Free Spanish CourseLesson 119 of 238
Are you free in Spanish
Megan and Justin want to meet, but a friendly idea is not a finished plan.
In this lesson, you'll ask whether someone is free, choose a time, and decide where to meet.
You'll also ask what to do and confirm the arrangement, so both people leave knowing the day, place, and activity.
By the end of this lesson
