Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, remember that roundabout we talked about last time? Well, today I thought we could tackle something a little taller. Luna: Oh, are we finally doing the climbing frame again? I loved those episodes! But wait, I think we did climbing frame seven and eight already. Lucas: Exactly, so today we're doing climbing frame nine. New phrases, new challenges. Let's start simple: Voy a subir. Luna: Voy a subir. That means 'I'm going to climb', right? Lucas: Exactly. Voy a subir. Repeat after me: Voy a subir. Luna: Voy a subir. Nice, I can already imagine myself on the frame. Lucas: Good. Now, if you want to tell someone where to put their foot, you say: Pon el pie aquí. Luna: Pon el pie aquí. 'Put your foot here.' That's useful. Pon el pie aquí. Lucas: Perfect. And as they climb, you encourage them: Sigue subiendo. Luna: Sigue subiendo – 'keep climbing'. Sigue subiendo. Lucas: Right. You might also warn them: Cuidado. Luna: Cuidado. That's 'careful'. Easy word. Cuidado. Lucas: And when they're close to the top, you say: Ya casi llegas. Luna: Ya casi llegas. 'You almost made it.' Oh that's sweet. Ya casi llegas. Lucas: Once they reach the top, you celebrate: Lo lograste. Luna: Lo lograste – 'you did it' or 'you made it'. Lo lograste. Lucas: You're picking these up fast.

Luna: Yeah, we really appreciate it. Now, let's put these into action. Imagine I'm a little kid trying to climb. Lucas: Okay, go ahead. Voy a subir. Luna: Voy a subir. Pon el pie aquí. Lucas: Sigue subiendo. Cuidado. Luna: Ya casi llegas. Lo lograste! Oh I love that. You really feel like you're coaching someone. Lucas: Exactly. Let's do a quick back and forth. I'll give you a cue, you respond with the right phrase. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: I'm at the bottom and I say 'Voy a subir.' You say? Luna: Pon el pie aquí. Oh wait, no. That would be if I'm helping you. Hmm... Actually, I could say 'Sigue subiendo' later. Let me think. Lucas: No worries, let's reset. I'll say 'Cuidado' and you respond with something encouraging. Luna: Okay. Cuidado... then I say 'Ya casi llegas'. Lucas: Perfect. And when you reach the top, I'll say 'Lo lograste'. Luna: And I feel awesome. These phrases really work together. Let's run through all six one more time. Lucas: Voy a subir. Luna: Pon el pie aquí. Lucas: Sigue subiendo. Luna: Cuidado. Lucas: Ya casi llegas. Luna: Lo lograste. Lucas: You've got it. Now try saying them in a sequence as if you're guiding someone. Luna: Okay: Voy a subir. Pon el pie aquí. Sigue subiendo. Cuidado. Ya casi llegas. Lo lograste. That feels natural. Lucas: It does. And remember, you can use these anywhere there's a climbing frame – at the park, at school, wherever. Luna: I'll definitely practice these with my nephew next weekend. He loves the climbing frame. Lucas: Great. So we've covered climbing, foot placement, encouragement, warning, almost there, and success. That's a nice set. Luna: It really is. Thanks Lucas. I feel like I could coach a whole team of little climbers now. Lucas: And they'd be lucky to have you. Keep practicing these, and we'll see you next time on Fexingo.
