When ordering food, a simple phrase that can be used is:
Quiero … por favor. (I want … please.)
Practice using this phrase with Honduran menu items that we’ve learned about:
- baleada (Quiero una baleada, por favor.)
- pastelitos de perro (Quiero unos pastelitos de perro, por favor.)
- pan de coco
- sopa de caracol
- pastel de yuca
- licuado de banano
- semitas
- tustacas
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 help you answer the following question for our featured menu items:
¿Cuánto cuesta/n…? (How much is/are…?)
- baleada Una baleada cuesta … lempiras. (A baleada costs … lempiras.)
- pan de coco
- sopa de caracol
- semitas
- tustacas
¡Que tengas un domingo deleitoso! (May you have a delightful Sunday!)
