Hi Carlos.

Good morning Louisa. What do you want?

What do I want? I want to eat. How many pesos do you have?

Me? I have 3 pesos. Its very little. And you?

I have 5 pesos and 2 dollars.

Thats OK. Lets go eat.

a = [ah] = to

al = [ahl] = to the

beber = [bay-vel] = drink, to drink

cerveza = [sel-vase-ah] = beer

cuesta = [quay-stah] = cost (singular object)

cuestan = [ques-stun] = cost (plural objects) from lesson 13

¿Cuánto cuesta? = [quanto quay-stah?] = How much does it cost?

¿Cuánto cuestan? = [quanto ques-stun?] = How much do they cost?

NOTE: the 2 words "quanto quay-stah/quay-stun", meaning "how much does it/they

cost?" are almost always used together regardless of how it is said in English.

EXAMPLES:

How much does 1 beer cost? = [quanto quay-stah uno sel-vase-ah?]

How much do 8 beers cost? = [quanto quay-stun ocho sel-vase-ahs?]

Notice how you are saying, "How much does it cost, 1 beer?" and "How much do

they cost, 8 beers?"

u = [O] or [oh] = or

baño = [bon-yo] = bathroom
