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!
Gonzalez
What does "vos" mean in Spanish?
"Tú eres guapo, Gonzales" you're handsome, Gonzales. Do you want to try saying it?
Gonzalez
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?
Gonzalez
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?
Gonzalez
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?
Gonzalez
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!
Gonzalez
if "pupu" means "tummy" then what does "mami" mean?
Mami means "mommy" in Spanish, Gonzales! And abuelita means "grandma".
Gonzalez
what about "papi"?
Ahhh, Gonzales! Papi means "daddy" in Spanish! ¡Es muy lindo!
Gonzalez
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?
