Checkpoint: orders, prices, and times
Check quantities, prices, orders, and times.
What you’ll work on
- Retrieve café phrases.
- Recognize numerical information.
- Distinguish current time from event time.
A short conversation
Google voice when available; device voice as a fallback. Read along, then try each line aloud.
Buenas tardes. ¿Algo para tomar?
Good afternoon. Something to drink?
Un té sin azúcar, por favor.
A tea without sugar, please.
¿Para aquí o para llevar?
For here or to take away?
Para aquí. ¿Cuánto cuesta?
For here. How much does it cost?
Identify the requested information
Think about what the customer or listener needs to know: a drink, an ingredient, a quantity, or a time. Give the smallest accurate answer that communicates that detail.
Ask for repetition when needed
In a real café, you can ask a question again. In this checkpoint, replay listening items when needed and note which words are hardest to recognize. Finish by creating your own exchange rather than only repeating the model.
Lesson vocabulary
Listen once, say it aloud, and try to recall the Spanish before looking.
| Spanish | English | Listen |
|---|---|---|
| para aquí | for here | |
| para llevar | to take away | |
| cuánto | how much | |
| la cuenta | the bill |
Practice questions
Try every question, then check your answers. Capital letters and punctuation do not affect your score. Accents and ñ do matter.
Showing an answer makes that question a practice item worth zero for this attempt. Retry with the answers hidden when you’re ready. If audio cannot play, use Show answer / text to practice by reading.
Independent practice
These are independent practice tasks. The site does not record your voice, save your writing, or grade open-ended answers. Ask a teacher or conversation partner for feedback when you can.
Speaking practice
Act out a complete café visit with a greeting, order, follow-up question, price, and farewell.
Writing practice
Write an imaginary café menu with three prices and an opening schedule. Use Spanish words for the numbers.
