In this Spanish lesson we are going to learn how to manage when buying clothes in a Spanish shop or market. In the previous two lessons we learned useful vocabulary related to items of clothing in Spanish and how to describe their colour, now we will put all of the pieces of the jigsaw together and learn some useful Spanish shopping phrases such as “oiga perdone” (excuse me) and “es muy caro” (it’s very expensive). If you live in or near a Spanish speaking neighbourhood or are travelling in Spain or Latin America then you have the perfect opportunity to get some free practice time every time you enter a shop, supermarket or street market. The shop assistants are a captive audience that you can really use to your own benefit. They will appreciate the effort you are making to converse in their language and you will get to practice your Spanish with a native speaker for free. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes as this is the only way to improve. If you haven’t made a mistake, it means that you haven’t got off first base. Get stuck in as soon as you can!
