Start hereHow this works

My number and my email in Spanish

You're back at Café Laurel, still at the table with Amanda and Yako. Amanda has her phone out, and she wants everyone's number and email.

You'll learn to give your number, share your email, and say your first name. You'll also learn to ask for all three.

That comes up every time you meet someone new. And Yako's phone number turns out to be longer than he remembers.

By the end of this lesson

Give a phone number and an email, and ask for theirs.

  • Mi número de teléfono es ___My number is ___
  • ¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono?What's your number?
  • Mi correo es ___My email is ___
  • ¿Cuál es tu correo?What's your email?
  • Mi nombre es ___My first name is ___
  • ¿Dónde trabajas?Where do you work?
