Welcome to Unit 9 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. In this unit you will learn how to ask for a table based on your party size, understand the waiter when they ask you what you want to drink, and how to order drinks.

This m-episode is a quick recap of Unit 8 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. It offers a congratulations on your hard work so far in learning Spanish.

This is a visualization practice that helps you imagine you are in a Latin American department store. You want to try on some clothing, but first you need to ask for it based on item description, its color, its size, and other factors. Practice in this m-episode.

This m-episode reviews the conversation you heard in Unit 8.1 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. By now, you should be able to understand the entire conversation, and be able to make slight modifications to apply it to your personal shopping experience.

This m-episode puts together everything you've learned about trying on items in a department store, asking for them based on specific sizes, colors, and other requests, and how to tell someone whether or not it fits. If you haven't grasped anything in this m-episode, go back and review the rest of this Unit.

So you tried on the item and now you want to let the clerk know how well it fit. First you would tell them if it even fits or not, before asking to try on another item of clothing or purchase the item you've tried on. You'll learn how to do these things in this m-episode.

This m-episode teaches you how to ask to try on an item in Spanish. If you like an item but want to try it on, there are two ways to ask. You can do it by specifically naming the item or you can refer to the item as “it”, just like in English.

This m-episode brings together all you have learned in the last four m-episodes. Say the following in Spanish. The first time through we will only say the English version so you have time to say it in Spanish. The second time through we’ll say it in Spanish and English so you can see if you got it right. 

Sometimes you need to buy items for people other than yourself. Let’s practice telling the clerk who you are buying the items for. This m-episode teaches you just that. It may be helpful to review Unit 1.10 of the podcast if you struggle to remember how to say each family member.
