Speaker 1
Hello, I am about to lifeguard at my local beach.
Speaker 2
What a coincidence, I love to take walks on the beach. Any hobbies?
Speaker 1
That is awesome, be safe. I do karate.
Speaker 2
Sounds like a lot of hard work, is that all you do in your spare time?
Speaker 1
If I am not practicing football, I am with my girlfriend. You?
Speaker 2
Mostly in school, but when I am free I love to go hiking in the mountains!
Speaker 1
That is awesome, I also enjoy horror movies.
Speaker 2
I am not a big horror buff, but I do like to learn new languages.
Speaker 1
Cool, what do you speak?
Speaker 2
Right now I am fluent in both spanish and english.
Speaker 1
Wow where did you learn spanish?
Speaker 2
Highschool, but I will probably be changing schools since we are moving soon.

Speaker 1
guess what? i decided to learn spanish to
Speaker 2
Sweet! Are you doing it on your own, or are you taking a formal class?
Speaker 1
I think I'm going to look into online programs, just to see how it goes. If I like it, I might look into some classes at my local junior college. Have you been able to practice it much since learning in school?
Speaker 2
Yes, there is a big Spanish-speaking community in my city, so I make a habit of going into those neighborhoods on a regular basis. It's really helped me maintain the skill!
Speaker 1
That's great! Even if I learned it, I'm not sure I would have many people to speak with around here. I guess I would be able to watch movies in a different language and see if the experience is any different! Not many people on my football team speak any other languages.
Speaker 2
It would also enable you to read some different literature. Come to think of it, that's a great way to get comfortable with a new language. Read everything you can get your hands on!
Speaker 1
That's a good point. I don't usually think of reading as a favorite hobby, but maybe this would serve as some good motivation! Do you like reading any particular types of books?
Speaker 2
I actually enjoy reading plays in Spanish! Lorca is a really good example of a great Spanish playwright.
Speaker 1
Wow, I don't think I've ever even heard of any Spanish plays or writers. You'll have to remind me of a few of your favorites once I actually get started learning. Seems like a whole new world of stories that I could dive into.
Speaker 2
It's definitely a worthwhile pursuit. All that said, the best way to learn a language is to get your girlfriend involved! Has she expressed any interest in becoming bilingual?
Speaker 1
Hah. Well she's actually taken some classes in school a few years ago, but I think she's already forgotten most of what she's learned. Maybe if I start learning and practicing around her, she'll pick it back up, or at least be motivated to learn again.
Speaker 2
It's an excellent strategy. What sorts of activities do you two like to do? There might be a way to incorporate your Spanish knowledge!

My girlfriend and I watched a really cool movie in Spanish the other day. I think I actually understood some of it.
Speaker 2
That's great! What was the movie? I wonder if I have seen it.
Speaker 1
I forget the title of it but it had something to do with Chocolate
Speaker 2
Well, anything with chocolate must be great! Speaking of movies, what is your favorite movie of all time?
Speaker 1
My favorite of all time is the classic The Fugitive, have you seen it?
Speaker 2
I have not! Can you tell me the premise of the movie? I am always in the market for new content.
Speaker 1
Its about a fugitive that eludes capture, he is innocent after all@
Speaker 2
That sounds intriguing! You should watch the spanish dubbed version of shows and movies you like to help you learn Spanish better.
Speaker 1
Yes thats a good idea.  I can watch with the subtitles on so I can match up with the English words.  What film do you suggest I start with?
Speaker 2
You should honestly start with your favorite movie, The Fugitive! Do you like any sitcom tv shows? Those are always good as well.
Speaker 1
I really like The Office, have you seen it?
Speaker 2
Yes, I have seen it! It is a really funny show. If you like The Office, I think you would also like the show "Superstore"

Speaker 1
I watched the show Superstore that you were telling me about and I love it!
Speaker 2
Yeah it's a great show.  Watching shows and movies are my favorite past time.  So why is The Fugitive your favorite movie of all time?
Speaker 1
I love crime movies and comedy. I know it's not a comedy, but it's about justice being served. Got any other reccoomendations?
Speaker 2
I see.  I've never seen The Fugitive but it sounds intriguing.  I think we both agree The Office is an awesome sitcom.  Seinfeld is another great one that I can recommend.
Speaker 1
How about any horror recoomendations.  guess they don't make many horror shows though.
Speaker 2
I know of one called The Walking Dead.  You should check it out, it's awesome.
Speaker 1
Do you have it? Maybe I can come over and we can talk in spanish while I borrow it from you.
Speaker 2
No I don't.  I watch it on TV when the show comes on.  I have a few horror movies in my collection though and I know you like horror movies.  Have you seen any good ones lately?
Speaker 1
One of my favorites is Shawn of the Dead, since it has both comedy and horror, it a little old. I'm going to have to chat with you more in spanish.
Speaker 2
Yeah my favorite horror movies are mostly the classics as well.  I think they are so much better than current ones.  I'll be happy to practice Spanish with you, it sounds fun.  How are you coming along with your Spanish lessons?
Speaker 1
I'm not around it very often so I feel like I'm not progressing as much as I'd like to. I need more real life experience.
Speaker 2
You're right.  The key is to speak often with other Spanish speakers.  You can only learn so much from a book.  Speaking often is the key.  Why did you develop an interest in learning the Spanish language?

Are you learning Spanish in a class or on your own?
Speaker 1
On my own mainly! How did you learn to speak/read Spanish?
Speaker 2
I had Spanish friends in college who piqued my interest, I mainly taught myself. Let me know if you'd like some tips.
Speaker 1
I would love tips! Maybe we can get together sometime and you can give me some pointers! 
Speaker 2
Sounds good, we could do one of my tips together -- watch a show you already know that is sub titled or dubbed in Spanish. Like "The Office" in Spanish.  "Los Osos, Las remolachas, Battlestar Galactica" 
Speaker 1
I will start doing that! What a great idea! So, how is school going for you?
Speaker 2
Well I'm out for the summer. I start my senior year of college in the fall. What are you doing this summer? Are you still lifeguarding?
Speaker 1
That is exciting that it will be your senior year! I bet you are excited! And yes, lifeguarding is in full swing especially during summer!

Have you ever saved any one?
