Here’s this week’s transcript!

Hola, mis amigos. Bienvenidos a lección cuatro con Tobi.

Look at you, listening to Spanish and understanding. Muy bien. Well done!

Our next two lessons are going to prep you for asking that special someone to eat food with you, and maybe more…

So far you’ve learned to

Añádame en Snapchat. – Add me on Snapchat.

Can I buy you a drink? ¿Te invito una copa?

Do you want to dance? ¿Quieres bailar?

Thanks for the dance. Gracias por el baile.

And you can ask for beer…

I would like 2 beers, please. Me gusta dos cervezas, por favor.

I would like an enchilada. Me gusta una enchilada.

But how do you ask someone out for a date?

Do you want to go to…? – ¿Quieres ir a….?

Movies? ¿Al cine?

Dinner? ¿A cenar?

Dancing? ¿A bailar?

Or

Do you want to get a coffee? ¿Quieres tomar un cafe?

Hopefully, they reply sí. And remember, no is no in any language.

Text me your address. Mándame tu dirrección. 

I’ll pick you up. Yo te recogeré.

That literally translates to “I’ll collect you” because it’s an expression. You’re really not going to lift them and carry them with you, or pick up. 

And here’s Aunt Tobi’s advice. Meet him there and bring a friend.

I’ll meet you there. Te encontraré allí.

I’m bringing a friend. Estoy trayendo una amiga.
