- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Spanish with Fexingo. Luna: Oh, thanks Lucas. It's good to be here again. Lucas: So last time we chatted about that streaming show, using all our greetings and goodbyes. Luna: Right, right. Hola, buenos días, ¿cómo estás? All that. Lucas: Exactly. Today, we're going super tiny. Four little words that pack a huge punch. Luna: Oh, I love tiny. What are they? Lucas: Yes, no, please, and thank you. That's it. The whole episode. Luna: Wait — that's really it? Just four words? Lucas: Yep. But we're going to make sure you own them. Let's start with yes. In Spanish, yes is 'Sí'. Luna: Sí. Lucas: Good. Say it slowly with me: Sí. Luna: Sí. Lucas: Meaning yes. Now at normal speed: Sí. Luna: Sí. Lucas: Perfect. Next, no. In Spanish, no is... well, 'No'. Luna: Oh, really? That's easy. Lucas: It is. But let's practice. Say it: No. Luna: No. Lucas: Meaning no. Normal speed: No. Luna: No. Lucas: Great. Now please. In Spanish, please is 'Por favor'. Luna: Por favor. Lucas: Break it down: Por... favor. Luna: Por favor. Lucas: Meaning please. Normal speed: Por favor. Luna: Por favor. Lucas: Excellent. Last one, thank you. In Spanish, thank you is 'Gracias'. Luna: Gracias. Lucas: Slowly: Gra... cias. Luna: Gracias. Lucas: Meaning thank you. Normal speed: Gracias. Luna: Gracias. Lucas: There you go. So our four words: Sí, No, Por favor, Gracias. Luna: Sí, No, Por favor, Gracias. Got it. Lucas: Let's do a tiny scene. Imagine I'm offering you a cookie. I say, '¿Quieres una galleta?' That means, do you want a cookie? Luna: Okay. Lucas: And you say, 'Sí, por favor.' Luna: Sí, por favor. Lucas: Then I give it to you, and you say, 'Gracias.' Luna: Gracias. Lucas: And if you don't want it, you say, 'No, gracias.' Luna: No, gracias. Lucas: Exactly. Try it with me. ¿Quieres una galleta? Luna: Sí, por favor. Lucas: Here you go. Luna: Gracias. Lucas: Now, ¿quieres una galleta? Luna: No, gracias. Lucas: Perfect. You're nailing it. Luna: This feels useful already. Lucas: It is. Let's mix in a callback. Remember '¿cómo estás?' from episode two? Luna: Yeah, how are you. Lucas: Right. So if someone asks you '¿cómo estás?', you might say 'Bien, gracias.' Luna: Bien, gracias. Oh, that uses gracias. Lucas: Totally. See how it connects? Now, quick recap. I'll say the English, you say the Spanish. Yes? Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Yes. Luna: Sí. Lucas: No. Luna: No. Lucas: Please. Luna: Por favor. Lucas: Thank you. Luna: Gracias. Lucas: Awesome. Now reverse. I'll say Spanish, you say English. Sí. Luna: Yes. Lucas: No. Luna: No. Lucas: Por favor. Luna: Please. Lucas: Gracias. Luna: Thank you. Lucas: You did it. All four words, locked in. Luna: That was fun. And short. Lucas: Exactly. Small and digestible, just like we do here at Fexingo. Practice these: Sí, No, Por favor, Gracias. Luna: Will do. Thanks, Lucas. Lucas: Gracias to you too, Luna. And to everyone listening, thanks for joining us. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Spanish with Fexingo.
