Every evening I meet Maxi, normalmente en el bar, to talk about this and that.

Normalmente.  Pronunciar this word /nor-mal-men-tay/.

Mi marido Lee, and mi stepdaughter Elise, go to el gimnasio opposite los apartamentos.  Maxi’s son, Diego, y mi daughter, Izzy, generalmente play or conversar together.

The letter “g” es normalmente like the letter “g” in the word good.  BUT, GE makes a /he/ sound, so generalmente es /hen-e-ral-men-tay/.  AND, GI makes a /hi/ sound, so gimnasio es /him-na-sio/.

As you read about mi familia, and our vacación, you will become familiar with a little español.  To begin with, use this español mixed with inglés to get to your goal: comunicación.

Te toca: your turn.
