Survival Spanish in Mexico City

Maria · Mexico City

About this episode

It's your first day in Mexico City and you don't speak the language — what do you actually say? Maria walks you through it in real time: asking for directions, finding her hotel, ordering at a taquería, getting the wifi password, and asking a stranger to take a photo. Every phrase is the kind you'll use within an hour of landing — "¿Dónde está...?", "¿Qué recomiendas?", "¿Cuál es la contraseña del wifi?" — taught in context so they actually stick.
