Questions
Where do these sentences come from?
From the Carpi app. They are the sentences the app uses for listening practice, in the Spanish of Argentina, Latin America and Spain.
Why learn what others say?
In real conversations you speak less than you listen. If you know the typical questions of a waiter or a shop assistant, you understand them the first time.
What if I still don't understand?
Use one of the sentences under "If you didn't understand". Asking again is normal and keeps the conversation in Spanish.
