Listen, lize how it describes some pedro. I said, is lugar moo lugar bonito, lugar please bonito beautiful, so beat for a place on lugar bonito. Notice I use the verb is a a area which is to be san pedro is lugar And why, sir, because we serve for permanent characteristics of a place. Let's continue. Then we talk about its location. I said, in a northa in the north. It's in the north of tile here. I use a start to be again to be yes, but a start said the area is the verb to be, but for location,
in a northe the north, that's the location. That's why I use a start, so sir, to describe a place and a start for location. And finally, the things you can find there? Did you catch them all?

good news. Singular or plural is always I. I on restaurante. There is a restaurant. I mochose restaurantes. There are many restaurants. You see. I didn't change nice and simple, and this says Spanish is difficult. Come on, smooy facil. I also mentioned the things you won't find in some pedro. No I playa there is no beat, no imcha awa. There isn't much water here. What is important to notice is that the word no goes before the verb. I said no I plaia, not I know plaia. I know plaia.
Sounds like a greeno who hasn't studied Spanish since high school. So the fix is very simple. Put no before the verb, say no I plaia and not I know plaia. Anow that you know the vocabulary. Let's listen to the dialogue again. Here we go.
