You can already say your name in Spanish. What else does someone want to know after that?

Think of two things people often ask next. We will collect a few ideas, then learn how to say them, just as new classmates do on the first day at a school in Valencia.

Here are today's eight about-me builders. Your teacher plays the audio first: listen, repeat together, then flip the card to check.

Go through the cards twice. The first pass is your name and your age, which is the heart of today's chat. The second pass adds one fact that is true about you, said as a whole sentence rather than a single word.

Endings you can borrow: el fútbol, el baloncesto, la música, el chocolate caliente, el azul, la pizza, or a place you know — Irlanda, Dublín, Cork, Madrid.

On a first day in Valencia it sounds like this: ¿Cómo te llamas? ¿Cuántos años tienes? — Me llamo Lucía. Tengo diez años.

Your teacher will play the clip twice on the class speakers. Listen for two things, then we will answer the questions together:

• the person's age
• one extra fact about them (something they like, where they live, or similar)

Keep those two targets in your head while you listen. No need to catch every word.

Imagine it is your first day at a primary school in Valencia. You have just met in the playground.

Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your partner, both facing the board, and read the model on screen together with your teacher first.

Then Partner A asks the two questions out loud, and Partner B answers with real facts: name, age, and one extra fact. Swap over, and pick a different extra fact the second time.

Endings you can borrow: el fútbol, el baloncesto, la música, el chocolate caliente, el azul, la pizza, Irlanda, Dublín, Cork, Madrid.
