 CONVERSACIONES BÁSICAS EN INGLÉS

Los idiomas se leen, se escuchan y se hablan. Cada habilidad es distinta y cada habilidad tiene que practicarse.
Algunas usan el verbo to be y otras el presente simple.
De todos modos, se puede tranquilamente memorizar las frases aunque no las entiendas del todo. La mayoría son como frases
hechas, y no hace falta entender la estructura profunda.
