You can have them with pasta, in sandwiches, in soups... mmm... if albóndigas--meatballs--are not a part of your Spanish language learning experience yet... well they can be!

Newbie - Doing the Laundry
We men are capable of doing the laundry, too, you know! That is, as long as you tell us where you hid the detergent... In this lesson, we'll hear how to ask for things you can't find. We'll also hear how to answer, "I don't know," which is an extremely useful phrase, if not helpful!
Elementary - Do you want an empanada?
Do you have memories of the smell of empanadas coming out the oven in your auntie's kitchen? Even if you don't, you can imagine that these individual stuffed pies stir up memories of family and home. In today's lesson, we'll hear some crucial empanada-related vocabulary; e.g., "meat" and "cheese."
Mmm, empanadas.... Don't you want one?
Newbie - Call me
It's the age of the cell phone, kids. Remember when we used to go to all the trouble of agreeing on a time and place to meet up... and then when you were running late, I had to wait there for you in the rain, pouting, feeling like a chump, wondering if you'd been hit by a truck? Well those 'bad ol' days' are long gone! Just gimme a call on my cell phone, we'll figure it out! Check out this lesson, find out how to say "Call me later!"

This lesson for those times when you just have to make a call, but you forgot your cell phone, or there's no coverage, or you used up all your minutes... so you have to resort to the pay phone on the corner.
Newbie - How do you say...?
You might be surprised by how easy it is to say the word "internet" in Spanish! What's more important is to learn how to ask your Spanish-speaking friends "How do you say...?" Later in the lesson we'll learn about anglicismos, which are words that are "borrowed" directly from English. You know more Spanish than you thought you did!
Newbie - Where are you from?
Everybody is from somewhere! Just telling someone where you're from can speak volumes about you; what you like to eat, how you spend your free time, who your favorite basketball team is... This newbie lesson shows us how to ask where someone is from, and how to answer, as well!
Newbie - How's it going?
What's up? How's it going? What's shakin'? We have so many ways casual ways to greet each other in English. This lesson is all about how we greet our friends casually in Spanish. Liliana tells us how common it is for Spanish speakers throw in a compliment; for example, "hello, beautiful!" We all deserve to hear "hello, beautiful!" every now and then, don't we?
