- Lucas: Bienvenidos de vuelta, amigos. This is Learn Spanish with Fexingo, episode 175. Luna: Hey Lucas, I'm ready for another park adventure. What are we talking about today? Lucas: Today, we're going to the fountain. La fuente. Luna: La fuente. The fountain. I love fountains — they're so peaceful. Lucas: Right. And there's often water, el agua. La fuente tiene agua. Luna: La fuente tiene agua. The fountain has water. That makes sense. Lucas: Now, you know what people sometimes do at a fountain? They throw a coin. Tirar una moneda. Luna: Tirar una moneda. Throw a coin. Like a wish? Lucas: Exactly. Pedir un deseo. To make a wish. People throw a coin and make a wish. Luna: Pedir un deseo. Make a wish. I want to try that. So how do I say 'I want to throw a coin'? Lucas: You can say: Quiero tirar una moneda. I want to throw a coin. Luna: Quiero tirar una moneda. And then pedir un deseo. Lucas: Yes. And you can ask someone: ¿Has pedido un deseo? Have you made a wish? Luna: ¿Has pedido un deseo? Have you made a wish? That's a good question. Lucas: Let's practice all five phrases together. First: la fuente. Luna: La fuente. Lucas: El agua. Luna: El agua. Lucas: Tirar una moneda. Luna: Tirar una moneda. Lucas: Pedir un deseo. Luna: Pedir un deseo. Lucas: And ¿Has pedido un deseo? Luna: ¿Has pedido un deseo? Lucas: Great job, Luna. Now, let's imagine we're at the park. I say: Mira, la fuente. ¿Quieres tirar una moneda? Luna: Sí, quiero tirar una moneda y pedir un deseo. Lucas: Perfect. And after you throw, I ask: ¿Has pedido un deseo? Luna: Sí, he pedido un deseo. But I won't tell you what it is, or it won't come true. Lucas: Right. That's the tradition.

Oh, that's a problem. Then you can't make a wish. Lucas: You could ask a friend: ¿Tienes una moneda? Do you have a coin? Luna: ¿Tienes una moneda? That's handy. I'll remember that. Lucas: Let's do a quick recap. We learned: la fuente, el agua, tirar una moneda, pedir un deseo, and ¿Has pedido un deseo? Luna: And also ¿Tienes una moneda? for when you're broke. Lucas: Yes, good addition. Now, let's put it all together in a short scene. I'll be you, and you be me. Luna: Okay. Lucas: Hola, Luna. Mira, la fuente. ¿Quieres tirar una moneda? Luna: Sí, pero no tengo monedas. ¿Tienes una moneda? Lucas: Sí, aquí tienes. Tira la moneda y pide un deseo. Luna: Gracias. Ya pedí un deseo. Lucas: ¿Has pedido un deseo? ¡Qué bien! Espero que se cumpla. Luna: That was fun. I felt like I was really there. Lucas: Me too. And now you can talk about a fountain in Spanish. Practice these phrases, and next time you see a fountain, throw a coin and say 'pedir un deseo'. Luna: I will. Thanks, Lucas. See you all next time on Learn Spanish with Fexingo!
