After these first couple of weeks of instruction, students can also carry on a conversation in which they talk the following:
- Say hello
- Ask for and give their name (in Spanish, of course!)
- Ask about and tell how they feel
- Ask about and indicate where they live
- Ask for and give their age
- Ask for and give the time
- Say good-bye.
