There are several ways to ask someone how they are in Spanish, and many ways to respond. Acquaint your class with some basic conversational phrases that all relate to asking someone how they are, and responding to that same question. The narrator pronounces and explains each phrase clearly. After watching the instructional video, learners can click Practice Video for an exercise. Class members must choose the correct question and response, paying attention to the expression on the face of each cartoon character.
