Learn Spanish for Tulum: Beach, Cenotes & the Ruins

About this episode

Tulum has the palapa, the turquoise water, the cenote, the ruins at cliff's edge — and if you don't speak any Spanish, you're watching it all from the outside. Ana fixes that in one day. She walks Cass through setting up at the beach (la palapa, la hamaca, "¿está incluida la silla de playa?"), getting in the water (el agua está cristalina, las olas, bucear con snorkel), connecting with Rodrigo the coconut vendor in full Mexican slang (chido, ¡qué padre!, un agua de coco), following the invite to a nearby cenote ("¿a qué distancia está?", "vamos a ir"), and finally standing at las ruinas — the view that makes the whole trip click. Every phrase in context, the way you'd actually pick it up on the ground.

The full illustrated comic, study guide, transcript, audio & vocab are in the pack.
