10 Units to Complete Level A1 in Spanish (I.3)

Hola amigos de ABC Spanish Lessons!!!

Back to the Website

We are still on unit 1, of our Begginers Spanish Course. Remember we are following the book: Aula del Sur. (Publising house: Difusión. Level: A1) And today we'll be learning more ways to ask for our personal details.

Imagine you are at a reception of a language school, and on the first day you need to register yourself. The receptionist will kindly ask for your contact details in Spanish of course...!

You will need to know questions like this:

(I'm adding the meaning but it is not always the literal translation)

¿Cómo te llamas? / What's your name?

¿Cuántos años tienes? / How old are you?

¿A qué te dedicas? / What's your job?

¿De dónde eres? / Where are you from?

¿Tienes correo electrónico? / What's your e-mail?

¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono? / What's your phone number?

¿Tienes celular? / What's your mobile?

Would you like to listen a real conversation on this context? Visit ABC Spanish Lessons in London and go to videos and materials there you'll find Audio Aula del Sur A1.1 you will need to download  pista (track) 2, 3 and 4.

On the actual book we have an activity especially for this lesson, Please let me know if you are interested in receiving the full lesson on a private or group class.

At the end of this lesson, students are able complete a card with their own information:

Me llamo____________________ y soy (de)_____________________________. Vivo en ________________________. Tengo ______________________años. Y soy/trabajo en_________________. Mi número de teléfono es el____________________y mi (dirección de) correo electrónico es____________________________________________.

I will be very happy to help you!!! to learn how to complete your own personal detail information card in Spanish. I look forward to teaching you. And please send me an email with your questions and comments about this blog!

Hasta pronto!

pluriverbales: piel roja, medio ambiente, hombre rana, etc.

Existen diversas composiciones, según la categoría gramatical de los lexemas, y acá abajo en la siguiente tabla lo podrás apreciar mejor.

Where to go on your next holiday?

You are doing well with your work, getting use to your schedule at home, and enjoying your time with friends, but there is a long time since you haven't been on vacation.

Dreaming awake you picture your self in one of those exotic beaches from the caribean or maybe let's say Los Cabos ... the breeze, the sound of the ocean crashing on the beach, a very refreshing drink, and beautiful suntanned bodies and you lying on the beach just chilling...

Suddenly you meet new friends and you want to communicate your self, and start practicing what you have been studying at you spanish class, but wait a minute...!!!!  you hadn't,  you never had any Spanish lesson...
and this doesn't mean you won't enjoy your staying, but wowowow OMG how big would the difference if you can speak their language, you will definitely be able to share and understand better cultural behaviors and customes.

That's a very good reason for us to recommend you to start having some Spanish tuitions, immersion is one of the best ways to learn a new language, and a good way to do it is by taking some initial course, and if you can travel to any Spanish speaking country this not only will help you with your new language but it will make it in a more entertaining way. By this we are not saying that you should skip grammar lessons, no. Because grammar is the basis of the language and it is the way to speak it and write it in a proper way. But it definitely will help you to make it more easy and defenitely more fun!
