Five phrases at a time

Aprende cinco expresiones cada vez. Elige una situación real para cada una. Cambia un detalle, como el día, el lugar o el número. Después tapa el texto y responde en voz alta. Mañana usa las mismas expresiones en otra situación.

English meaning

Learn five phrases at a time. Choose a real situation for each one. Change one detail, such as the day, place or number. Then hide the text and answer aloud. Come back tomorrow and use the same phrases in a different situation.

Self-check

Read once, hide the paragraph and answer. Then check the key. This is a practice activity, not a CEFR assessment.

How many phrases should you start with?
Show answer
Five.
Name one detail you can change.
Show answer
Day, place or number.
What should you do tomorrow?
Show answer
Reuse the phrases in a different situation.

Transfer task

Rewrite the situation using your own day, place or preference, then say it aloud without looking.

Reference card

These phrases aim for broad usefulness. Use usted forms for the polite singular examples; tú forms for informal singular examples. Plural address varies: ustedes is used throughout Latin America and also formally in much of Spain; informal vosotros occurs in much of Spain. Billete/boleto, móvil/celular and camarero/mesero vary by place. The first term is not universally more correct.

Match the phrase to the situation: listen to the reply and ask a follow-up rather than reciting the whole list.
