Every line, three times
Every line is said in Spanish, then in English, then in Spanish again, with matching words in matching colours. The third time, you already know what it means.
Two key phrases in every episode, to say out loud along with the cast.
- Spanish ¡Hola! Un café, por favor.
- English Hi! A coffee, please.
- Spanish again ¡Hola! Un café, por favor.
