Luna: I feel like a movie star already. Lucas: You are definitely making progress. Luna: So, Quiero dos entradas. Lucas: Exactly. You walk up to the counter. Luna: And I say that clearly. Lucas: Yes. Then the clerk gives you the tickets. Luna: Now I have my tickets in hand. Lucas: What do we do next? Luna: We need to find the room where they play the film. Lucas: The screening room or theater. Luna: How do we ask for that location? Lucas: We use a question about where something is. Lucas: ¿Dónde está la sala? Luna: ¿Dónde está la sala? Lucas: Good. Sala means the room or hall. Luna: ¿Dónde está la sala? Lucas: It sounds very polite and clear. Luna: I will remember that one. Lucas: If someone points the way, you go down the hall. Luna: And inside the dark room? Lucas: Usually, people buy snacks before entering. Luna: Popcorn is essential. Lucas: In Spanish, popcorn is 'palomitas'. Luna: Palomitas. Lucas: Let us make a request for it.

Lucas: No me gusta el final. Luna: No me gusta el final. Lucas: It means I do not like the ending. Luna: No me gusta el final. Lucas: That was perfect. Luna: I can express my opinion now.
