It's a plan in Spanish
Justin and Amanda are making a simple coffee plan, but the details matter: when, where, and who else is coming.
You'll learn short chunks for confirming the plan, naming your arrival time, and asking about the other guests.
Jory may appear in the plan even though nobody clearly invited him. In Mexico City, that can happen.
By the end of this lesson
Confirm a plan, say when you'll arrive, and ask who else is coming.

Scene — coffee plans
Late afternoon at Café Laurel. Justin and Amanda are texting and talking near the counter about meeting for coffee after Amanda finishes work.
Michael is setting out clean cups, while Jory is already nearby, listening with suspiciously excellent timing.
Learn — confirm and coordinate
These chunks help you move from a general agreement to useful details about time, people, and backup plans.
Learn each one as a ready-to-use piece.
Entonces, quedamos
It's a plan
When to use it: Say this when you agree that a plan is settled.
Learn it as one piece; entonces means so or then.
Llego a las ___
I'll be there at ___
When to use it: Use this to say what time you expect to arrive.
Put the time after a las; use it as a complete chunk.
Say it: Llego sounds like YEH-goh.
¿Quién más viene?
Who else is coming?
When to use it: Ask this when you want to know about the other people attending.
Más means else or more, and viene means is coming.
Te aviso
I'll let you know
When to use it: Say this when you'll give someone an update later.
The direct meaning is I notify you; learn the chunk for updates.
Podríamos ___
We could ___
When to use it: Use this to suggest one possible activity.
Podríamos introduces an idea; place the activity after it.
Quizá en otra ocasión
Maybe another time
When to use it: Say this when you decline now but leave the possibility open.
Quizá means maybe; ocasión is feminine, so use otra.
