| Becky: Here’s the way to say “I don’t like it.” in Spanish. | |
| Laura: [Normal] No me gusta. | |

| Becky: Ok, now let’s take a look at the way to say “I don’t like waiting.” | |
| Laura: [Normal] No me gusta esperar. | |
| Becky: First is a word meaning “no” | |
| Laura: [Normal] no [Slow] no | |
| Becky: Next is the word meaning “to me” | |
| Laura: [Normal] me [Slow] me | |

| Cultural Insight | |
| Becky: Now it’s time for a quick cultural insight. | |
| Laura: In Mexico, you can say straight up that you don’t like something. But it’s best to use the phrase No me gusta since, lo odio might offend someone. | |
| Becky: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson! | |
| Laura: Hasta pronto. |

'No me gusta el examen.'
Hola Lynn,
Creo que a nadie le gusta los examenes. 😄
Depending on the context we can use "lo odio" and mean "I hate this".
Literally is should be "Odio esto" is "I hate this".
Sigamos practicando!

Why is "lo odio" translated as "I hate this" rather than "I hate it"? Wouldn't "I hate this" be "Odio esto?"
No me gustan exámenes.
Hola Chris,
Thank you for participating. 😉
Just some corrections.
"no me gusta cuando es un día lluvioso" OR "no me gusta cuando está lluvioso"
Sigamos practicando!

would like to learn the numbers, as the most basic and useful words are numbers. for example, get on a bus, ask the driver how much is the ticket. also in a market, ask how much is for a kilo ...
Hola Glaive_Lord,
