Learning Languages

This week Ms. Tulbure's class read "Pepita Talks Twice."

Pepita, who is bilingual and speaks both Spanish and English, decides she does not want to translate and talk twice anymore. 
Her decision to stop speaking Spanish creates many problems she had not predicted.

Finally, Pepita realizes that it is a good thing to speak two languages.




The story is even written in both Spanish and English!

So we decided to learn a little Spanish ourselves!

Below are some Translations:


¡Bueños días! Good day!


¡Bueñas tardes! Good afternoon!


¡Bueñas noches! Good night!


¿Cómo estas? How are you?


¡Muy bien! Very well!


¡No muy bien! Not very well!


¡Que lástima! What a pity!


¡Gracias! Thank you!


De nada. You're welcome.


¡Hasta mañana! See you tomorrow!


¡Hasta luego! See you later!
