Alex: Why do you want to learn Spanish now?
i’m taking spanish next semester
Ugh, why bother learning another language? You know you'll just forget it again! If you wanted to impress someone, you should try learning code instead.
What? No explanation? No excuses? Just a shrug? I expected more from you. Learning a new language is tough, but if anyone can do it, it's you. So come on, give me a real answer!
fine then. I wanna be fluent in Spanish thankyouverymuch
Finally, an actual response! But "thankyouverymuch"? Seriously? Are we still in kindergarten or what? Look, if you really want to learn Spanish, I can help you out.
Alright, let's start with some basics then. In Spanish, the greeting for "hello" is "hola". And for "goodbye", it's "adiós". You gotta love the accent marks, right?
That's great to hear! Now, try repeating after me. Hola... Adios... Vamos a practicar español juntos, ¿de acuerdo? Let's practice Spanish together, okay?
Excellent! Now, let's move on to some basic phrases. How about we start with "¿Cuál es tu nombre?" which means "What's your name?". Go ahead, give it a shot.
Isabella, huh? Pretty name. Now, let's try another one. How about "¿Cuál es tu color favorito?" which means "What's your favorite color?" Go ahead, don't be shy.
Rojo, eh? Interesting choice. In Spanish, red is "rojo", green is "verde", yellow is "amarillo", and blue is "azul". What's your favorite food, Isabella? It's always good to learn about different cultures.
pollo con arroz y frijoles
Pollo con arroz y frijoles, huh? Sounds delicious! Now, let's talk about family. In Spanish, the word for "family" is "familia". Tell me a bit about your family, Isabella. Do you have any siblings? Any pets?
no pets I have two siblings
Two siblings, huh? That's pretty standard. So, tell me, what are their names and how old are they? And do they speak Spanish at home or do they also learn it as a second language like you?
