Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! You just figured out that you misunderstood the Spanish directions you received earlier about the bus, and you’re in a panic about how you’re going to get to the store.

Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Since you’re visiting Latin America for the first time, you’ve been relying on the helpfulness of Spanish-speaking strangers to help you get around. You know enough Spanish to get by, but sometimes there are some nuances that are lost on you. Despite your Spanish shortcomings, you decide that today is the day that you’re going to brave Mexico’s public transportation system and head downtown to take in the sights. You decipher the Spanish signs well enough to figure out where to go to stand for the bus, and you ask a passer-by in Spanish, “I have to make some dinner, and I need to get to the grocery store. Does this bus go downtown?” The person responds quickly in Spanish, so you think you the person agreed that the bus goes where you want it to go. You tell the person in Spanish, “I do appreciate your help, thank you very much.” You walk over to the appropriate platform to wait for the next bus and read some other Spanish signs, looking for confirmation that you’re going the right way. Seeing none, you hope it’s the right bus, and if not, who knows what you will do!

Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! While you’re minding your business at the train station, a young boy approaches you and asks you for directions in Spanish. When you tell him where to go, he tells you that you used the wrong Spanish word. Who does this young Spanish-speaking whipper-snapper think he is, telling you that you’re wrong in Spanish? You’ve been speaking Spanish for ten times as many years as he has, yet he has the audacity to tell you that you pronounced a Spanish word incorrectly. You tell him in Spanish, “Now listen here, kiddo, you can’t just go around telling folks that you know more Spanish than they do. It’s just not polite.” The kid tries to interrupt in Spanish, saying, “But sir…” But you continue your lecture, saying in Spanish, “Kids today need to learn how to mind their manners. Instead of spending time reading Spanish lessons, someone needs you to teach you some etiquette.” The kid tries again, raising his voice and saying in Spanish, “BUT SIR…” You continue on in Spanish, while the kid just shakes his head. Finally, he points at something behind you, and you turn to see your train just about to take off!

Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! You tell the taxi driver in Spanish, “Hey, we’ll get out here and walk the rest of the way, thanks.” As you pay the driver, your friend leans over and says to you in Spanish, “Where are we?” You respond in Spanish, “The party’s at an apartment that’s just around the corner.” Your friend looks skeptical, but he just says in Spanish, “Okay, I guess you know where you’re going.” As you walk to the corner, you turn and you say in Spanish, “Okay, so this doesn’t look familiar. The building must be up at the next stoplight.” You keep walking past the stoplight, but there’s no apartment building to be found, and there’s certainly no party on the street. Your friend starts to say something, but you interrupt and say in Spanish, “I know, I know. I should have just taken the cab the whole way.”
