2. Tell me, how do you say…?
This game takes you through the language of Spanish. The
hardest part of learning another language is using it enough for
you to remember the words.
In this game you will learn important phrases and key
vocabulary words to help you get to a birthday party on time.
There will be obstacles that you face when trying to learn the
many new words, but that is normal.
If you don’t know the answer to a question, give it your best
shot. Spanish is a fun language because sometimes words look a
lot like English words. Good Luck and Bueñas Dias!
