Viajes: Katydew's Shared Class Dialogues # 13

Question

Diálogo #13 - Viajes

Just sharing class dialogues with my SD friends. Leave a vote, answer, or a comment to let me know if this is helpful to you. As long as I know someone wants to see these, I'll keep posting them. You can practice your own dialogue about this subject in the answer section changing it to suit you.

Just a note: I am more interested in understanding conversational Spanish and trying to understand what I hear in everyday life, so some of the forms will be informal. *I am supposed to have a native speaker record this then listen to it 35 times, then practice the conversation at least 10x/day. A lofty goal but helpful. You might want to try it.

Answer 1

Hola, Katy, gran ejercicio, como siempre. ¡Muy bien!

Creo que suena mejor "Vuelvo la próxima semana".

Thanks Cordo, I changed it. I think I must have copied it down wrong. - katydew, Aug 20, 2012

Puede que lo copiaras bien. Tal vez también se utilice como tú lo habías escrito, porque, por ejemplo, aquí también se dice "Vuelvo a la semana siguiente", que es casi igual. - Cordobesa, Aug 20, 2012

Thanks for the nice explanation, Cordo. - katydew, Aug 20, 2012
