Hola,
me
gustaría
hacer
una
excursión
de
kayak.
¿Cuánto
cuesta?
OH-lah, meh goos-tah-REE-ah ah-SEHR OO-nah ehks-koor-see-OHN deh KAH-yahk. KWAHN-toh KWEHS-tah
Hi, I'd like to do a kayak excursion. How much does it cost?
"Me gustaría" (I would like) is more polite than "quiero" (I want) when making requests.
Instructor
Son
trescientos
pesos
por
persona.
Incluye
el
equipo
y
un
guía.
sohn trehs-see-EHN-tohs PEH-sohs pohr pehr-SOH-nah. een-KLOO-yeh ehl eh-KEE-poh ee oon GEE-ah
It's three hundred pesos per person. It includes the equipment and a guide.
You
¿Es
peligroso?
Nunca
lo
he
hecho
antes.
ehs peh-lee-GROH-soh? NOON-kah loh eh EH-choh AHN-tehs
Is it dangerous? I've never done it before.
"Nunca lo he hecho" uses the present perfect tense — a handy structure for talking about life experiences.
Instructor
No
se
preocupe.
Es
para
principiantes.
Les
damos
chaleco
salvavidas
y
una
clase
rápida
antes
de
salir.

Don't worry. It's for beginners. We give you a life jacket and a quick lesson before heading out.
You
Perfecto,
me
apunto.
¿A
qué
hora
salimos?
pehr-FEHK-toh, meh ah-POON-toh. ah keh OH-rah sah-LEE-mohs
Perfect, sign me up. What time do we leave?
"Me apunto" literally means "I sign myself up" — a casual, enthusiastic way to say you're in.
