URLLesson Introduction
No, you can't just cheat and give out a business card. You're going to have to give out your telephone number, and you have to do it in Spanish this time! In this lesson, we'll deal with the crucial exchange of digits.

The link to the "text version" in the PDF document in not working :( The text version is very useful for printing and view on mobile devices, like my Palm. I cannot view PDF document on it... Could this be fixed, or will the text versions not be made available?April 14, 2008

The teens and the twenties are simple forms: 10 diez 11 once 12 doce 13 trece 14 catorce 15 quince 16 dieciséis 17 diecisiete 18 dieciocho 19 diecinueve 20 veinte 21 veintiuno 22 veintidós 23 veintitrés 24 veinticuatro 25 veinticinco 26 veintiséis 27 veintirés 28 veintiocho 29 veintinueve the thirties through ninety nine are compound forms, formed with "y" between the tens-digit and the single digit. So... 40 cuarenta 41 cuarenta y uno 50 cincuenta 52 cincuenta y dos 60 sesenta 63 sesenta y tres 70 setenta 74 setenta y cuatro 80 ochenta 85 ochenta y cinco 90 noventa 96 noventa y seis And that's all you need for phone numbers, right? But moving on, just for fun.... One hundred has a unique form: 100 cienApril 14, 2008

jpvillanueva says
rogerk, the PDF is working on my end.... I will try to get to the bottom of this for you. Is anyone else having PDF problems?April 14, 2008
rogerk says
Hi jpvillanueva, thanks for you support :) At the bottom it says: "Visit the Online Review and Discussion (text version)." If I click "text version" then I get "Error 404 - Not Found". I was expecting a text version of the PDF document (like with Chinese POD). This "text version" document would be very useful I believe.April 14, 2008

Me amo newbie y elemetary leccones good work I can keep up with you. What is the difference between "a veces" and "alguna vez"April 14, 2008
jpvillanueva says
kizzyk, "a veces" is "sometimes." "alguna vez" is like 'at any time' and is usually found in the form of a question, for example "¿Has comido alguna vez el pulpo?" have you ever (at any time) eaten octopus?"April 15, 2008
keno says

estibalitz says
oliva, you´ll get used to listen to them, you should not worry much about it. Mi número de teléfono es el nueve cuatro tres, tres cinco, tres cinco, seis cuatro. Sometimes I also say it this way: nueve cuatro tres, treinta y cinco, treinta y cinco, sesenta y cuatro.April 20, 2008
ferdberfel says
at the end Liliana says "cuatapito" or maybe "guatopito" what is the word and meaning? Thanks in advance!April 21, 2008
jpvillanueva says
ferdberfel, Lili says "Jotapito," which is now my Mexican nickname. "JP" in Spanish is "jota pe" (and no, it's not common for Latinos to go by initials). They add "-ito" to make it affectionate. Esti has a nickname for me as well, it's "JP-tron," which makes me sound like a monster robot.April 21, 2008
ferdberfel says
ha! I like it!April 21, 2008
