Go dancing at Loca Luna with your parents and talk to the hosts and waiters 

 

Guide: remember, they are meant to be natural conversations lasting from 3 to 5 minutes. 

Here are suggestions on what to ask: 

De dónde es usted? 

Adónde va usted? 

Cuanto tiempo llevas aqui en Atlanta? 

Estudias ingles? – por cuanto tiempo? 

Le gusta usted trabajar aquí? 

Que recomienda usted que pruebo? 

 

 Hints: 

Use subtitles for the TV 

Download from internet whenever possible. Play the files in media player and 

slow it down with the change speed/tempo feature so you can understand it. 

Use itunes to subscribe to free podcasts. You can find a world of interviews from 

Spanish speakers in the music world! 

 Start with your radio and news clippings in June 

 Watch TV by the end of July. 

Go out and explore Atlanta or your vacation town as much as possible to gain 

experience talking to Spanish speakers.  

 

 Remember, tv and radio are meant to take you 1 hr per day over 30 days. You can spread 

that out over the 60 days (plus) of summer, however you need. (start now!) 

 

Searching for an internet article in Spanish can be tough but remember, the first time – 

you will understand just a little bit – but by the 30th article, you should start to get it! 

Stick to simple – “Corazon” and entertainment articles first, then move on to world 

events.
