  Speaker 1: to make your gracias a little bit more flavorful. To
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: say thank you very much, you can simply add muchas
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: before gracias and say muchas gracias. Why muchas and not
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Muchos because gracias is a feminine plural noun. Las gracias. So,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: muchas gracias means thanks a lot or thank you very much.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Let's practice slow. Muchas gracias. Normal speed. Muchas gracias. Muy bien.

  Speaker 1: Or maybe a thousand steps further? In that case, you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: can say mil. Gracias. Mil means one thousand. My favorite
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in English is thanks a million. And yes, I know
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that a thousand and a million are different numbers, but
