Destination and Fare (part 1 of 2)

Landing in a new country feels exciting right up until you need to get from the airport to your hotel. This quiz puts you in the back seat of a taxi somewhere in Latin America, and by the end of it you'll know how to tell the driver where you're going, ask what the ride costs, and settle the payment, all in natural Spanish.

You'll follow traveler Camila and her driver Miguel through the start of a real ride: a friendly greeting, a destination, and the practical questions every passenger needs, like ¿Cuánto cuesta el viaje? (How much does the trip cost?) and ¿Puedo pagar con tarjeta? (Can I pay by card?). You'll also pick up polite requests such as ¿Me ayuda con la maleta, por favor?, the kind of phrase that smooths your arrival in any city from Mexico City to Bogotá. Assembling the sentences word by word while listening to native speakers means these lines will come to you automatically when a real cab pulls up.
