Dialect Lessons

The dialect lessons are not necessarily grammatically correct in Spanish. Each lesson is based on a short story or dialogue told by a native Spanish speaker who has not rehearsed and is not reading from a script. Instead, they are speaking in a normal conversational manner. The translation is not always translated word for word, instead the meaning of the sentence is translated in English. This is meant to provide you with a means for getting used to the variations in dialect that can be heard from region to region. Since people speak very differently depending on the region they are from, these lessons will help you get accustomed to understanding the different dialects that Spanish speakers have.
