Author: Live Lingua April 11, 2024 Duration: 1:00

Conversations — the vehicle of language. Being able to properly introduce yourself is akin to hopping into the vehicle.

This audio and text guide will show you how to do just that. This is a conversation between Ms. Laura Ramirez and her husband, Ray, who is an American that speaks a little bit of Spanish (yes, those are really our names!)

They're meeting with someone called Miguel Gomez, and this episode is an introduction when they first meet. Then, the same conversation in Spanish. Don't worry if you can't understand it yet. We will break it down and practice it.
