What's inside

📄 The phrase guide (PDF)

180 phrases, 15 for each situation, with English for every one. The real Spanish people say in Mexico, word for word from the PalabraFlow app.

🎧 12 audio drills (MP3)

One track per situation, 3 to 4 minutes each. Play them in the car, on a walk or while you cook. No screen needed.

How the drills work

  1. Listen and say. You hear a phrase in English. In the pause, say it in Spanish from memory. Then you hear how it's said in Mexico, twice, and repeat it.
  2. Quick-fire. The same phrases in Spanish only, faster. Repeat each one in the pause.

Situation. Chunk. Response. Learn the situation, not the word list.

A taste: At the Taco Stand

¿Pica mucho?
Is it very spicy?
Solo un poquito.
Just a little.
Sin chile, por favor.
No chili, please.
Con todo, por favor.
With everything, please. (used with tacos, tortas, etc.)
