There absolutely could not be a more beautiful day than today. The weather is perfect, the sun is shining, and you are in Spain! Even the birds seem to notice what a great day you are having! As you casually stroll along a park in Barcelona on your way to meet a friend, the beauty of the day overwhelms you. As you reach the caf&#233; in your dreamy state, your friend looks at you questioningly as you approach and asks in Spanish, "Are you okay?" Bursting with the excitement of the day, you begin to tell her in Spanish all about how beautiful the day has been. However, when you get to the part about the birds singing, you stop abruptly at a complete loss for the appropriate Spanish words. Again, noticing the sudden disappointment on your face, your friend asks in Spanish, "You still okay?" Deeply saddened by your inability to express the beauty of the swans in the pond or the beautiful peacock with its colorful display that you experienced today, you drop your head and answer in Spanish, "Well, there were these birds, and they were pretty." Your friend looks at you as if you have lost your mind, replying in Spanish, "Oh, that's nice." Another lost opportunity&#8230; Learning Spanish with SpanishPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Spanish! This Spanish Video lesson will teach you the Spanish vocabulary you need to talk about some beautiful birds and their actions in Spanish.

Moments later, you hear a man telling his son in&#160;Spanish, "Look at what that baby elephant is doing!"

Is there somewhere I can get some coffee?" Maybe you said the wrong thing, because the person looks at you and, without responding, points you toward the elevator. You head toward the lobby, approach the clerk at the reception desk, and ask in Spanish, "Is there a coffee shop nearby? I can barely keep my eyes open." The clerk tells you in Spanish, "There's a coffee shop across the lobby. But if I may make an additional suggestion&#8230;?" You nod your head, and the clerk continues in Spanish, "Perhaps you should reconsider your attire for the day." You look down, and you seem to be okay with flip-flops, pants, and a t-shirt&#8230;so you ask in Spanish, "What do you mean?" The clerk gestures toward the nearby mirror, and you gasp in horror as you say out loud in Spanish, "I am wearing my clothes backwards!" &#160; Learning Spanish with SpanishPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Spanish!

Tired and hungry, you start muttering to yourself in Spanish. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, you tell your friend in Spanish, "I'm afraid we'll never find the market, but let's keep walking and see what happens." You've decided that it's much wiser to keep your mouth shut than to keep asking random strangers for directions in Spanish. However, your friend clearly hasn't reached the same conclusion. At least this time your friend has spotted a police officer, and you presume she will at least be kind to you when you talk to her in Spanish. Your friend eggs you on to speak with her in Spanish, so you ask her (or at least you think you ask her) where the market is in Spanish. To your surprise, she responds with a threat, telling you in Spanish, "If you don't get out of here, I'm going to throw you in jail!" Undeterred, you press on and ask in Spanish, "Please help us. We're lost, and we just want to know where the market is!" This time, she tells you in Spanish to get lost, and you can't quite tell what else, but you think she called you Costa Rican. That's not quite the advice you were looking for. You're not sure what you said wrong in Spanish, but the cops here sure are tough!

Just then, at the moment you least expect it, the teacher of course decides to call your name and proceeds to ask you a question in Spanish. Unfortunately, you have no idea what your teacher just said, so you ask her in Spanish to repeat herself.
