First, let\u00b4s practice the easiest way to order something in Spanish: just say what you want. You can add \u201cpor favor\u201d at the end if you wish, but in Spain this is not expected or necessary. We are often very direct with things like this and nobody takes offence. I will say a few food and drinks in English and I would like you to order them in Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two expresso coffees<br \/>\nOne portion of chips<br \/>\nA bottle of mineral water<br \/>\nA bottle of red wine<br \/>\nThree beers<br \/>\nSome olives<br \/>\nA bit of bread<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, let\u00b4s practice ordering things with Spanish imperatives. I will say a verb (poner or traer), if I am asking for something for me or us (yo or nosotros), and if the situation is formal (formal) or informal (informal). So, for example, if I say \u201ctraer, yo, formal\u201d you should say \u201ctra\u00edgame\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Poner \/ nosotros \/ informal<br \/>\nPoner \/ yo \/ formal<br \/>\nTraer \/ yo \/ informal<br \/>\nPoner \/ yo \/ informal<br \/>\nTraer \/ nosotros \/ formal<br \/>\nTraer \/ nosotros \/ informal<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now, let\u00b4s practice ordering using some questions with the verb \u201cponer\u201d in a formal way. I will say some things you have to order and whether it is for me or for us, so you need to make the question. For example, if we start with the verb \u201cponer\u201d and I say \u201cunos calamares \/ nosotros\u201d you should say \u00bfNos pone unos calamares?:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Un caf\u00e9 con leche \/ yo<br \/>\nUna paella \/ nosotros<br \/>\nUna jarra de sangr\u00eda \/ nosotros<br \/>\nUn bocadillo de jam\u00f3n \/ yo<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now let\u00b4s do the same in an informal way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Un sandwich de jam\u00f3n y queso \/ yo<br \/>\nUnas aceitunas \/ nosotros<br \/>\nUna botella de agua \/ nosotros<br \/>\nUna botella de cava \/ nosotros<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Next, we will practice the same thing as in the previous exercise, but we will now use the verb \u201ctraer\u201d. First let\u00b4s make some questions in a formal way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Un bocadillo de chorizo \/ yo<br \/>\nUnas patatas fritas \/ nosotros<br \/>\nUnas tapas \/ nosotros<br \/>\nUn poco de queso \/ yo<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now let\u00b4s do the same in an informal way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Un t\u00e9 \/ yo<br \/>\nUn chocolate caliente \/ yo<br \/>\nDos caf\u00e9s descafeinados \/ nosotros<br \/>\nOtra botella de vino blanco \/ nosotros<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, let\u00b4s practice some more questions but this time using the verb \u201cpoder\u201d. Please try to translate the following questions in a formal way:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Can you bring me a bit of cheese?<br \/>\nCan you bring us more water?<br \/>\nCan you put to me a beer?<br \/>\nCan you put to me a glass of red wine?<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, ya hemos terminado la clase de hoy.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you found it useful. Remember not to use \u201cCan I\u2026\u201d \/ \u201cPuedo\u201d or \u201cMe gustar\u00eda\u201d \/ \u201cI would like\u201d. You might have the temptation to use these expressions in order to be more polite, but don\u00b4t. In Spain we are very relaxed and direct about these types of things and people don\u00b4t expect you to be so polite. The most important thing is to enjoy your food and drink!<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfHasta pronto!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
