Let\u00b4s start by offering to do a few things for someone else, using the verb Querer talking to one person in a friendly way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How can you offer to buy food for another person?<br \/>\nHow can you offer to clean the house for another person?<br \/>\nHow can you offer to make a coffee for another person?<br \/>\nHow can you offer to help another person to study?<br \/>\nHow can you offer to stop the car for another person?<br \/>\nHow can you offer to lend another person your pen?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, please tell me what these questions in Spanish mean:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00bfQuiere que le ayude a pasar la carretera?<br \/>\n\u00bfQuiere que le abra la puerta?<br \/>\n\u00bfQuiere que apague el cigarrillo?<br \/>\n\u00bfQuiere que me vaya?<br \/>\n\u00bfQuiere que encienda la televisi\u00f3n?<br \/>\n\u00bfQuiere que vayamos con usted?<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Let\u00b4s see now if you know how to accept an offer in Spanish. What do these expressions mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vale<br \/>\nDe acuerdo<br \/>\nComo quiera\u2026 gracias<br \/>\nSi quieres<br \/>\nGenial, gracias, de verdad<br \/>\nTe lo agradezco en el alma<br \/>\nSe lo agradecer\u00eda much\u00edsimo<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, let\u00b4s practice how to reject an offer in Spanish. Please translate the following sentences from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, no, thanks<br \/>\nNo, it is not necessary, thank you<br \/>\nNo, it is not necessary, thank you anyway<\/p>\n<p>Esto es todo por hoy.<\/p>\n<p>Offering help is a very good way to introduce oneself to other people and therefore a great way to practice your Spanish. Don\u00b4t be afraid of making mistakes and go for it. If you practice often you will see how much you improve and you will also memorise things a lot better.<\/p>\n<p>I wish all of you lots of happiness for the New Year. And I hope your new year\u2019s resolution is to be fluent in Spanish!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Feliz A\u00f1o 2014!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
