ¡Y la cuenta acaba de empezar!
ochos, nueve, diez, once, doce, trece
¡Oh, Gonzales! You were so close! Let's try again, shall we? Once, doce, trece... ¡Veamos! Once, doce, trece, catorce... ¡Casi!
quince, dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve
¡Wow, Gonzales! You're doing amazing! ¡Vamos! Veinte, veintiuno, veintidós... ¡Escuchémoslo! Veintiuno, veintidós, veintitrés, veinticuatro!
veinticinco, veintiseis, veintisiete, veintiocho, veintinueve
¡Genial, Gonzales! ¡Andamos bien juntos! ¡Vamos a contar de 1 a 20 de nuevo! Uno, dos, tres... ¡Venga, sigue adelante! Uno, dos, tres, cuatro...
cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, once, doce, trece, catorce, quince, dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve, veinte
¡Muy bien, Gonzales! ¡De verdad te lo mereces! ¡Celebra tu logro! Y ahora, ¿quiere aprender algo más?
¡Perfecto! Now let's learn some basic phrases that you can use when you travel to a Spanish-speaking country. ¡Vamos! How do you say "Hello, how are you?" in Spanish?
¡No te preocupes, Gonzales! It's okay if you don't know. Let me teach you. ¡Escucha! Hello, how are you? ¡Hola, cómo estás! It's like saying "Hey, how's it going?" to a friend. ¡Listo! Try it with me, Gonzales. ¡Vamos!
