The idea in everyday life

Final role-play: fictional Nora arrives Tuesday morning to locate room three for a 4 p.m. class. Use the course phrase bank: Buenos días=Good morning; Me llamo Nora=My name is Nora; ¿Dónde está la sala tres?=Where is room three?; ¿Puede repetir, por favor?=Can you repeat, please?; Siga recto=Go straight; A la derecha=To the right; ¿Martes, a las cuatro de la tarde?=Tuesday, at four in the afternoon?; Sí=Yes; Gracias=Thank you. Reception faces the hall; room three is right at the first junction.

The idea

Success means completing the communication task with support when needed, not sounding fluent.

Complete a class-arrival exchange: guided practice

Success means completing the communication task with support when needed, not sounding fluent.

Use paper or a free local text editor. This is an original fictional practice case; do not submit its records to a real service. Start this lesson with these facts, even if an earlier variation changed them. Final role-play: fictional Nora arrives Tuesday morning to locate room three for a 4 p.m. class. Use the course phrase bank: Buenos días=Good morning; Me llamo Nora=My name is Nora; ¿Dónde está la sala tres?=Where is room three?; ¿Puede repetir, por favor?=Can you repeat, please?; Siga recto=Go straight; A la derecha=To the right; ¿Martes, a las cuatro de la tarde?=Tuesday, at four in the afternoon?; Sí=Yes; Gracias=Thank you. Reception faces the hall; room three is right at the first junction.

  1. 1. Build the opening

    Write a two-line greeting and introduction.

    You should see: Buenos días. Me llamo Nora. [Good morning. My name is Nora.]

    The short opening establishes a polite interaction.

  2. 2. Ask and repair

    Ask for room three and include a repetition request if the answer is unclear.

    You should see: ¿Dónde está la sala tres? ¿Puede repetir, por favor? [Where is room three? Can you repeat, please?]

    Repair is a normal part of beginner communication.

  3. 3. Confirm task details

    Translate the route and repeat the day/time question.

    You should see: Straight then right; Tuesday 4 p.m., confirmed by Sí.

    Checking both place and time completes the practical task.

  4. 4. Assemble the phrase kit

    Save the six lesson exchanges with English translations and a new-name version.

    You should see: A bilingual arrival kit with greeting, need, time, repair, route, and final role-play.

    The kit can be practiced privately without real calls or disclosures.

Now change one thing

Changed final reply: “No, a las tres de la tarde.” Enter the corrected hour in 12-hour form.

Your work

What to finish

Complete a class-arrival exchange record with the worked decisions and changed-case check.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Calling a short supported exchange fluency or requiring an actual call to complete practice.

How can I tell I understand it?

Combine greetings, requests, repair, directions, and time confirmation in one short scenario. Explain the evidence behind the result and correct any mismatch.
