Survival Spanish- Espagnol pour survivre- Espanhol para a sobrevivência

Spanish for travelling and a typical situation: Looking for a place.

- Read the dialogue, then check on the references (after numbers) and little questions and finally try new dialogues!

A: Buenos dias(1). Disculpe, ¿Podría decirme (2) dónde (3)HAY UNA PARADA DE AUTOBUS (4)?
B: Sí, cómo no (5). Hay una (6) a dos cuadras. Gire (7) a la derecha (8)en la próxima y la verá (9)
A: ¡Muchas gracias!
B: De nada.

References:
1. Buenos dias is one of the greetings. Remember the others?
2. Podría decirme = Could you tell me
3. dónde = where
4. Hay una parada de autobus: the reason for the conversation to have ever been started, looking for the bus stop. What other places can you be looking for? Which other a tourist may be interested in finding/needing to find?
5. Cómo no = claro= por supuesto: they show politeness and are adviced to follow "sí" in this situations.
6. "Una" here is a pronoun. Why do you think this was used and not "uno"?
7. Gire = turn; continue, siga= go along; tome= take
8. Derecha= right; Izquierda= left
9. La verá, la encontrará= you'll see/ find it

Now, imagine yourself there (where Spanish is spoken) and build another dialogue! ¡Suerte!

If you are planning to make a trip to a Spanish speaking country or want to know these basics, you may be interested in taking the next Survival Spanish course, coming soon (February 2010)
