Hola que tal? Today we’re
going to talk about… Just a second! Do you know how to answer
the phone in Spanish? Answering the phone
can be difficult… What? And hard to understand… What? Let’s take a look
at these two situations: Hello? Hi. Is Julie there? Yes. Just a second. Who’s this? Sara. Yes. Julie. Telephone! I’m in the bathroom! She’s in the bathroom. Do you want to leave a message? No, thanks. Bye. OK. Well, bye. That was
an informal situation. In informal situations,
when you pick up the phone… You usually say… When you are the caller,
and you want to ask for a specific person
you will say: Did you hear what she said? She said… In an informal situation,
if you ask the person to leave a message you can say in Spanish… Now let’s look
at a formal situation: Good afternoon,
WhyNotSpanish Maria speaking. Good afternoon, may I speak
with Julie Gonzalez, please? Yes, just a moment.
Who is calling? Sara Torres. One moment. I’m in a meeting! Mrs. Torres?
Mrs Gonzalez is not available. Would you like to
leave a message? No, thank you.
Bye. All right. Bye. What you just watched there
was a formal situation. Notice that the person
who picks up the phone… …says: The person on
the other side of the line says… In a formal situation
you will usually hear the question Notice how she asks… This is a more
formal way to say Let’s take a look at what we learned today: So, if you’re in an informal situation and you answer the phone you will ask: To ask who is calling you can ask: When you want to speak
to a specific person simply ask: In a formal situation, though, you will need to use
formal greetings. After the greeting,
say who is speaking. If you are asking to speak
to a specific person in a formal context
you should ask: To ask who is speaking you can ask: In both formal
and informal situations If you want to ask the person
to leave a message, you can say: Well, that’s it for today’s lesson.

Tus vídeos son muy divertidos!!! 🤣👌🏾
The first word depends on the country "Allo?" Colombia and Argentina. "Bueno" in Mexico. "¿Sí, diga"? in Spain. etc, etc…
your looking good on this one …nice videos also very helpful
Como se dice "May I leave a message?" Puedo dejar un mensaje?
Mi novia Colombiana responde "ALO."
Your very stylish ever think about a fashion channel?
¿Hay lecciones más avanzadas? Gracias.
other side of the line lol
Me encantan tus vídeos, no son ( o probablemente están es más correcto es esta sentencia, todavía tengo Problem con esto) muy largos que otros en youtube.
I thought they say 'Diga' in Spain or' Digame'?
"Le habla Juan. " What is that el for? I have seen many verbs with this kind of pronouns. Can't figure out. Thank you.
First thing I do before I watch your video is a thumbs up. You have yet to fail that premature voting system. 😉
Pero Yo escucha alguna gentes repuesta el telephono "Bueno" Que es esto?
Muchas gracias. Soy maestra aquí en los Estados Unidos, y muchos de mis estudiantes y sus familias son de México. Busqué y busqué el internet por videos para practicar conversaciones por teléfono así que podría saber cómo comunicar con las familias de mis estudiantes. Este video me ayudó..pues todas de sus videos me han ayudado. Ojalá que nunca deje de grabar estos videos!
Oh god phones calls is the hardest thing to do in another language. There are no visual adds and the person cant write it down.
me gusto tu video!
"Desea dejar un mensaje" (Would you like to leave a message?) sounds like "desa jarle un mensaje". (Unleash a message to her.)
What is being elided here? Did I accurately hear an additional "le"?
Could we have a lesson on common contractions and elisions in informal Spanish, please? Of course, "Como esta/s" is a one of these items. It usually ends up sounding like "Comesta/s" – with the last vowel sound of the "como" elided – left out.
what do we say if we call the wrong number how do we apologize?
love your videos, could you show the written Spanish a bit longer, no so fast, and also the exact translation and its equivalence in English.. just a thought.. thanks..

Hola, María. Tengo una pregunta. What is the literal translation of "¿Me comunica con Julie Gonzalez, por favor?"?
I am trying to understand how that sentence ends up being translated as "May I speak with Julie Gonzalez?" I also want to know what the object pronoun "me" is doing in that sentence.
Muchas gracias por crear este channel. Los videos son buenisimos para mis estudiantes. 🙂
En la Ciudad de México, contestamos el teléfono con "¿Bueno?".
Maria has such charisma and a great sense of humor. She makes it fun to learn Spanish.

¡Ojalá hubiera visto este video antes del viernes pasado! Jajaja!!! 😂 “Digame” es no bueno!
This is so good and useful, muchas gracias Maria. Oh, by the way, I love your choice of makeup, you look great.
You literally look like my wife’s twin, except she’s italian

Hablas Inglés para aprendices de Inglés no para aprendices de Español. Sin ofender mejora tu pronunciación.
You remind me of living in Miami, which I miss very much. De verdad quiero abrazarte eres tan adorable! Jajajaja
