Quiero … por favor. (I want … please.)

It’s time for you to practice numbers with menu items. If you’re struggling with numbers, hold tight just a little longer. Volume 2 of You Can Speak Spanish! will guide you through using numbers in Spanish. I will provide links to a real menu to help you answer the following question for our featured menu items:

ajiaco Ajiaco cuesta … pesos. (Ajiaco costs … pesos.)
¡Que tengas un domingo divino! (May you have a divine Sunday!)
