In this interactive scenario, AmigoGPT takes on the role of Alex, a friendly new student at a language school in Marbella, eager to learn Spanish and immerse himself in the local culture. While enjoying a sunny afternoon at a beach café, Alex meets Jaime, a local student who’s just as excited about language exchange.
As they get to know each other, they start chatting about their likes, dislikes, and everyday interests, using key vocabulary and expressions to:
Practice asking and answering questions about preferences
Use verbs like gustar, encantar, and preferir in natural conversation
Build fluency and confidence in expressing opinions in Spanish
Strengthen listening and speaking skills in a real-life, casual setting
This conversation not only helps reinforce grammar and vocabulary but also offers a culturally rich context that makes learning more meaningful and memorable.
