Lesson Introduction

No, you can't just cheat and give out a business card. You're going to have to give out your telephone number, and you have to do it in Spanish this time! In this lesson, we'll deal with the crucial exchange of digits.

The link to the "text version" in the PDF document in not working :( The text version is very useful for printing and view on mobile devices, like my Palm. I cannot view PDF document on it... Could this be fixed, or will the text versions not be made available?

The teens and the twenties are simple forms: 10 diez 11 once 12 doce 13 trece 14 catorce 15 quince 16 dieciséis 17 diecisiete 18 dieciocho 19 diecinueve 20 veinte 21 veintiuno 22 veintidós 23 veintitrés 24 veinticuatro 25 veinticinco 26 veintiséis 27 veintirés 28 veintiocho 29 veintinueve the thirties through ninety nine are compound forms, formed with "y" between the tens-digit and the single digit. So... 40 cuarenta 41 cuarenta y uno 50 cincuenta 52 cincuenta y dos 60 sesenta 63 sesenta y tres 70 setenta 74 setenta y cuatro 80 ochenta 85 ochenta y cinco 90 noventa 96 noventa y seis And that's all you need for phone numbers, right? But moving on, just for fun.... One hundred has a unique form: 100 cien

rogerk, the PDF is working on my end.... I will try to get to the bottom of this for you. Is anyone else having PDF problems?

Hi jpvillanueva, thanks for you support :) At the bottom it says: "Visit the Online Review and Discussion (text version)." If I click "text version" then I get "Error 404 - Not Found". I was expecting a text version of the PDF document (like with Chinese POD). This "text version" document would be very useful I believe.

Me amo newbie y elemetary leccones good work I can keep up with you. What is the difference between "a veces" and "alguna vez"
April 14, 2008 from the Web.

jpvillanueva says
kizzyk, "a veces" is "sometimes." "alguna vez" is like 'at any time' and is usually found in the form of a question, for example "¿Has comido alguna vez el pulpo?" have you ever (at any time) eaten octopus?"

Asking for a number in spanish, I count 11 syllables. In english it's four: What's you're number? Is there a shorter form in everyday spanish? (Recibi in "A" en mi prueba proxima.)

I have a hard time understanding when numbers above 15 are spoken. I can't tell what # they are saying. Any suggestions to improve my listening skills?

oliva, you´ll get used to listen to them, you should not worry much about it. Mi número de teléfono es el nueve cuatro tres, tres cinco, tres cinco, seis cuatro. Sometimes I also say it this way: nueve cuatro tres, treinta y cinco, treinta y cinco, sesenta y cuatro.

at the end Liliana says "cuatapito" or maybe "guatopito" what is the word and meaning? Thanks in advance!

jpvillanueva says
ferdberfel, Lili says "Jotapito," which is now my Mexican nickname. "JP" in Spanish is "jota pe" (and no, it's not common for Latinos to go by initials). They add "-ito" to make it affectionate. Esti has a nickname for me as well, it's "JP-tron," which makes me sound like a monster robot.

youyou55:

holo me llamas safia

If I may correct two typos: Hola, me llamo Safia. (literally: Hello, myself I call Safia.)

(Whomever it may concern: I think that correcting user postings is one of the most efficient ways of encouraging user postings. :)

vikia,

Bíen leccion para mi! == Es una buena lección para mí == For me its a good lesson.

Como dice "Slowly please"  ==Despacio por favor.

 

Kumustaka Parem? paulorn,

pinoys ==If you refer to Philipine person you should say => Filipino

celfones ==Cell phone? == Celular.

A los filipinos nos gusta mucho utilizar el celular.

Translation: The philipines like to utilize the cellular.

Also One note for you're knwoladge :-) Philipine culture its one of the most similar i have found to mine the Puertorican or people from Puerto Rico... take care

Sigina babay!

Bíen leccion para mi! = It should be => Good lesson for me?

- Es una buena lección para mí.

Is it "Lentamente por favor"? = =

 

- Despacio por favor.

¿Cuándo debo utilizar "Cual" y cuándo debo usar "Que?

June 10, 2011 from the Web.

lilianamata says

La diferencia en el uso es la información que quieres obtener.

Usas cual cuando quieres saber algo especifico dentro de un grupo grande de cosas.

¿Cual es tu nombre?

Hay un numero infinito de nombres y queremos saber cual WHICH ONE es el tuyo.

Que se usa cuando no sabes exactamente de lo que se habla.

QUE estas haciendo? = what are you doing? what is that? que es eso?

cual?" significa "which one" o"which?"

"Que?" significa"What?" en todos los sentidos.

Queda claro??
